Anyone care to join in the fracas?? |

I sweat and toil, With grease and oil, and still the tones not right. My bodhran is too tight. My bodhran is too tight. I've tried neetsfoot, And oily soot, My hands they look a fright. It's such a bummer. I've tried each thing that anyone's suggested. And for a drummer, It's hard to play a drum that sounds congested. And I've protested. My bodhran is too tight. My bodhran is too tight. Since I can't play It any way. I'll do it just for spite! My bodhran is too tight. My bodhran is too tight. The fiddler's mad. That's too damnn bad! I'm gonna play all night! troll

('Cept it wasn't a pen knife). I think the suggestion is to replace the tippler with a knife. Blessings, Barbara |

About a year or so ago, so had her (very expensive) bow sticking out in the aisle of the pub we were at for a session. I was wearing baggy pants, didn't see it, and it caught on my pants. SNAP! It broke in half! I never even felt it catch. She's been a little sore about it ever since.:) |
