Subject: Ger - ReGenesis News
I've been watching ReGenesis since the beginning, and recommending it to
people here in Toronto--so it's great to think that I can now recommend it
to people in the States as well. It's sort of SF, since the science behind
the research institute is so cutting edge as to be extrapolative, even
though the series is set more or less in the present day.
GWD is only in Season Three (now almost finished its first run); but he
actually appears in most of its episodes. He's not playing one of the
researchers at NorBAC. His character is a rather nasty American politician
who holds the purse strings over them--and he makes a very plausible,
manipulative villain out of the part. Reminds me a bit of LaCroix at times,
actually.

Also, you might be able to get a copy of the videotape of Ger in the
Stratford production of the musical "Boys From Syracuse" in which he
sings and dances and wears a very short toga. <weg>

You bet! He's Welsh. Does a fish swim?
Seriously, the Welsh have stubbornly held onto their language for centuries in
the face of English persecution
by singing. The English might make them hesitate to speak their native tongue
in school, in shops, on the
train, but in their churches they were free to speak and sing Welsh. The
country is famous for eisteddfods--
big festivals of poetry and song in which people compete in many different
categories. GWD's father was, for
many years, the pastor of Dewi Sant in Toronto, the only (I think)
Welsh-speaking church in Canada. So of course
he is familiar with the Welsh hymn-singing tradition. GWD performed in _The
Boys from Syracuse_ (with
Colm Fiore as the other "boy") back in the 80's. He was also in _The
Fantastics_. And he sings along with
one of his songs on his CD, available through the GWDFC site.
A study was done on British school children's singing ability. It turned out
that Welsh children, on the
whole, sang better than English school children, regardless of how well singing
was taught in their schools.
They chalked it up to cultural expectations. Welsh parents expect their
children to sing and to sing out
and to sing well. And so they do.

By any chance, does anyone on this list still keep in touch with
Felicia Olivier, Vaquera, awesome writer and VaqMadre of War 11? She
fell off my radar quite a while ago, and I was hoping that someone
here might have word of her.
