A guy walks into a bar and asks the barman who it is who is playing and where they can buy the music. The answer is that it's Django Rheinhardt and it's an impro and can't be found on tape anywhere. Andres Segovia, one of the World's most famous classical guitarists was impressed by this. And, guess what, Django had lost some of his fretting fingers in a fire in his parent's gypsy caravan. And that's no joke.
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?
