        I wasn't aware of this connection.  Didn't some ill fate also
befall Alex Harvey.  I remember seeing the sensational Alex Harvey band
in about '72 with Alex as front man.  But a few years later they were
calling themselves the SAHB band or some sort and he was missing.

        I knew about the Roman connection but not about the Welsh.
Are you sure that is correct?  My first wife used to call me "Martian"
