Small (and big) children draw guitars and other musical impressions

Buco

Wonderful

@Buco When I started this thread, I was a little bit afraid that I might be thrown out of the forum with all that scrawling. But when I look at the large number of views and the friendly comments, I am very glad to see that people her on djangobooks appreciate children's drawings on musical subjects as much as I do.

Andre Franquin and Alain Antonietto

"Don't you hear the difference?" "THIS is a Di Mauro!"

Alain Antonietto is co-author of this book:

Michael Dregni, Alain Antonietto, Anne Legrand Django Reinhardt and the Illustrated History of Gypsy Jazz 2006

The original drawing and more "guitares manouches", Franquin:

Second try.

Baritone horn.

(In Germany we call it "Tenorhorn")

Very small archtop guitar, very big soprano recorder, but her heart has just the right size.

Looking for the original Franquin drawing, I stumbled over this interesting website: https://gypsyjazzuk.wordpress.com/gypsy-jazz-uk-home/djangos-birth-and-early-childhood/django-on-film/, containing for example the picture below:

A bit off topic, but here are several animated cartoons and such I found strolling around in the internet:

Django Reinhardt "Minor Swing" https://youtu.be/O-nMuYxRtX8 animated movie

Django Reinhardt "I'll See you in my Dreams" https://youtu.be/O-nMuYxRtX8 stop motion video

Django's hand https://vimeo.com/133974922 animated movie

I think you all know this one, the animation starting "patrus53"-videos: https://youtu.be/L1MTG-HxMGA. I like it very much because of the close connection between music and hand movement.
