Hi there Judy, and apologies for slow reply (also traveling). Very happy to "shout you out" - I do love your Substack and all you do. I hope you enjoyed my own article and will be equally fascinated to know what you think once you get to see the documentary in question.
A fascinating read Tony. It's on Youtube and it's now on my list!
I was interested in the paragraph on the use of "gypsy". I have a mate who plays "gypsy jazz" and has had issues with venues not being happy with the "words". I'll send him your take.
Thanks Dick, always appreciated when people appreciate reading about something different. And yes, please do share with your "gypsy jazz" friends. As I wrote in my Capstone project, the Gypsy Kings also show no signs of changing their name.
Wow Tony, that is fascinating that you are researching the art and culture of flamenco! We are walking some of the same musical steps again :)
I'm just back from a trip -I can't wait to read this. Thanks for much for the shout out!

THank you Tony! I'm glad the doc is on YouTube - I'm excited to see it -got it cued up for my summer vacation watching in June.
And thanks for the playlist!
FYI, you might be interested in this book if you have not read it
