instrument creep!! What a concept - I think I can remember when there was just one guitar -- now there's three (one up at Steve's) a banjo, hammered dulicmer, bodhran, 3 sets of bones, at least 25 different percussion type things (serious and crazy) siren whistles, a fiddle (currently on loan) and then Steve brings his along every week and sometimes leaves them for weeks -- so add a fiddle, viola, and concertina. he has a mandolin at his place as well.

if we're rehearsing, you can add two other people and a 6-string guitar, 12-string guitar, another banjo, mandolin, cittern, another bodhran, harmonicas, a myriad of penny whistles - and I know I have forgotten something.

ah yes, the minivan for transport -- of course that doesn't fit in the living room. Quite an obstacle course - especially for my dog Sammy.

Yes, instrument creep!! They just multiply when you have your back turned!!
