made this up originally for my Music class research about Django Reinhardt.

..........

Jean "Django" Reinhardt (French pronunciation: [dʒɑ̃ɡo ʁenɑʁt]; 23 January 1910 - 16 May 1953) was a Gypsy jazz guitarist.
One of the first prominent European jazz musicians, Reinhardt remains one of the most renowned jazz guitarists. With violinist Stéphane Grappelli, he cofounded the Quintette du Hot Club de France, described by critic Thom Jurek as "one of the most original bands in the history of recorded jazz." Reinhardt's most popular compositions have become jazz standards, including "Minor Swing", "Belleville", "Djangology", "Swing '42" and "Nuages" (French for "Clouds").

The details in the video weren't from Wiki though. Got a hundred from this.
Instead of just flushing this to my laptop's recycle bin, I decided to upload it here on YouTube for those who are interested in jazz, guitar or in Django Reinhardt himself.

Since I'm a well-known procrastinator, I made this up a night before morning submission so I'm saying sorry for some errors/not-so-good parts.

Like it? Dislike it? Show it! Oh and leave comments. =D
Thank you.
