oh-ho! yes yes yes, Helen, come into my lair you pretty thing... once you start singing along, dearie, you will never ever want to stop...

for myself, i resolve to tune my harp and play the damn f***ing thing at least once a week. %*@>!!! so frustrating!

ditto hammered dulcimer.

i also resolve to quit feeling like a fool when i pick up a bodhran. i understand now why bodhran players have such low self esteem. those things are deceptively hard to play! i'm lucky if i can keep a steady beat, let alone use the top end of the tipper for fancy little rolls... but darnit, it's not because i'm not a real musician. it only seems that way.
