A friend of mine sent me this. I figured you and the rest of the forum would enjoy it.

Yes folks- he's only using (2) fingers.

Sorry Kevan,

I just now noticed this...... again, sorry I missed it til now.....

To the very best of my knowledge that is just about the only video on Django and Stephane that's out there.... That is in complete song format..... There are small 10-30 sec clips of video.... But this one is the only complete song that I know of....

I've never had a copy... Thanks alot for posting it......It's a great study of Django's fingering and how he used to 2 crippled fingers to slide with......

Thanks again.....

It is amazing playing. I wish the film/sound quality was better, but...oh well. I'll take what I can get!

If I come across any more rarities from Django, I'll let ya know.

I just ordered a DVD from Amazon about the life of Stephane Grapelli.

It's called "Stephane Grapelli, a Life in the Jazz Century....."

Apparently it has all the Django/Stephane stuff that exists on film....

Thanks again....
