Tucson Irish Jam: Bodhran
Don't feel badly if you have no idea what a 'bodhrán' (pronounced BOH-ron, to rhyme with moron) is. I didn't know either until a year ago when I decided to play one. To explain, a bodhrán is a small Celtric frame drum played vertically instead of horizontally, usually with a single stick called a tipper, but also sometimes with the knuckles. If you're now curious to see real bodhráns in action, come to the Tuesday evenings Irish jam in the back room at Bob Dobbs on Tucson Blvd. and 6th St., from 6:30 on, and/or enjoy the Sunday afternoon Irish music jam at the Aulde Dubliner from 4:00 to 7:00. Read more about the bodhrán and Tucson Irish Jam Scene.
