Thread Name: Annoying Bodhran, what to do?
Subject: RE: Annoying Bodhran, what to do?
John J said...I suggest that playing a bodhran with virtually EVERY song (mostly unaccompanied) is inappropriate.

I know what you MEANT to say. That's why I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. I'm going to attend one of your sessions some day and bring all three of my Hrans and my bones too. But I will play when asked.

I forget who said it but, "Hran" is NOT "Star Trekkie". I am a Hranner and proud of it. Hey, there's another use for a Hran... in an episode of Star Trek.... the Enterprise goes into a time warp and is set upon by a spaceship with Celtic knotwork all over it, shaped like a Hran... every time the Captain tries to communicate with the bandits, they play Hran along to his message and it drives the crew mad. They even beam Flatley aboard and he taps the crap out of their warp drive.

Flatley ? No, that's getting toooo weird.
