At the South by Southwest Music Festival in March, TYPSY GYPSYs danced at the Dizzy Rouster bar on 6th Street. Denisea convinced her jazz trumpet playing boyfriend Karl to play "Body and Soul" for her to dance to, and he did an outstanding job. But the real enchantment happened as they were walking back to the car. They met up with a street musician named Scrap Iron, who had come to Austin from Dallas for SXSW, and Scrap Iron's harmonica/wife "Henrietta." Karl and Scrap Iron had a little mini jam session right there on the sidewalk on 6th Street, and the impromptu, improvised harmonies they created were nothing short of magical!

Scrap Iron told us that he does weddings, parties, bar mitzvahs, whatever, and he recited the phone number of a church in Dallas through which he could be contacted, but unfortunately, Denisea can't remember that number!
