[edit] Pink Floyd

Wanted to put up a source for my previous statement on his interaction with the band, but it wasn't quite important enough to note in the external sources section I believe.

Details can be found here, in a transcription of an interview held with Roger Waters:

[edit] Quotations

Shouldn't the quotation be in wikiquote?

[edit] Orphanage

I interviewed Stephane in 1978, and at that time he confirmed to me he had spent those war years in the care of Isadora Duncan's famous dance school for children. Hardly an 'orphanage'. I don't know why I asked him about Isadora, it was just the first thing that popped into my mind after waiting my turn to speak with him and hearing his emphatic voice through the hotel door telling someone "I don't want to answer any f**king questions about Django!" -- we jazz media people in the halls all shuffled our feet and quickly rethought our strategies, and for me it was Isadora, his then-new Columbia Masterworks release, and his 70th birthday celebrated by circumnavigating the globe three times. That was also, he said, the year he quit smoking. -- garym

[edit] inappropriate photo, IMO

Made me think that Grappelli played cello, which is not true (his instrument was violin)- User:86.57.253.57

Silly man, that's a double bass. But I agree, a picture of Grapelli on his own with a violin would be far more appropriate. --Rover Segundo 13:17, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Influence

I think there should be more about his influence on violinists and his astounding command of the intrument, both technical and emotion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.167.138.107 (talk) 21:31, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
