Thank you for the history lesson. I visited Wales twice now staying in the Snowdonia area; what a beautiful country. Can’t wait to return. Who needs the luck of the Irish when you have the luck of the Dragon! I totally agree with Shirley, “24 Hours” gets better every time I play it! Thanks TJ for all you have given us.

Thank you for the information on a day of celebration for the wonderful Welsh people including Sir Tom and his family. Tomorrow is a day of celebration for Sir Tom and his wife – their wedding anniversary. Congratulations to both. Also, I’d like to say thanks to Sir Tom and all people who helped with his new CD, 24 Hours. For me,it grows better every time I play it. SAFE TRAVELING TO ALL. See you soon!

Roxanne: That song was recorded November 11, 1964. In recognition of that event, in November 2004 at Foxwoods, representatives of JonesTheVoice.com — led by site moderator/founder Keith Cooper — presented Tom with a beautiful 100+ page hard cover book written by fans about his impact on fans.

By the way, all these significant dates are noted on the TJI.com Fan Calendar. The 2010 edition will be available for ordering in September.

I didn’t know all that information about St. David’s Day or about the 44th anniversary of Tom’s first #1. I saw something on another message board but it was not as complete. As always, you are the best. 1 question. When did he record It’s Not Unusual?

DL: Well, if the dragon is a good luck symbol, maybe it will ward off the terrible weather in Boston today and tomorrow. Hope everyone going to and from the show (including Tom and his group) are safe and sound. Some stations reporting an expected blizzard.

Oops! Don’t start me on Dragons! My screen name is no mere chance
The Welsh Dragon is also linked to the legend of Myrddin (Merlin),google “Dinas Emrys” if you’re interested.
Fascinating stories and that accounts for a good part of my love of Wales, Dragons are my life
