Thanks for the post. Methinks that the Travelers/Gypsies are not limited to the Midwest.

I recently caught a performance by a musician whose playing has been described as "the wild, traveler's style." Paddy Keenan is one of the world's foremost pipers and apparently the musical style of his family is distinctive from the more traditional style of most Irish musicicians. His father was described as a traveler and a fine musician in his own right. If you think "Amazing Grace" is inspiring on the pipes, check out Paddy Keenan's solo of "Loch Erne Shore." Pure spirit transposed as music.
