Guess What I bought??????
Yes........ today I got myself a Bodhran (Bow run), or frame drum. I have wanted one of these for ever, and today was the day. I am hoping that over the next 6 months I will be able to learn how to play both the Bodhran and the Tin Whistle (Penny Whistle). It has been in my mind for some time to get into busking. I love singing and have developed a fondness for singing balads, this is now also encompassing a small amount of folk music. Celtic music is a favourite of mine, so I am leaning towards that sort of thing.
Anyway it is going to be fun experimenting with these new instruments. Hopefully they will fit on the boat along with my guitar and my craft stuff. I think I will more likely drive Paul up the wall with all of my drumming and whistling. Check this young man out, He basically taught himself. I think He is great.
