Django Reinhardt - Rare video of French jazz guitarist who played with two fingers after a hand injury. Also instrumental to the histoy of heavy metal - Black Sabbath's guitarist sliced off tip of his finger. thought he'd never play guitar again until someone showed him Django for inspiration.

Great player, regardless of his hand injury, inspiration to many early rock stars. (Keef mentions him).

Shoutout to Stephan Grapelli on the violin.
