Romany Musicians


They've become a familiar sight outside our grocery stores and shopping centers--Romany from Bulgaria, playing instruments with their case open on the ground in front of them. The accordian pays best, even if the person can't play it best. Look at a map. Why would someone trek clear from Bulgaria, in the east, to the Netherlands in the west--for this? If you had so little opportunity at home, you would, too.
