and what became of the gypsy band?

A GYPSY BAND ABOARDED THE VAN
DREADLOCKED DAMES AND LIKEWISE GENTS
WITH FIDDLES MANY AND ACCORDIA, TOO
ABOARDED THE VAN TO CATCH THE VIEW

OF THE WILDRIVERS COAST TO ARCATA THEY WENDED...
THE STORY TOLD- THERE TO KLETZMER AND FOLK AS WELL...
AND MAYBE TUNE UP WITH A LITTLE BAR TALK OF THE
UPPER WEST SIDE OF HERE AND THERE- NEW YORK, MAYBE-

OR, WAS IT CHICAGO, SOUTHSIDE...AS IN HYDE PARK-
BUT ISN'T THAT IN NEW YORK...AND WAS IT LOWELL WHO WAS AT THE PARTY WHERE THEY WALKED BACK AND FORTH
TALKING OF MICHAELANGELO- HELL, I DUNNO...

IT COULD HAVE BEEN T.S. ELIOT FOR THAT MATTER...
ANYWAY SOME CEREBRAL DUDE OR DUDETTE WHO COULD 'RAP' IT IN A NUTSHELL SO CONVINCINGLY THAT HE COULD CONVINCE OTHERS SHE COULD DISTINGUISH BETWEEN

BARTOK AND BAR TALK...

IF I MAY BE PERMITTED A POETIC LICENSE TO VENTURE INTO THE "NOETIC" REALM: THE GYPSY ORCHESTRA OR 'BAND' CAPTIVATED THEIR ARCATA AUDIENCE...AND WAS LAST SEEN CAMPING OUT ON THE CALIFORNIA COAST, HAVING AT LAST DISCOVERED 'EL DORADO'.
