A diffuclt one and I have made my comments in previous threads relating to session etiquite etc and am not going to go through all that again. I do however wonder about Barry Finn's advice. This is fine if the player(s) have respect for the "senior" bodhran player but I have known a person giving a fellow bodhran player being thought of as being jelouse because the clueless player really thinks that he is the best in the session, have seen stupid petty rivalrys creep in...Jon
