If it wasn't for Larry's constant efforts to explain the the struggling situation gypsies face, and everything they have gone through, I would have never understood it.
For me that is quite personal, since my family comes from a bordering Roma village.
I usually have a difficult time paying attention to political issues, but the passion Larry expresses on these issues, brings them to my attention.
I have learned a great deal from Larry's folk songs, and I have also learned a great deal from his postings discussing gypsy issues.
For this I am truly thankful.
