My friend hasn't got back to me yet, but I found a really interesting Yizkor
book on the Jewish Genealogy web site. It talks about "Jewish Gypsies" or
music box people:
http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/mlawa/mlawa12.html
According to the book, they were itinerant people, mostly all related to one
another, who lived like Gysies, played the hurdy gurdy, did magic tricks
etc. but were Jewish. I've never heard of them before.
