Power of Gypsy Music.
Many people believe that Gypsies are in possession of magical powers. Friends, I am here to tell you that the real power is in the music.
True Story:
I was playing the famous Gypsy song, Muro Shavo, on the stereo one day.
Loud!
The windows were open wide and so the sounds met with the ears of my neighbor, who worked in his garden.
Well!
Next thing I knew there was a loud rapping upon my door.
I opened it. It was my neighbor, spade in hand.
"What is that music you are playing?!" He demanded.
"Oh, is it too loud? I will turn it down for you happily," said I.
He shook his head, "No don't turn it down! What is it?"
And he smiiiiled.
I had never before seen this man smile. Ever!
"Its Gypsy music! You like?"
"I love!" He cried. "I've never before heard anything like it!"
You have to understand that his son had died in auto accident a few years before, and since that time, he had been walking around like a dead man.
But, when he heard the muscular and cheerful strains of Muro Shavo, the sounds traveled a straight path to his heart, piercing it, and creating within him a pleasurable rattling of joy, reminding him of the great beauty of life!
The power of Muro Shavo made part the clouds and a great light filled his spirit. He was alive! Muro Shavo!
