Too bad nobody in rock guitar seems to play clean anymore. Joe Pass played clean and Pat Methane plays clean.

Too much distortion that destroys the pitch is bad (I'm looking at you, Led Zep and descendants thereof)

Nuages means "Clouds" in French.

My dad (who was a cool dude into jazz) and I saw Stephane Grappelli in the late 70s or maybe early 80s in Houston at Rockefeller's, a nightclub that was more concert hall than drinking spot.

It was called Rockefeller's because it was the old Heights State Bank. The vault was a private dining room!!

Grappelli was TOO COOL! The club owner said he wasn't sure anyone would show up because they might not know who he was.

Grappelli was old. It was the most successful gig Rockefeller's ever had.
