Every time I heard I Recall A Gypsy Woman by Don Williams it always reminds me of the unusual hot summer of 1976 in the UK.

Crystal Waters "Gypsy Woman"

Though more familiar with the "In Living Color" parody since I didn't know it was a real song 'til years later  :D

From Frank Zappa & the Mothers: Who Needs the Peace Corps?

"I'm hippie and I'm trippy
I'm a Gypsy on my own
I'll stay a week and get the crabs
and take the bus back home
I'm really just a phony,
But forgive 'cos I'm stoned..."

The late Maestro Zappa used the phrase "Gypsy on my own" because Gypsies, it is well known, travel communally.  Zappa's scathing send-up concerned the way the stoned Haight-Ashbury counterculture didn't know jack about the cultures they tried to imitate.
"Who needs the Peace Corps?" alludes to the way the hippie kids snubbed hard-work and self-sacrifice to affect REAL change, favoring hedonistic treks to San Francisco.

Anyway...

Rock on!

Now that phrase really applies here!  Unfortuantely not many others do...

Donovan: The Enchanted Gypsy

That's from his greatest album, a double called "A Gift From a Flower to a Garden."  It's got a picture of Donovan and the Maharishi on the back of it.  Donovan's in-jacket booklet, his message to the young one, urges all the flower children to stay away from drugs of any kind.  I still say "Gift" is great for a mellow mystical time hanging out with the green guy, and I know Donovan agrees!

It's not like the Zappa frenzy of freaked out John Coltrane/Edgard Varese musique concrete brain scraper, nor is it like the overbearing, mind-wrenching riffs from Hendrix's left-handed guitar.  Noooo, Donovan takes a gentle, mystical journey of spiritual liberation, love, and transcendance...there's just no better record out there than "Gift from a Flower to a Garden" for that!
