- About Me:
- Married almost 10 years to a beautiful woman, UnChong, who's given me 2 great boys: "Evan" and "Owen Glyndwr"!! I'm a 37 year old attorney, practicing law for over 10 years in Hanford, Ca (35 miles south of Fresno, in the central San Joaquin Valley)... I'm Welsh and love all things Welsh! My grandfather and great grandfather were born and raised in Penisarwaun in Northwest Wales, near Caernarfon. Although I'm USA-born, my dad is a full "Welshman" and my mom is a bit welsh (the rest Irish) with some "Morgans" in her family tree.
In my local community, I also serve as President of the Kings County Bar Association, and serve on the board of directors for the Kings County Fair, and the local high school foundation/scholarship board.
In my limited spare time, I'm the lead-singer and frontman of three rock, cover bands: "Dead Sexy," "Chick Magnet,"and "Sexbomb" (a cover/tribute band to Sir Tom Jones) . . . and all my friends call me "Fatty" (long story).

ronchito said… - thank you for the warm welcome, william. no luck finding brains yet but i have found a few beer distributors in the northeastern usa that have tomos watkins cwrw braf available (two in MA and two in MD). i'm hoping to partake very soon as i took my first trip to wales in august and have been craving many of the beers i tried over there.
my great-grandfather's name was E.D. Lloyd -- i have lots of sheet music for pieces that he wrote and apparently my uncle has a letter sent to him from none other than David Lloyd George thanking him for a piece that I believe he wrote in his honor (or something to that effect). he was born in Blaenau Ffestiniog but conducted most of his musical activities in the Bangor area until eventually making his way to the States. my mother knows how to play many of his pieces and, were it not for a horrifically out-of-tune piano, she'd play them more often. they're simple (most are meant for intermediate learners) but very catchy.
best,
chris

I recently finished getting my certs in Windows Vista as well as my CompTIA A+ IT Tech. which only means that I am now certifiably dangerous around computers. hehe Glad to have you back

Huw Davies said… - I seem to remember there were quite a few Parry's around Penisarwaun. Guy's I hung around with were Jonni Willy ( father of around 9 kids! ), one of his son's Eric, a very drunk Scotsman called Dave ( came down from Scotland for an international. Got as far as Caernarfon, got drunk and lost and decided to stay!)
I worked quite a bit over the border. When I'd start a new job I loved spelling out the name of the village to English people - no one would believe me!

- Who is your father in Penisarwaun? I lived there for 5 years back in the 80's and still have friends there. The club was still going then and I have very fond memories of some great nights there!
