Neddy
I'm a bodhran player from Tallahassee FL and have been abusing goat skins for the last 19 years or so. Currently playing an O'Kane, band tunable. Originally forced to work long hours to support leisure habits...I'm retired from everything except playing ITM, sinking empty wine bottles in St. George Sound from Time Bandit and, imbibing the occasional Powers.
Tallahassee is a fine place for trad music and we're blessed with many excellent musicians. I've played with several local groups and currently play with a happy little session type band, formed 8 years ago with my friend and fine fiddler, Mr. Brian, called, The Ned Devines. We sponsor a session every 2d and 4th Sunday at Finnegan's Wake.
Tripping to Ireland is pretty much my hobby and I've had grand times playing sessions in Dublin, Sligo, and in the wilds of CO Leitrim. My teacher and bodhran mentor, E. McCormack from Ballintogher, several years ago claimed she can do no more damage and has released me on my own recognizance. My finest hour...or, was it actually 60 minutes... playing at the Craggy Island parochial house for my favorite cleric, Fr. Jack Hackett.
