That&#8217;s how Cillette Swann describes the Americana genre&#8217;s ability to let artists mix varied styles on the same record. Cilette, along with husband Roman Morykit, are better known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gypsysoul.com\/home.asp\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Gypsy Soul&#8221;<\/a>, a duo who call southern Oregon their home. In this interview from last December (consider this my &#8220;Christmas in Spring&#8221; podcast), we talked about how they ended up in Oregon &#8211; he&#8217;s from England, she&#8217;s from Canada, and they met in Scotland &#8211; and discussed how their different music and writing styles merged to form Gypsy Soul.<\/p>\n<p>On a personal note, we talked at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.monarch-cove-inn.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Monarch Cove Inn<\/a> in Capitola, CA. Fifteen and a half years ago, that property was known as El Salto Resort, and my wife and I were married there. (The cabin where I talked to Cillette and Roman literally stands on the same grounds where our wedding took place. Let&#8217;s just say I&#8217;m fond of the place and it gave us something extra to talk about.)<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/gypsoul2dot5.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Cilette Swann and Roman Morykit<br \/>\n(and Roman&#8217;s guitars)<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n<p><strong>Contest Announcement:<\/strong> Congrats to &#8220;Joanna&#8221;, who won the March &#8220;Songs and Stories&#8221; contest and a copy of Keith Greeninger&#8217;s &#8220;Glorious Peasant&#8221; CD.
