i do!

the sound it makes gives me the fantasy that im sitting around a fire in the outback with Aborigines. it makes the purest low pitched bassyness but can also make any other wild sound your mind can come up with

also its like hitting a 4ft bong if you blow a shottie through it

aww damn i cant change the title....***didgeridoo***

Yeh i love the didge man,im aboriginal but only some of the family really acknowledges it (i dont mean 1/58th koori),go 2 generations up on mums side & they were as black as the ace of spades.

Back on topic.....yeh ive been learnin for a couple months and i just bought this beautiful didge,traditionally made in arnhem land.Its about 5ft5". I think the wood was yellow box and those black bands are pandanus twine,i love its natural look.

that thing rocks. I listen to the demos at the museums for money in the hat in CA. Man that is one haunting moving sound, like an epic, like a rich full life, lol, makes me feel like something big is going down. The adventure of life and sheet!

naw not much bamboo here in mass, all i ever see is cheap little ornamental sticks. i heard a relative of mine in NH planted a bamboo plant and by the end of summer it had infested his and 2 neighbors yards.

i think i might be able to use a pvc pipe or find something

my friend who has been letting me play his didgeridoo has finally accepted that ive surpassed him and admited that the didge would be better off in my hands.

so i finally have my own didgeridoo!! whooo!!ho!!!!

i want to star a band, or maybe just record a few songs with the didgeridoo, a bongo drum an electric guitar with glass slide and one other "instrument"; you know that sound that you make when you shake a sheet of plastic, metal or cardboard? wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-wha

im gonna start working on the first song, which i want to be like outback tribal song about fighting a kangaroo

i also want to work on strange sounding covers of popular songs people have heared 100 times. for instance i play the beat of tequila and shes a lady on the didg and im sure theres more i can do

any input or feedback welcome
