I've had a problem too, not so much with posts being lost, but with being unable sometimes to view the latest posts. It seems I'm only able to access an older version of this site at times where the most recent posts are from weeks ago. Then the next day, everything's back to normal. ????????????

There have been some server issues over the last couple days that are likely causing you not to see more recent posts. Hopefully that is resolved now.

Yes, I was just about to update you as I just got a message from Macfive... our posts aren't irreplaceable, are they? We can continue normally.

I was listening to some Welsh on Radio Cymru last night and thought that perhaps our language sounds like one long song! I think Welsh is very good for lyrics as it is such a rhythmic language, but perhaps I'm biased?

Yes, Siarls. You are awfully biased as much as myself! biggrin.gif I do think Welsh flows like music. But I noticed some dialects sound more musical than others. I think northern Welsh is most musical. They sound like they're singing even when they're angry!

About our lost posts. Diolch Siarls and Aediwen. These things do happen now and then of course. Not that my post was so great that I don't feel like re-writing. I wrote it when I was so moved by Siwsann George's song the other day. Now I don't have the same passion.

But I'll try again. One of the 3 CDs I bought from Sain was Mabsant. (Their shipping is unbelievably cheap, only £1 for international air.) I heard a lot about the late Siwsann George. I don't agree with some of her beliefs but her singing is amazing, especially Myfanwy. You'd think this song ought to be sang by men but I had goose bumps when I heard hers the first time. Robin Huw Bowen's harp is beautiful too.

She sings in part Japanese in one of the songs. I wish someone had coached her with the pronunciation. The words are simple and easily learned. I wince every time she mispronounce them. But dim ots.

The other two CDs are by Hergest and Techwen Ifan. (Yes, I do like music from 70's and 80's!) Hergest is almost like Welsh Beach Boys. Actually one of the songs indeed is about relaxing on the beach! I have this CD on when I do exercise. A surprise bonus was the attached lyric sheet. Techwen is always pleasant to listened to. His political songs have such soft tone. I must buy his song book.
