Thanks for that information Seamus.

Since I remember the Lawrence Welk show, I guess I should retract my previous comment that I have never heard accordian [accordion??] music except for Louisiana Zydeco CDs.

But I KNOW that I've never heard a bodhran played.

From these posts, it seems as if most people don't like the sound.

Why?? Would anyone care to describe what a bodhran sounds like?
