Glad you do.
@Marionville Good voices, & that drumming is fascinating.
@Lilac-JadeCanada Yes…the bodhran. It takes quite a bit of skill.
@Marionville Without a doubt.
That instrument is so fascinating! Do you know what it’s called? Some type of drum? I’d love to learn how to play it! Loved the song.

It’s called a Bodhran drum.
@Marionville I will look it up. It doesn’t look like it’s hard to play, but I am sure it takes practice! 
@Marionville I found a video on how to play the Bodhran.
It doesn’t look too hard.
Absolutely thrilling. Am I understanding this correctly, it is about seaweed?

Yes…it is…we dry it and eat a certain type of seaweed and it’s sold as a type of snack food here. It’s Anglicised name is Dulse and has been eaten for centuries…it’s taste is a bit like salty bacon.

@Marionville I’ve eaten dried seaweed before. Some of it is really good! I’ve tried a few different brands and like a lot of them.
