		And Django, whose local reputation was confined to a few young music fans, was already clearly their master.” Besides, Django, despite his youth, was an experienced “pro” who could handle all the different repertoires : Neapolitan love-songs, “Spanish” numbers, current dance hits, musette (of course), and even recital pieces and Viennese waltzes.
		Django’s musical vitality was a shaft of light in the gloom of those sad years and set an example which others were not slow to follow.
