Ely,

I am very curious to know more about the man who plays Gypsy music, anything you can find out, including where the music that he plays is from, how he learned it--You have a very special acquaintance there, and, it would be worth thinking about sitting him down in front of a good recording machine, opening a bottle of slivovitz, and recording as much of his repertoire as you can--if you can't do it yourself, there are a good number of people around who might be able to help you out--
