George Zienowicz is His Own Grandfather?!

(AP – Trenton) George Zienowicz, fiddler, piper and silent fifth voice of the Celtic band, Na’Bodach, has been indicted by a grand jury yesterday on charges of “existing as a multi-generational entity.” The state is charging the hirsute musician with several counts ranging from underage fiddling to being one’s own grandfather. “We find this case intriguing”, says Ted Mandy of the Greater Trenton DA’s office. Mandy, a lawyer specializing in elder youth cases notes, “Georgie”, when young, or “Mr. Z”, when old, is a fascinating subject. Rare as these cases are, they do manifest consistent with traditional musicians. The inherent immaturity associated with musicians in general, mixed with the historical element of a traditional art form can produce an age conflict in the individual.”

Mandy observes this condition as a “phenomenon.” If convicted, Zienowicz may serve time at the Northeast PA Correctional Facility for Fiddling and Diddling, pending notification of his parents. A Na’Bodach spokesperson and band member, Andy Redmond, could not be reached due to a prior commitment as judge for a “Consume the Most Bowls of Lucky Charms in Guinness Without Throwing Up and Win a T Shirt” contest at a local frat house.

Na’Bodach Bandsman to Auction Artistic Artifacts

(AP-Phila.) Bud Osthaus, member of the outlawed Celtic group, Na’Bodach, will be “letting go” of choice bits of his large and unique collection and has several interesting items up for sale. As listed on Sotheby’s (page 145, misc.) the grouping consists of several framed wooden water beaters used in motion pictures, a drinking flask once belonging to Cardinal Richelieu’s cousin, Ted, several tufts of red fescue, four left-handed bolts from the dirigible, U.S.S. Spielman, (circa 1926), a trained chimpanzee named “Mr. Jumpy” and a lemon wedge…yum. Although the following are not to auction, Osthaus also has retained the largest collection of musical instruments yet found on the Isle of Man. Weezeflutes, tin pleghammers, several “fez” drums and a piece defying description. “I first saw this instrument in West Yadlarym ”, says Mr. O, “It spoke to me… I mean, it really spoke… opened what looked like a mouth and said, ‘play me, Yank’. Odd, yet
compelling… had to have it…s till can’t quite figure it out but someday… someday.” Bud is known for his prodigious musicality and currently holds the Guinness World Record for musical instruments learned in a 24 hour period, (14). Look to the net for auction times and venues.

New “Press Kit” Section!

Na’Bodach had quite a year in 2007! How so? The band finished in the “Celtic Top Ten” for digital downloads in Germany & Japan. Wow! While also faring well throughout the world in their genre, Na’Bodach is still one of the “best kept secrets” in Celtic music. So…
