I remember when I first started listening to Django, I kept listening to the first 40 seconds trying to transcribe Django's solo.  I never transcribed it all!

Many thanks for putting me right there. I didn't feel that I new much other than he had a bad "chord"- hand, and vaguely assumed it was a birth defect. It's as well I mentioned it, or I would not now now the reality, which it is worth a mention, I feel.
Or maybe everyone in the world knows this. Sorry !
DE-formed, indeed - in a fire ?! - SHIT ! Pain ! . Any one know how come ?

He, nevertheless became a great guitarist in months. Stephane Grapelli says that the injury probably improved Django's playing because it slowed him down causing him to be more thoughtful. If you've ever listened to the speed of Django, it is hard to imagine him playing faster.

I would agree with that. He was forced to find a new way to move up and down the fretboard. The fact that he did it and did it so well, and probably improved his playing, shows what a genius he was.
