Hey folks-
So, I was doing some thinking, and I realized that, well, since there will be a couple Rom (and Rom-friendly folks!) at upcoming events, there should be more singing and dancing! This means we'd need to have some common songs. I did some digging and found some online sheet music for four traditional Romani melodies, along with Youtube versions of both the songs and some folks dancing to them as an example:

I sing and play the clarinet, and I plan to learn all four songs both ways for the May event. Would anybody like to join me? I'd love some guitar (and Heidi, I seem to remember a violin in the Healers Guild!) and other folk instruments. Come on, what's more fun than dancing and singing around a fire? (Well, I suppose putting down your instruments and putting a few gnolls in their place, but still-!)
