    Late evenings I am at the computer. No longer having a working Hi Fi setup, I am grateful for YouTube. So my interest in music, IMO covers a wide spectrum. All my life I have longed to be able to play piano. Even in the dark. I spent time, 'plink plonking' one handed on the ivories. much as I tried, my left hand simply wasn't interested.

    So YouTube comes to my rescue. Here I have discovered. The Maestro & the European Pop Orchestra. Great. Then orchestral and piano music. 'Lucy, the blind teenager. pianist Fantastic. Forgive, but I could easily write a new forum based on me and my love for music.

    So sorry for being a bore.

    I find it a bit sad for a lot vintage audio enthusiasts.
    They find and restore old radios like these, with beautifully made wooden cabinets.

    But the radio stations they were designed to receive are fast disappearing.

    I've been listening to this. I've a few of her CDs but I'd not heard this before.

    It's been recorded for over a century at various tempos, by "the world and his wife," from Ella Fitzgerald to Django Reinhardt.
    Even Joe Brown and Bruce Springsteen recorded it!

    I like it by Diana Krall, as it's a bit of an homage to Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli and their, "Hot Club of France," era.
