Thread Name: Annoying Bodhran, what to do?
Subject: RE: Annoying Bodhran, what to do?
John, I'll be honest, I support you in this matter. I agree with you, completely. I did not read every single post, but from what I read I gathered that everyone was agreeing with you, but not for the right reason. I think asking him not to play on a particular song is perfectly acceptable, but I do not think that it should be expected that every person should take turns playing solo at a session. This is not what I would expect and not what anyone should expect. I guess there are other gatherings where this is perfectly acceptable, but if you walk into a session and say..every body be quiet, its my turn, listen to me...I would think you were in the wrong. You'll notice I didn't post any reply until the thread had grown, and that is mainly because I do agree with how you handled and are planning to handle this specific type of situation. I just take exception to the several posts saying any sort of playing along is rude.
