For St. David's Day

Just finished listening to your show. I think it was first Welsh music I've heard, at least that I knew was Welsh. I quite enjoyed the show and look forward to others.

YMOS,
Tony

I was also able to listen in this time, yay! I'm looking forward to catching future shows as well.

Damn, I missed the feed. Just saw the post and it is 9:07 Mt. time. I was still working at 7:00.

My friends Maryn Lewellyn and Rhys Bowen both enjoyed the show. They're probably the only two Welsh-Americans at this school (that I know of)!

And let us not fo'get that Frank Lloyd Wright was born in Richland Center, Wisconsin where there was a Welsh-American community AND he came back to build Taliesin East in Spring Green, Wisconsin.

A friend of mine lives in one of his houses. His family doesn't own it (some trust of bank or something does) but he lives there, and it's amazing.

What amazes some of us about Wright's work is that apparently he never designed a roof that would not leak. An owner of one of his most famous houses, "Falling Water" nicknamed it "Rising Mildew" and the owner's wife commented, "I guess you have to expect this sort of thing when you leave a work of art out in the rain."

When owners of his houses socialized they sometimes asked each other, "Do you have a one-, two- or three-bucket roof?"

Same problem that the Wrigley office building had in Chicago.
