The Unquenchable Loneliness of the Closet DJ
I set an old unpublished piece of bargoing fiction to a Django Reinhardt track that has moved into the public domain.
Inspired by WNYC’s Public Song Project, I raided public domain stacks and found Django Reinhardt’s “J’Attendrai.” I do not pretend to be on par with Le Guitar Avec le Voix Humaine; I love the man’s music and I liked the juxtaposition of this song with how I remember that some of those drunken summer nights felt and sounded.
Ecouter, s’il vous plait.
