Re. Under Milk Wood. Here's my take on it... in mime. www.youtube.com/davidgarlandjones 'They said it was a play for voices...'
Sixty Years On Did you know that 1st March 2010 is the 60th anniversary of the first public performance of Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood?It was performed by Dylan reading all the parts in Boston where coincidentally the 2010 Dylan Thomas Prize sponsored by University of Wales and supported by the Welsh Assembly Government will be launched today (1st March).The chairman of the prize Prof Peter Stead and Chief Executive Tim Prosser are in the Staes for the launch of the 30,000 ($45,000) prize which is for works by a writer under the age of 30. Previous winners were Rachel Tresize for Fresh Apples in 2006 and US based Vietnamese writer Nam Le for The Boat .From this year the prize will be an annual event and the closing date for entries is 31st April 2010. The winner will be announced at teh end of a week long An Author's Christmas in Wales at the beginning of December. Further details on the Dylan Thomas Prize website.
Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus from Vancouver, Canada, where we are still celebrating a wonderful Olympic experience.I'm sending this as I get ready for our dinner tonight - a catered three-course meal in the Cambrian Hall, home of our Society, with toasts to Canada and Wales. Entertainment will be provided by tenor Jonathan Quick, who is also the Music Director of our Welshmen's Choir. We will all join in the familiar songs, and we will be reading greetings from other societies and friends.March 1st will be a more informal evening in our Red Dragon Pub, in the lower level of the Hall. Cawl Cennin and Welsh Cakes will be served, and there will be enough singing of "hymns and arias" to make Max Boyce proud. We will remember absent friends, and Welsh people everywhere will be in our thoughts.Pob hwyl,Elizabeth

I'm really pleased for being informed about Dr.Karl Jenkins musical works,I just wanted to know what film music has or have been created by him because his name is very familiar to me ,given I'm a movie-addicted.I'm really impressed that he adaptated Stabat Mater because I already have an audio-cd of Stabat Mater by Antonin Dvorak.

Today the 10th Nov we buried a great Welshman a founder member of the NAWCT who lived near orlando Florida, his name Mr John L Thomas..JOhn died from Cancer and had been suffering for a long time..many Welsh across America dealt with John for many Welsh reasons..he will be missed greatly and it would be nice to offer him and his family some recognition for his many many years of service in promoting and bringing Welsh life and culture to America....G-d rest His Welsh Soul...
TRying to get information on the LDS Centers in Wales, 10 of them I believe. Hard to communicate with as they have no email address and only seem to communicate via phone.... Not easy for a stateside person to do! Any ideas as to how genealogy research can be done through these Centers??Richard Floyd
