poor old bodhran players. To go back to the original thread - I play the bodhran and I laugh loudest at those jokes. the only survivors will be rats, cockroaches and those with a sense of humour. Now... no-one has got at unaccompanied singers yet - can you tell me why they are always standing out on the pavement (sidewalk for the US)? well... they can never find the key and when they do they can never come in at the right time. (yes - i sing unaccompanied)
