Q:”How long have you been out, so to speak, without a break right now?”

A: “Well, this time, we were out something like about five weeks. But I mean, this isn't really anything we call a break because we don’t live anywhere, we're gypsies. And we just go from one spot to another, so while the office prepares for the next dates and so forth and every once in a while like Christmas and Easter, we go home to see the families. Otherwise, our families have to come by and see us.”
