Django Reinhardt

Speaking of the incomparable Belgian guitar wizard - whose partner Stephane Grapelli was a close friend of the family via brother Pete, here is an unglamorous but definitive site which I mischievously match to the sort of thing I utterly loathe - tributes to heroic folks like limbless surfers or tongue-less wine tasters or blind racing drivers or, as in this case, the 'Fingerless Fiddler'.

Of course, having writ thus, I shall catch my hand in a ferry lanyard, lose all fingers of my left hand and be forced to be similarly heroic.
