I have been playing ITM for 25 years. My instruments are wooden flute (I have an 1882 8-key, and two Casey Burns flutes), whistle, bodhran, and bones.
Been to Ireland and Scotland to play with the locals. I do gigs more than sessions these days, but not a lot - maybe three or four times a year. On St. Patrick's I may do as many as three gigs in one day.
After all these years, my collection of tunes is still modest, mostly because I'm picky about what I learn. I like tunes that stand out, or I won't go to the trouble to memorize them. A friend of mine refers to the bodhran as the instrument for the repertoire-challenged. There's more than a little truth to that.
