Thanks, Fortunato. I'm pretty psyched. I'm going for a music festival. Among numerous other bands, I'll get to see Little Feat and Kansas... guaranteed not to disappoint.

Branwen, you are going to the hallowed land of BeauSoleil and crawfish etoufee. I wish I could go with you and we would dance the two-step and drink red wine and, oh my I'm overcome... (have a great time!)

Would love to come and see you tonight, Jed, but I'm on a plane to New Orleans tomorrow, and haven't done any of the things I need to do before I go (e.g. packing, taking the dog to the boarder, arrange for a rental car, well, anything productive, really) and so will be frantically attempting to accomplish these things today and this evening.

Hate to miss it, it's sure to be a great show as always!

sorry to miss! It's a hard thing to juggle, playing as much as we do. We are at the Sons of Hermann tonight with Sara Hickamn and Brave New Combo. Should be a good show. We're up from 7 to 8.

We WILL be back to YOBB soon, though. I am at O'Dwyer's on Nov 1, but finish there at 11, so I may be able to make it YOBB very late.

first of november...middle of october.. so I'm a little fuzzy on the whole "time" thing. Guess I'd have been sitting in the parking lot for weeks wondering "When they gonna open this place?!?" Ah, well, that just means that I get more session tonight.

Mimosa, I'm near 635/I35. If you need that ride, call me at 214-334-6001 by 6:30 or so

Jed's gig isn't 'til the first of November. Don't beat me, but I have to miss again tonight. We're playing at the Sons Of Hermann Hall tomorrow night, plus another festival this weekend...Blah, blah, blah. When this touring is over, we'll be back on schedule.

BTW: Eammon's Kitchen (me, Jed,and Himself)will be playing at YOBB on Oct. 27th for a Halloween party, if anyone's interested.

I'll be going and would be glad to help out. I don't get off of work until 7:00 but I'm trying to sneak out early.

I'm thinking of dropping by to see Jed at his gig for a bit. I usually leave the session very late, but have been under the weather lately, so will leave earlier than my norm... probably 10-ish, 11 at the latest.

I'm fairly flexible in all the above, so let me know if this works for you.

Well, Fortunato, RedCelt and others who will be making the Nov 1 session, maybe y'all could come out to O'Dwyers for the first hour. I am there from 7 to 11. The YOBB session starts at 8 or so if that's not too early, you might be able to o both. O'Dwyers is a new pub in Ft Worth just off 360 by 6 Flags. I am playing their opening night.

Just a thought.

(It's not a session, but it is a local event)... just wanted to make sure that everyone is aware of the Bedford Celtic fest this weekend.

If work doesn't kill me before then, I'll be out there.

don't know, Jeff...

I was wondering is everyone is planning on showing up next week.... Seven Nations is playing at the Emerald Mist that night, and I wondered who was planning on skipping the music session to go see them instead....

I'll probably end up a loser in the pub by myself again....

Hey.. does anyone know if Albert will be doing his famous Bodhran workshops at the Bedford festival this weekend?

Rich,

It's a real pub in Ft. Worth, with a great friendly session. Amateur that I am, I'm well balanced by some good (and tolerant) musicians.

I went with one of Alberts 16" drums to wean myself off of my 18" Paki learner model. I had thought that I had awfully big paws to be stuffing into a 14", but I completely agree on the sound. After listening to both, I can say that it's entirely a matter of personal preference.

*Sigh* It's the off week for the every-other week session... rats! I've been living at work since last wednesday and could use a night of yeling my voice to shreds...(it's not much, but it's what I call singing...)

I'll be looking forward to seeing all and inflicting my music again soon,

Jeff

This is gonna sound dumb but does this thread refer to a real session or is it a virtual on a la Mudcat Tavern sorta thing?


Either way, Branwen, I'd recommend the 14" Albert bodhrán. It takes a little getting used to at first, but once you do, you can do anything with it that you can with a 16" drum. What's more, it seems like the tone control is more dramatic. You have to move your left hand more to achieve the same amount of tone variation with a 16" bodhrán. Don't get me wrong, either size of Albert's bodhráns is a fine drum. The 14" is just a personal preference. of mine. I use a foot stool for my left foot. This raises up the playing surface, while still allowing me the smaller drum.

Slán,
Rich

Missed you all, and I'm such a jam junkie, I kept looking at the clock and wondering, "So, I bet they've played 'Roddy McCorley' by now." And "I might have time to squeeze in a song or two if I leave NOW," at 10:00 PM. Once touring is over, I know I'll be heading west again! Keep a seat in the corner warm for me! (Well, on second thought....)

As far as the Bull and Bush goes tonight , alas , I cannot make it. I have a meeting to go to and my Mrs will be arriving at the airport from out of town. I'll do my best to be there next time.

here's a site that can give you local venues and who's playing where. I'm woefully ignorant of html coding, so here's the link the hard way...

They'll have a link for venues
