Drat and tarnation.

I missed out on something really cool. Being Welsh, these kinds of things interest me. Forget that it would have been a 4-5 hour drive for a service in Iowa. I would have had a lot of fun singing some old Welsh Hymns- even if I would have probably fudged a lot of the pronunciations.

Exerpt from the article:

quote:
The resonant sounds of four-part choral singing are one of the cornerstones of Welsh culture.

In the Iowa County town of Rewey, southwest of Madison, the Welsh Gymanfa Ganu (pronounced gi-MAHN-fah GAHN-ee) tradition drew choral singers of Welsh descent from around the state for its annual summer hymn sing on June 11.
