You can see in this photograph his left hand. He was a gypsy, and when he was young his mother's trailer caught fire. His left hand was badly burned, and permanently disfigured. He had to re-learn to play the guitar, and grew up to be the toast of Paris in the'30s and hugely influential.
I just love this song. The bass work towards the end of this song is awesome. Emilio Modeste is awesome on the sax on this cut. Has a Grover vibe to it.
