Playing in 7/8 time on the Bodhran
Lucy Randall demonstrates how to play in the irregular time signature of 7/8 on the Irish Bodhran, something seldom heard! She shows the three variants of 7/8 in a simple, clear way, then demonstrates how they are used in a tune with harmonica player Brendan Power. Check out Lucy's instructional book/CD on her MySpace site: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?...
