Tell us something.: I play the first flute Jon Cochran ever made but haven't been very active on the board the last 9-10 years. Life happens I guess...I owned a keyed M&E flute for a while and I kind of miss it.

Well, Ballybog was a huge hit last night I had several people come up to me afterwards and thank me for the wonderful tunes. They want us back soon to play some more and the crowd really enjoyed it. They enjoyed the name too, thanks all :)

Ballybog, eh? I hope you lived up to the image and only talked to each other in short grunts and were suitably mud covered.

Next time we get together I'll bring an mp3 recorder or something. They videotaped it last night, might be able to turn that into a video file. I'll keep you informed.

What a great name "Ballybog" and great to hear that you were well received last night.

It's Bollywood - Bloo not bollybog! You're crossing your continents. :lol:

Hey, my great grandfather died in a ballybog! (ducking and running for cover)

Seriously though, it sounds like a good time was had by all. Well done, Michael!

Michael,

Right on! Glad the gig went well and I hope there were no protests from the Bog Defense League! ;)

I would like to hereby lay claim to the name "Snakebite"! :)--
