(sorry I didn't identify myself by name before)

Thank you all.

My curiosity was aroused by the cd I'm A Romany Rai. I bought it largely for the Carolyne Hughes material. I'd read passing references to her and was anxious to actually hear her. She bowled me over! I remember reading that she inspired the MacColl song (dont know the name) "move along get along move along get along go move shift." Can anyone confirm that?

Jim -- I find the fragmented nature of these songs intriguing. It's like looking at a broken plate. All the pieces are shattered and scattered, but it's beautiful in it's own right. Or like a bunch of what John Cohen calls 'Tennessee haikus" strong together and adding to a story, or at least a glimpse of one.

Not only has the Voice of The People series not (yet?) done anything with Scots an Irish travellers, but it seems to have focused on the south of England an Wales at that. Are there travelling people in other areas, and do they have songs? (Pardon ignorance, American)

And speaking of the US -- Has anyone else noticed the resemblance of
the new Voice of The People logo to the Readers Digest logo. Give me the willies to look at it
