French Festival Santa Barbara, July 2009

[Paul Statman]

Anyone going to this annual French Festival this year? The guitarist from my band and I are playing there (first time for me) on the Saturday 12th at 12:15pm & at 1:20pm as "Django Shmango". I'll have to learn a few more Django tunes on mando, and we're still not sure of the rest of the lineup (mando/guitar/fiddle so far). We may bring a bass-player from LA..

Great! Come say, "Hi" if you do make it. I've got a wheelbarrow-full of Django originals and covers to learn (and a whole bunch I've never heard before) by then..best get cracking..

Looks like I will be there. By the way have you heard they are now having Django jam nights at Zoey's Cafe in Ventura?

My guitarist is heavily into Django. He has this band, although for this gig he'll be the only member of Django Shmango. This will be my first time playing this stuff. Ventura is a little far for me to venture a trip that long for a jam..
I look forward to meeting you there, Greg.
