Dear ol' fellow. I wonder if he'll ever achieve his life ambition of wearing his trouser belt above his nipples. Ain't it lovely how old men seem to shrink down into their trousers which stay where they are. I'll bet moses needed a periscope to see above his trousers. He plays them bones well, but half of that rattlin' was coming from his hips and knees. S'pose I'd consider myself lucky, if I can still get a bone at that age. This ol' guys got four. Viagra OD anybody?

Bones and a paper bag. In these guys' hands, it beats most of the crap that passes for music nowadays. Amazing performance!

So cool.

He plays the p-bag likes it's a bodhran!

I think David just made the proverbial silk purse out of the sow's ear. A paper sack. Who'd a thunk it? Makes a great instrument. I'm going to try it. Thanks David and keep up the good work preserving these fine traditions.

What a great guy. I got to meet Percy when I was at law school in Ann Arbor back in the late 1970's, and I got a pair of his bones. He used to go around and do bones workshops, with a hole bag full of them to teach the crowd how to play them.
