Hello Everyone, Like many of you, I play spoons as well as bones. For years I've only had one pair of spoons, metal, ordinary dessert spoons with masking tape...
I too have a pair of these. Excellent quality & sound. I use them on a Loop machine (Headrush E2) then overlay bones and metal spoons to back my performances. ...
Adele, Unfortunately I can't help you here, although there are some spoons players on this list, perhaps you might get more response on the folk percussion...

Hi Jonathan: Thank you! I'd love to interview more bones players via internet phone for our podcasts - are you interested? Thanks! Jennifer ... From: Jonathan...
Jennifer, I have Google Talk downloaded, although I've never used it yet. But I'm certainly willing! Give me a week or two, though-- I'm swamped right now ...
Hi Jonathan: Yes, in a couple of weeks would be great. I'll get the particulars and be ready by then. Thanks! Jennifer ... From: Jonathan Danforth To:...
Check out this picture I found wandering around the Internet. Dated 1882, by Harpers Weekly illustrator William Ludwell Sheppard, titled "The Cortet (i.e....

My dad had a set of rhythm bones that were connected. They looked something like a rustic, simple pair of wooden tongs. They were black and wooden. I would...
generally speaking, I think this is pretty unusuall. I don't know about the rest of the group but in all my years I have never seen bones connected as you...
... I've never seen that. I do recall seeing a pair that were loosely connected by a cord that ran through holes drilled in the top ends. The ends weren't tied...
I think I've seen advertisements for connected bones for "parlor minstrel shows" from catalogs 100 years or more ago. Steve, you've got a few of those pages--...
Thanks for your response. I'm beginning to think I could be a little nutty, since no one seems to know about "connected" bones. Maybe I am remembering them...
Jon and Naomi, I do have some copied pages of an old catalog and don't show anything like you described naomi. Dave Boyle who makes the black bart bones does...
I'm wondering if they might be some sort of adaptation or variant of castanets? They're connected. Just a thought ... Tom Callinan [Non-text portions of...

I played recently and a 92 year old man joined in with his bones. They were held together with elastic bands as he had lost the strength to hold. He found the...
... Maybe not nutty; maybe they are just very rare, even one-of-a-kind. Does he remember where/how he got them? There might be a good story behind them. Tim...
Hi, I've been letting the bones slide for a while, and I've been playing with my concertina and other things. I was thinking of going to Ireland, though, and...
Sorry, folks. These things make me so mad! I'll think (when I see that they've joined the list) that it's another eager bones player, and then realize (once...
... Thanks Jonathan. I moderate several lists and I've been forced to set them so that all new members are moderated. Once a person posts a legitimate message...
Hello all, I'm a novice bones player, and I've got various videos, etc. They are all very helpful. However, I'm wondering if there any bones players in the...
Michael, Thanks for joining our little group here. I've just looked through the membership of the Rhythm bones society and found no members in Colorado. If you...
... I'm in Colorado, but I'm a neophyte bones player myself and hardly qualified to be giving lessons. I've never had a lesson myself, and hardly play, so I ...
thanks for the thought anyway Michael. I had another reply from the Bodojo list of someone who is also learning the bones but is in contact with some ...
Hello, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any solo bones recordings, in any genre, and if so, whether the item is available anywhere? Also, it would be...
