Django: Web Application Framework (or Guitar Genius?)

I'm a guitarist who got into computers by accident. My main guitar interests are Brazilian guitar, classical, jazz, and traditional flamenco.

It was interesting to find a Web application framework called Django, that was named after the guitarist. Although I don't play steel-stringed guitar and don't use a pick, I really like "Gypsy jazz" and would like to learn this style of guitar playing. Below are some video clips of the master himself, Django Reinhardt, playing guitar.

Why is Django considered such a good guitar player?

First, note that his left hand only has two working fingers. His hand was severely damaged in a fire when he was younger, and it is baffling how he managed to play like he did.

Listen to his phrasing, and complete mastery of improvization across chord changes. He created an entire genre of guitar playing.

I also wanted to post a great video of Stochelo Rosenberg, but Google Video seems to have disabled the ability to embed that video in Web sites unless using "blog" services like MySpace.
