I'm sure you'll enjoy it... back in '96 I was doing some odd jobs for a friend out in the country. He had a lot of sheds, workshop buildings and in one of these were piles of books, among other things. I didn't pay much attention, but one day a book on top of one of the piles caught my eye. 'Goddam Gypsy' with a young Ronald Lee staring back from a well-used cover. So I took it with me and really enjoyed it. I had never heard of the author nor did I know if he was still living or what. A couple of months later I ran into Willie Dunn in Ottawa, after not seeing him for decades. One day after a get together at Stormin' Norman's place, he asked me , out of the blue if I knew Ronald Lee.... and proceeded to tell me about how they once dropped a gallon of wine from a 3rd floor landing into the foyer of an apartment building where they had come looking for a party. I guess they got out of there fast, without the wine...
So about a month later I was at Willie's and he passes the phone over to me, and it's Ron Lee on the other end. We've been friends ever since and opened a lot of doors in the Roma community for me..
It's kind of interesting how it went from finding the book to talking to the author within the span of 3 months, without consciously trying..... could be some Gypsy/Micmac mojo....
good medicine all around
