“RESURRECTION OF DJANGO He was born in a gypsy caravan and spent his early years on the road in Belgium, playing the banjo for a dancing bear and a goat. He was eighteen when his wagon caught fire and he was left for dead. He lost a leg, a hand. Goodbye road, goodbye music. But as they were about to amputate, he regained the use of his leg. And from his lost hand he managed to save two fingers and become one of the best jazz guitarists in history. There was a secret pact between Django Reinhardt and his guitar. If he would play her, she would lend him the fingers he lacked.”

“Šta sam to imao od života? Nečiju kosu, nečiju ruku, jedno srce ustreptalo.
I dva tri osmeha tiha i prosta.
Sve je to ponekad tako malo.
Sve je to, videćeš, sasvim dosta.”
