I'm sorry Lasse, I don't have the original print anymore - it went back with my clean-up. I recall it had a date written on the back, and 1938 sounds right. It had their names, and also the venue, which I have forgotten. I have a CD of Grappelli knocking about, but that;s it. I like the name Django thjough ;-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________
