Hey Brian, thanks for posting, glad to hear from you. The left hand does present its challenges (sub dominate hand). When practicing I make myself do...
Goodness, Dave, quite a post, and I'm nearly out of time before heading off to work. Couple that with a late night at the session and I better be careful of...
It appears that I unintentially started a trend, but that's probably not a bad thing. I should have mentioned I'm located in MD, so I don't know who is around...
I'll be posting a bit more later for the various recent threads, but I had to respond to Dave's posting *immediately*. You don't understand; I've been looking...
Greetings Group, Regarding a Percy Danforth "Mister Bones" DVD: In May of 2005 I asked Lark in the Morning owner, Bill Taylor if "Mister Bones" was available...
I got it on VHS earlier this year. I took it to the library at Emory University and made it into a DVD. It's not that hard if you have a couple of hours...

I really enjoy hearing from you Dave. I found large obsidian on the internet. I have a diamond wet saw to cut it down. I recently bought a sanding machine....
I've been playing around with an idea and have no time to actually do something with it. Perhaps someone else will. I really wanted to make a wireless...
Oh Mike, I love stuff like this. I've used piezo's often for amplification and for triggering. Not sure if you saw that pic of me on the street during the High...
I got it to work with a fm "bug" transmitter. Problem was the LC tuned circuit. I got the fm transmitter and receiver matched frequencies but only if I don't...
Bob, I have to say that I'm mostly technoligically challenged, but your posting of the electric bones photo's inspired me. I have posted a number of pictures...
Great pics. Thanks. They inspire me to go... <<bob envisions himself in Abbeyfeale with blisters between his middle and ring fingers and pleasantly drunk on...
Bob, These are pictures I took off of the Fleadh by the feale web site, so the descriptions were added by them. Its definitely Brown, the e is more typically...
I'm out of control. After a bit more searching around youtube, I found more boning in the world. There are a couple of nice vids of Daniel McCartney. I posted...

By the way, at a recent Irish festival, I discovered that I've been playing bones with some sort of Louisiana grip or something, since I learned it from a...
Michael, almost every Irish play I encountered at Abbeyfeale holds the bones with two fingers between the two bones. I've never heard this as referred to the...
yeah, grip or slip. or perhaps choke hold. Other than that, there is my way and the wrong way. Just kidding. Mike Passerotti Milwaukee ... From: "Michael P....
Stephen, apologies for breaking into your discussion, but I thought it might
