Geee, what reminded you of Django today? :-P
I love Django, I think he should be studied by everyone, and there are some bands fusing the styles today (the ridiculously gifted Hot Club of Cowtown is likely my favorite 3-piece roots music band)....
but I'm not sure about the theory that he was a big original influence on Western Swing. Would be interested in reading what you've found on that, as no doubt you've got links. :-)
Theory I've seen was Texan and Okie musicians encountering Reinhardt and Grapelli in France during WW2, but Spade Cooley and Bob Wills were already big names well before D-Day. Could definitely buy that gypsy jazz moved the needle postwar, though!
