yea his curtains caught on fire, and while trying to put them out, he seriously burnt them, his hand was all mutilated. but could still play amazingly, with just two fingers left, that were able to play.

and yea django is amazing, songs such as "rose room" "embraceable you" and "daphne" are really cool.

(if you like django watch woody allen's "sweet and lowdown". (not based on real life))
