You all have given me a great idea. I'm going to start taking a tambourine to Irish sessions. Now if I could get to Ireland and find where Peter hangs out. MUAAHAHAHAHA.

Maybe a few extras in case someone doesn't have an instrument.

Thanks a bunch you guys are the cat's pajamas.

EGGZ are fine with me at a session, if they aren't over done, just over easy.

But a few years ago someone showed up with one of these and it was the most annoying thing and the sad thing was that this guy was serious.

Last time I was out at faire working the Maypole dance, we once had a really drunk lady enthusiastically beating along on a tambourine, very loudly and totally off the beat.

EJ Jones (who was playing with us for that particular gig) piped his way over to her, mentioned how great of an instrument it was she had, and asked if he could beat on it. She gushed and said yes of course, and he spent the rest of the maypole keeping good time for us on it. He's so mucy more of a gentleman than I am..I could learn a lot from him.

Kazoos. Kazoos are the ticket. But you better darn well know the tunes before you play them.

When I was in grade school, I was so awful--you'll perhaps remember that four music teachers refused to teach me on four different instruments--that in music class when they passed out instruments, they always gave me the triangle. Without the little stick.

(Me): "But it's supposed to have a stick."

(Teacher): "Oh, no, dear! Not this kind! You just shake it . . . "

That poor man is probably musically impaired and can't help himself!

Believe me, this would have been one of those times. There must have been getting on for a hundred pairs of spoons all playing differently. To our eternal credit we didn't shut them up but just soldiered on regardless. I have to admit that it has fostered a sort of 'band of brothers' feeling amongst those of us that were there. Just ask Patrick (Wjndbag).

Hey Rasp. Long time no read.

I heard a jug-band awhile back that used a kazoo, washtub bass and a jug. It sounded kind of cool they way they did it.

I see one could have a lot of fun inflicting pain with the big clip or the probe, but what's that trianguar thing for?

rasp and fly:

Juggernaut Jug Band. They do a fantastic cover of "Stairway to Heaven" with nose flutes, slide whistles, etc.......

Oh - and Noah did "Whiskey 'For Breakfast" on the nose flute for the school talent show when he was 9 years old.
