I had heard a rumor that Paddy Keenan is a closet bodhran player.... who among us has any information on this....I must dispell this rumor!

That's attrocious.... I am disgusted! :roll:

Patrick.

I've seen him play the banjo. We all have our dark sides.

It may simply be a rumor, but I have heard from a friend that said a friend of hers had a cousin whose sister's boyfriend's auntie saw him play a kazoo...make of it what you will...I don't intend to get any rumors started here.......but......

I wouldn't let Paddy hear you talking like that.... he'll whoop yer ass!

Now Patrick ...stop being such a Bodhranphobe! I play bodhran and I bet Paddy does to...why ,lets just admit it, we all play bodhran when others arent around and we all enjoy it!
How much you want bet Paddy is a closet bodhran player....perhaps you would put your pipes on it???

You should see Davey Spillane play the Fender Jazz or the Sax.....some man I tell you and i ain't jokin either!!!!

Don't know about the bodhran, but Paddy is apparently also a closet sax player. Word has it he also owns an accordion.

He played geetar in a skiffle band or something when he was a teenager.

Hello, my name is Joseph, and...and...I'm a bodhran-a-holic

I was excited by the Subject; I thought that Paddy had sat on one. Oh well...

There's the Dark Side, and then there's ... Permanent Night!

Come into the light, Joseph! Give up yer aul bodhrán ways and put your hands to God's purpose, i.e pipes! You cayun be saved!

Seriously, though, I love the thump of a good bodhrán. Only those with no sense of rhythm need be afraid of them.

Uilleann bagpipes - (noun) - A musical instrument consisting of a combination of a brassiere, whoopie cushion and kazoo.

Rhythm? Rhythm? Personally, I've never had a need for rhythm.

In the right hands, and tastefully played, the bodhran is a great addition to a set of tunes. I think I would grow tired of hearing it on every tune, but that does depend on who's playing it.

I heard a rumor that David Power, a well known bodhranphobe, actually enjoyed being backed by Paddy Keenan on Bodhran???? Did ya ever notice that Tony , of this forum, always has a photo of just about everything we talk about....Does anyone have proof of the Power/Keenan bodhran affair?? Tony???
