This is how Bob describes the CD which he produced to share his knowledge of the Romani language and culture:
 | | Gary Small |
"Juki, Lee & Gary contributed their lyrics to three of the songs. thus giving the CD an international flavour. So I honour my Prala. So I thought about what other songs & tried to choseÌý Traditional songs that I play and relate directly to the Romani/Traveller/Tinker way of life as it once was in the UK, and elsewhere.
 | | Juki |
Plus one or two originals of mine, one in honour of my father andÌý one about a tramp who was rather well known here in New Zealand, who I met a few times when I was a chavo. I've called it Rokkraben O Gillia which means Talking the Songs, as I introduce myself in my Romanes then Englis, h plus I introduce each song that way as well withÌýas few words as possible. Then I say Farewell in Romanes.

My main reason for sending it to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Kent website, is because I feel some will enjoy listening to it, some may even learn from it, but most of all, if it gets just one young Romani person, thinking, 'Hey! If old Bob can do that, then so can I'
then it's all worth it." The CD can be obtained from Valley Stream Media:
