If you're interested in hearing how my first bodhran sounded, for $10 you
can purchase "Dratsville", an album of traditional music that I recorded
as part of the duo "GreanStalk". The album features my good buddy Jim
Maxwell on guitar, mandola and vocals and myself on Irish flute, tin
whistle, bones and bodhran. Here is what it contains:
1. East at Glendart/The Humours of Corofin (jigs),
2. Tansey's Fancy/Vincent Campbell's (jigs),
3. Blackamutt Jack,
4. Song of the Ghost (lament),
5. The Monaghan Jig,
6. The Night After We Slaughtered Seals,
7. Cooley's Reel/The Tarbolton Lodge,
8. The Flowing Tide/The Morning Star (reels).
Approximate running time: 30 minutes. Currently only available on cassette.
