Great laugh! Ah yes, Happy New Year… 
Let’s Make 2010 One-Louder!
Hi Fellow Musicians, Guitarists, and Django Lovers
I would like to convey in this New Years message firstly my thanks to all of you out there who have made this global community of ours such a wonderful one in sharing our love and appreciation of Gypsy Jazz and our hero Django Reinhardt.
The love of Gypsy Jazz has come a long way over the past few years and I especially feel a part of this now I have my own Blog where I can share my experience with others and I feel closer to the community than ever before. I appreciate all the comments and words of encouragement which literally drive me to create new material which is always a challenge but ultimately rewarding.
To know that musicians are benefiting from my efforts helping them to get out there and live the dream of playing music is deeply motivating.
2009 was a big year for me in many ways but most importantly for me because of the birth of my son Salvador. Also the creation of this blog which I feel is growing into something very special.
I want to encourage us all to really go for it in 2010 and improve ourselves as musicians share the love and realize our dreams. I know from experience that it takes a lot of effort but if you can play a little every day and master new tricks, licks, songs, rhythms etc. then we will all make the world a better place through our music.
As we all know 2010 is the 100th birthday of the man himself, Django Reinhardt, and I for one am really relishing the opportunity to get out there to the festivals meet new players and kick some ass!!! We owe it to Django!!
I have several new and exciting projects in the pipeline and I look forward to getting them out to the world and moving on with sharing the knowledge and experience I have amassed over the years. My motto is to always be honest and give what I can give without pretending or hiding behind complicated technical jargon – I want to give it up straight from the heart. It´s the only way for me.
I wish you all a fantastic 2010 – Happy New Year!!!!!
Cheers, Robin

Utterly priceless… the entire film is wonderful.
When U2 made ‘Rattle and Hum’, one critic said “these guys must have seen This is Spinal Tap and thought it was serious……..” Nuff said
Happy New Year

where I work, I’ve spotted a few amps that go to 13. There’s always a good chuckle followed by Spinal Tap impersonations when we see that.
Thanks Robin for leading the way in producing hands down the best teaching method for all those who aspire to play Django’s music.
Happy New Year. stu

Hi Robin. I wish you an happy new year, for you, your family and your friends.
I wonder if I could buy the CD Tracks of “The Gypsy Jazz Play Along” VOL 5 (and the book, if needed). I have all the other volumes (the Gig Book too) but not the 5th. Vol5 has pleasant pieces of music such as Blue Drag, Swing Guitars, Lulu Swing and I’d like to study them thanks to your method.
Regards and Thank you, Jean-Michel
