In this section, before I sing the song, I speak some nonsense as a background to it.

For several St David’s Days Huliganov became a Russian singing Welsh songs. This is the first of them, Myfanwy.

Early commentators made very encouraging remarks, one saying it made her father cry. I hope that was encouraging…

This lesson talks about names and their diminuative forms. It finishes with a joke and a song – Huliganov certainly does it his way.

Other remarks:

One of my viewers, Uptodat, asked for a Don Williams number, but when I heard this I knew it was one I wanted to dedicate to Elena, and you will see some of our wedding photos in a gallery.

Thanks to my Hawaiian and Californian buddy, Ken Bankston, a super musician, provided the guitar and a backing vocal for this. I also play the mouth organ a little in it, and translate one verse in Russian.

Quote of the clip: “I’m always hungry”
