1. Played a lot of bodhrán today. Rhythm hand is getting more reliable and in control, starting to move my other hand around more on the skin, playing with tone, moving both hands around the area of the drum a lot more. I think I'm gonna spend about a week fucking around with that (and maybe some different cipíní) the next week rather than move on to the next lesson
2. I've named my bodhrán Bebo. Yes it was a social media site, but before that, it was the name of a Queen in Celtic mythology. A tiny one who fell into a bowl of porridge. I like the bowl association with the shape of the bodhrán, and it's sort of onomatopoeic.
I'm very happy with this name
3. Bubs had a lot of fun hitting the bodhrán today. Lol, me with tissues cleaning up his slobber the moment it touched the precious drumskin. He's got a cold and a pair of teeth coming through at the same time.
