Fan Django- "Archtop"
Eddy's Colorado-based, Django band. Before I met Eddy, my
knowledge and interest in playing Gypsy Jazz was just beginning to get
started, and my guitar collection was focused on archtops. Thanks, to

copies! (An Ibanez Mac- and a Dell-Arte Ano10. This website grew out of numerous
e-mail and telephone conversations with him.
