Thanks Michael, and yes that is what I was really listening to. My wife has
some Romanian Gypsy blood in her and we started exploring the music of her
roots. We listen to quite a variety in our house. My little two year old
often asks for Gypsy music or Latin jazz, but he also likes Coltrane,
Hendrix and Muddy Waters.
Unfortunately I'm not drinking any tea at the moment. Better go remedy
that.
