When I was at university I used to have to search out his old 33 rpm records. I loved his voice so much. I remember I used to have to use headphones in my dorm room because I drove my dormmate nuts listening to him so much. He's got a little poem called "In My Craft or Sullen Art," that never failed to make me tear up.His favorite poem of mine is "In Country Sleep." It's a song (his cadences make it a song) to his young daughter who is at the age where she's afraid of the dark, and he tries to convince her that there is nothing in nature to be afraid of: "The country is holy: O bide in that country kind." Eventually the poem widens and it is the poet who is trying to convince himself that existence is holy and death itself is nothing to be afraid of, it being an essential part of life, without which existence itself would make no sense. This is, of course, the main poetic theme of all great poets. "Think of John Donne's "Death Be Not Proud." "Under Milk Wood" is a lovely play for voices, and I used to get a couple bottles of Löwenbräu beer and listen to the play during summer break from university. I broke up with a girl once because she thought the play was crap and I was dumb for liking it so much. (Too bad I didn't meet you at university. We sound compatible.) Quite Early One Morning is the precursor of Under Milk Wood and in its abbreviation makes it easier (and at this point in my life) more enjoyable to listen to. Right now my favorite story of Thomas' to listen to is called "A Story (The Outing)." I never thought that anyone could read Thomas better than Thomas but I prefer the rendition that Philip Madoc does. His version is just perfect and he does the voices of all the characters better than Thomas does. On the other hand, for a perfect Thomas story where every voice is character-perfect, you can't beat Thomas' version of his "A Visit to Grandpa's." I've taught Thomas' work to students for 30 years and I've gotten more positive feedback than negative. He's alive and well in the brains of university students.

This may be a bit too long for some (13 minutes), but if you are wrinkling and drying in the slanting rays of the sun, you will likely sail away with this voice and song and drift and ebb and loose yourself and find that you are again the person you once were and are.

If this is working class Welsh then they certainly have beautiful intonation and rhythm.
