I wrote "Gypsy Girl" in an effort to shine more Light on our homeless brothers and sisters and to encourage us not to look away, even while we're being cautious. Chris Jensen of Chris Jensen Photo Design, Ventura CA, created and filmed the video at NAMBA Arts, downtown Ventura, and Jade Riley plays our homeless young woman. Recorded at Big City Recording, Granada Hills CA, with Paul Tavenner at the board, Greg Smith on piano, Larry Steen on bass, Chris Wabich on drums, Scheila Gonzales on sax, and Erik Chapman on cello. Thank you for watching!
