Les,

Why do you keep calling bodhrans 'bods'?

The 'd' is not sounded.

There was an infamous session in Donegal which featured just two guitarists and a bodhran-thumper. Visiting musicians were always puzzled by the fact that it was probably the only session in Ireland which didn't feature any tunes.
