Subject: RE: 'Doctor Price' Song in DT -- history?
That's the tune in the DT, too, Murray... I think it's a bit presumptuous of Mr. Tems to say he wrote the music to this particular song, even if he did tinker with the lyrics...

The biographical detail that tickles me the most, that I really want to be true is that he lay in his deathbed drinking champange and singing... That's how I want to go. I don't drink alchohol, but I do want to go out in a celebratory mood.

Oh, and can some kind Mudcatter please give a non-Welsh speaker an English phonetic spelling of "Llantrisant" and a translation of 'Ach a fi'?

Thanks so much!

... oh, and the DT sems to be down, this morning. I went back and checked the lyrics through the Digitrad Mirror site, here.
