Bodhran, Violin (Growling Old Man)

Yesterday, I went to a swing dance lesson, and then another bodhran lesson with Mance Grady. I decided I'm going to get a bodhran, but I think I'm going to go for the full $540 edition. Unfortunately, I don't really have the money for it. My dad chipped in, and if I combine my birthday money and a couple more weeks of paychecks, I'll have the cash to do it. Yay, drums!

Andrew Grover taught me the song, Growling Old Man, more than a year ago. I've played it, and played it, but now, I'm starting to vary the 'A' section. I'm switching the note patterns, using triplet scales instead of alternating two notes, and changing the note rhythms. It's wonderful.
