Bodhran accompaniment: The Merry Sisters of Fate

Here I try a new set of tunes from Lúnasa.I attended a master class with Tristan Rosenstock* of the group Téada a few weeks ago along with some fellow DC-area bodhran players. He gave some good tips and ideas, including taking a \"breath\" when the other musicians do, and really listening to the other musicians so that you\'re not just barreling through the music without regard for what else is going on. I tried to apply that second notion to the second part of this tune (or tunes--it\'s not really clear from the title that it\'s two tunes, but it sure sounds like it). The triplet and rolls that were still difficult to get just a few weeks back, are now finally much easier to call on when I want them. I\'m really enjoying getting more comfortable with the instrument, and I\'m starting to think about getting a better bodhran to play on at some point, sooner rather than later.Feedback is always welcome.***UPDATE: Found the liner notes. It is two tunes! The Merry Sisters of Fate and The Longacre.****Babe alert: Handsome lad with a beautiful Dublin accent and a real charmer! Oh, and he can play a mean bodhran :)
