Jon Nix	BS: Correct usage of a bodhran (29)	RE: BS: Correct usage of a bodhran	01 Feb 08
The vehemence against bodhran and banjo players is mostly expressed by those who cannot play themselves. Both instruments require a lot of skill to play well. Certainly a poorly played bodhran or banjo is painful to hear, but no more so than any other instrument played badly. A well played bodhran is a delightful accompaniment to some (but not all) tunes. Personally, I love Christy Moore's use of the instrument. But then it is always a matter of taste. By the way, we use one to collect the whip-round money each night! Is this a correct usage?
