rejuvenatedTook my usual trip down to Kieran's for the Wednesday night session after the baseball and before basketball got started. Got there early in hopes of running into the other bodhran player that frequents the session and comparing notes. No such luck this week, however.
A good gathering of folk with a visitor from Leeds, England who was in town for a conference of some kind. Very different vibe than the music parties I attend most often. No real pattern to the playing but some definate leaders to the group. When we were without one of the normal leaders last week, the music definately suffered. No one bold enough to start something up that the others will latch on to.
Fun music with flashes brilliance. Wish I could stay longer but I get in a good couple of hours of play before I have to go to work. Enough to get the muscles of my arms just tired enough. My playing is becoming stronger and more confident; got told the other week that I've become too good for my drum. Quite the compliment. I've been planning on getting a tunable bodhran for a while now but thought they were more expensive than I've now been told. I'll need to track one down before too long.
Got good sleep after work yesterday so no danger of clowns this evening. Something nice about going to work after a couple of pints of Guinness as well. Definately in a better mood for work.
