summed up in three words: roulette and
roulette
Django is Gypsy aeant tout His ambl-
ton is to be King of the Romanichels which
is not too farfetched considering that nearly
every Gypsy in France knows him and most
of them claim to be his cousin.
When he gives concert or opens at
new night club. the precincts are always
crowded hours in advance with scores of
cousins. Some swank clubs have threat
ened to fire him unless he shooed his monu-
mental family away before the regular
customers arrived
Respect. or Else
In ANY controversy involving Cypsies,
whether a matter of principle or his pocket
book, Reinhardt always sides with his kin
folk and will stalk out if they are not shown
the amount of respect he feels they deserve.
Another one of his tricks runs this way:
A group of unsavory, hungry. ill-kempt
characters enters one of Paris most dis
iCSldQl dlitS dliu ollS dOWl at q
table. Then Django, with his guitar under
his arm appears at the door.
He is an itinerant musician who desires
to play for whatever the clientele cares to
bestow. Such musicians being d rorde du
jour in Paris, the request is always granted.
Django settles down and begins to play
magnificent zigane music. After few
chords, the customers realize they are
being serenaded by a genius, and when
he passes the plate, the francs pour in.
Then comes the coup de thfdtre that bowls
over everyone from the boss to the bus boy.
Taking off his hat, smoothing down his
collar, and rubbing his hands in anticipa-
ton, Reinhardt joins his Gypsy friends and
orders the best of food and drink for them.
At other times - if he's not in the mood.
