Thread Name: when should a bodran be used
Subject: RE: Folklore: when should a bodran be used
Did I miss something - did no-one mention "as a trampoline" (Ok - with shoes ON for the completeness of the joke)

I have had people nearly sit on mine because being red it can be mistaken the padding on a stool if put down like that for a moment, which begs the question about the bar. As my dear mother used to say in such circumstances - "comfortable in a funny sort of way".

Answer to draw fire away from the massed melodeon players when the jokes start flying. (the Banjo player can look after himself)
