Nora Jones compared Willie Nelson to famous jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, and it was the greatest compliment he’s ever received … the only difference is the number of fingers they use to play guitar.

Transcript: Nora Jones had a band called Little Willies and they were fans of mine and they used to say that, “Willie was like Django with one finger.” Django only had these two fingers. Right? I love Django and my guitar has similar tone, but the tone of his guitar was the best. That was the greatest compliment. To say that I was as half as good as Django was good enough.
