Doggone! The software is supposed to send ASCII to Paddlewise! I was saying that those clackity things are "bones" although more often today they are made of wood. (Rib bones.) The best I have ever seen with bones (or spoons or any other percussable thing) then check out Benoit Bourque. http://www.myspace.com/benoitbourque QUOTING << Iritage, Ad vielle que pourra, Hommage ` Alfred Montmarquette, Bourque et Bernard, Matapat, Le Vent du Nord, are all bands that enjoyed his talents and his exceptional charisma. Specialist of Quebec tradionnal dances, Benoit has presented lectures and workshops in many camps and festivals, showing his skill in step dancing and bones playing (wich is a family tradition: his dad and grandad were both bones players). >> I remember he was part of Matapat for a while, and before that Eritage, both Quebecois musical groups. I think he is now with La Bottine Souriante. Rich and often exciting French-Canadian folk music that shows its roots in Brittany -- and how similar that is to the rest of the Celtic world. One of his routines when he was with Matapat was to shave a volunteer with a straight razor, while step dancing. I like my beard anyway so I did not volunteer!
