It's settled.

I've been thinking a bit about what I would like to do my project on and I've decided to do it on Traditional Irish Music after all. I was practicing some of my rhythms on my bohdrán for a theater collaboration I'm performing in (unfortunately it doesn't include a  bohdrán but instead a tambourine & cymbal) and I was thinking why not do my project on Irish music? I think it would be a good opportunity for me to not only look at different tune types but focus a portion of it on the bohdrán. 

I also like to sing and am a bit obsessed with Irish songs and the stories behind them so maybe I'll learn a song that includes some bohdrán. I already know of a few that I like I just haven't learned to sing and play them together yet. A few I know of are I'm Here Because I'm Here, Madam I'm a Darlin and a version of Ramblin Irishman.

I have recordings of the first two by a performer named Mark Stone, and actually already have his album The Bohdrán  that I've practiced with from time to time because he has tracks with solely different rhythms & patterns for different tune types.

The version of Ramblin Irishman that I have is actually by Rósín White. The ideal thing would be not to just learn this on my own but learn from someone else who plays. This way I can stay close to the Irish music tradition of oral transmission as well as their strong tradition of student-mentor of teachings. Then maybe I can get into a session and play sometime.
