And if someone did try to play music at a wedding they weren't invited to, it would probably end up very awkwardly. <BR/><BR/>This is a great shot.

I would love to hear them play again. Coincidently, when we were in Paris last spring, there were "Romi" playing on every other metro station. What a surprise look I got when I asked them to play Djelem, djelem for me. I had tears in my eyes... <BR/><BR/>Branka from CanadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-53124712680080685912008-10-21T22:27:00.000+02:002008-10-21T22:27:00.000+02:00A lovely shot of the two musicians.

Takes some practice! A friend whose name was Dejan, who lived in the States, finally just told people that the "j" was silent in his name! Otherwise, he got the "j" sound in "Dijon," the "j" sound like in "Juan," or just plan Dee-jan.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00241553607254199559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-14683320102690287312008-10-21T09:27:00.000+02:002008-10-21T09:27:00.000+02:00I'm glad that the youth is still keeping the t...I'm glad that the youth is still keeping the tradition going! Such wonderful music they must make.<BR/>(I couldn't help remembering the movie "Ko to tamo pjeva" ... my friend Ljilja & I were on the bus at Mammoth last summer, recollecting scenes from the movie & just cracking up.)
