It's Badass Edition of HDHH this week, so here's a tune by Django Reinhardt. Short version: the gypsy guitarist burned most of his body in a fire, crippling two fingers on his fret hand. But he relearned to play guitar (serving as inspiration for metal god Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath and, briefly, Jethro Tull, following the accidental trimming of two of his fingers). This is "J'attendrai," performed by the Quintette du Hot Club de France; the violinist is Stephane Grappelli.
I can't even think of a word that rhymes,
