Subject: RE: Travellers' Songs at CAMSCO
I Know... Williamson is a famous Rominichal name... Scottish travellers = Romanichal... they speak a language closer to Romaness, the language of eastern european Gypsies, than the Irish Travellers who speak an mostly unrealted language, Shelta... Good on ya to bring us this music. BUT they generally do always sing in English. They are the decendants of the Roma led into Scotland by Jamie Faa. Cheers Larry
