No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: Abelardo Carbono.

The only distinctive feature of Django [Reinhardt]’s room was the vast amount of light that flooded in. The window opened on to a long balcony from which you could see the greyish roofs of lower Montmartre, whose red chimneys cut into the capital’s smoky horizon like the battlements of some ancient castle. Behind the screen, where a kitchen of sorts had been rigged up, the monkey spent the better part of each day unearthing the remains of meals. What trouble this monkey caused! Django would never agree to part with it despite the complaints of the hotel manager. One day it would be eating soap, the next floorcloth! ‘When are you going to get rid of that menagerie of yours?’ the boss would ask him threateningly, but Django replied only by shrugging his shoulders, though he might mumble ‘What a peasant!’ between his teeth. And when he left the hotel, as though to avenge himself, he omitted to pay the money he owed. However, when the boss had regained his temper he told his customers: ‘Ah! If you knew what a state they left that room in! But I’m proud to have put up that famous gipsy who plays the guitar so well!’

— Charles Delaunay, Django Reinhardt.
