Music of O'Carolan

[Vico2]

O Carolan's music on Bouzouki

You must be very good, clearly you are playing professionally. Are you using the version of the instrument which was adopted for Irish music, or are you using the original style at the higher pitch.

Here is one for you Cogs

Professionally ??!! Mostly paid in Guinness sent down from the bar...

I've stuck with Greek bouzoukis which are rarely seen nowadays in trad music circles - last year when I was replacing the old one I borrowed an Irish bouzouki for a few months from Bojangles just to see if it was time to do a switch - but I bottled out and bought another Greek one.

Cogs I think that is hilarious, sitting playing and being reimburse with Guinness. How do organise an increase in pay?

I don't know anything about the bouzouki, I did read a bit and I think it was Donal Lunney who complained about the Irish version and made some changes to it. But I may be getting confused. I can't go back and read it again. My new computer is here now and my emails are working but that is all I have right now. My son will sort it out for me before the weekend. I am no good at technology. I did, or though I did, install Google Chrome today. It confirmed it was installed, but I can't find it, so I will have to wait for him.
