Yes it's true...Frank Lloyd Wright was a Welshman (just like most everybody significance else, I am starting to think!).
Anyway the Welsh was on his mother's side; Wright's original name was Frank Lincoln Wright, or something like that, but then his middle name was changed to Lloyd to honor his Welsh ancestry!
Yep...we get everywhere!
I laughed with delight when I saw that, SirFurry...loved it!
It's a strange song, SirFurry...I looked at the liner notes, and also the comments...very meaningful to some people, I note...
I did not know who he was.
Frank Lloyd Wright lived 1867-1959, Kninjanin...but still today, probably every school child in America knows his name. This house is probably the most famous home he ever designed -- it is called "Falling Water."
The people asked him to design their home with a view of the creek, so he designed that home to stand right over the waterfall!
I hope the creek that fed that waterfall never flooded!
Never thought of that...although I am intrigued by his work, this house I do not care for...ruins a pretty creek.
"... his middle name was changed to Lloyd to honor his Welsh ancestry!"
I wonder if he knew how to pronounce Lloyd correctly, with the cat's hiss...?
yes I wondered that too...Worried over it, actually...
Even the average Welsh speaker doesn’t do that..but we should.
We all say Lloyd ...loyd!
It must be that damned English influence.
Do the Welsh have an equivalent to the Scottish 'Sassenach'?
Not that I know of.
SFA, I remember from one of your historic videos...the name 'Llewellyn" got pronounced with the L sound for the first coupling of L's, but then the second pair of L's got the kitty hiss!
Yep.
