GUEST, Threadie Can clarinet be a folk instrument? (39) RE: BS: Can clarinet be a folk instrument? 16 Apr 00


If Keith Donald could play jigs and reels on the saxophone on the first Moving Hearts album (1981), then you can do it with a clarinet, or oboe, or anything else that tickles your fancy.

Anecdote:

A well known fiddle player was sitting in a session in Gary Pepper's pub in Feakle along with some others.
In the door comes a long haired gentleman with a long hollow piece of wood. He asks the well respected fiddler, as a matter of courtesy, could he join the session.

After sitting beside him for about thirty minutes, the fiddle player turns to the young gentleman and asks him

"What do you call that then?
"It's a Didgeridoo" says the visitor.
Paddy turned around as quick as a flash, and said

"Well didgeri don't"
