This is a healthy shout out to all of you teachers, healers, tribal leaders, and didgeridoo gurus out there. From a student and a teacher to a student and a teacher: Thank you, for all that you have done, are doing, and will do...
Keep up the light work.
Keep up the light work.

Re: Who or what inspired you to play didgeridoo?
Sun, July 9, 2006 - 10:52 AMI've played brass since I was eleven years old but there always seemed to be something missing... At seventeen an adopted brother turned me onto the didge and it just clicked. The freedom, expression, the Life that flows out of a didge was exactly what I had been missing with the structured intruments- no interruptions between the brain and lungs, no fingers to get tangled, no eyes to misread the music. I went on a two-year pilgrimage up and down the left coast just playing for the sake of playing. So my inspiration? Lack of boundaries, liberation of imagination and electronica :)

Re: Who or what inspired you to play didgeridoo?
Mon, July 10, 2006 - 10:56 AMI was inspired to play didgeridoo by Bryan Rosenbaum from the L.A. area. He was not the first person I have heard play the didgeridoo, but he remains one of my favorites even after six years of playing and hearing new musicians. My first impression of the feeling that washed over me was that I was inside of the womb. Everything that I ever needed was provided for me and the only thing I desired was that he never stopped playing. I was in an intense state of bliss. Bryan taught me how to play didgeridoo. He let me use his didgeridoo when ever I wanted and within a week I was circular breathing. Bryan also is responsible for obtaining my very first didgeridoo which he picked up while on tour in Australia.
Thank you Bryan... -

Re: Who or what inspired you to play didgeridoo?
Fri, July 21, 2006 - 12:10 PMOne night I was at this party, and tho it was a friendly, mellow, crowd, I was feeling restless, as usual at such events for me, and was about to leave when I heard a jam session starting up in the other room. And then I heard the didge. It was being played in such an unusual way, with so much passion that ended up staying till predawn listening. It was Tyler, about four or five years ago. A couple years later I finally asked him if he had a cd... and ended up with a didge. Something about it calms me down, centers me, and seems to be tied into physics,
the frequencies that create theses worlds we are inhabiting. the mobius...and strangely, the didge kind of feels like a freind!
A sort of doorway. Not only in learning circular breathing (it helped quit tobacco) but in encountering and connecting with other people who resonate with the "-didge",

Re: Who or what inspired you to play didgeridoo?
Mon, October 9, 2006 - 2:10 PMi was something of 15 or 16 and in the neighboring woods ALL the time. opening my mind and living with nature. i met a man named damon dennis. he had a didg. with him that he bought off some lot at some show... i dunno which or where. I asked what it was and he said the name, it's origin and then began to play it. he stopped and handed it to me. within the evening i had it down. we'd take turns to see who could go longer, he hadn't learned the art of circular breath and since i'd just began ... well that's a givin. over the next few months i'd hang out and practice on his. until one day i ventured out ... and the strangest thing... in the middle of the woods where there weren't any bamboo patches... against a small cedar lay a singular piece of cut bamboo... perfect size and everythin. I took it home and knocked out the nodes and it became my first didg. i made several after that. gave several away... and about 3 years into playing finally learned to circular breathe! what an eye popper that was... the rush is incredible when it happens. anyhow... that's been 10 years now i've played with and for several people including myself. and love the meditative state it supplys for all. my son is now at 5 and has been picking them up since he could hold them. viva la didg! -

Re: Who or what inspired you to play didgeridoo?
Tue, October 31, 2006 - 9:37 PMI was hanging out with a bunch of folks on a beach on the far west coast of Vancouver Island BC CAN, about 11 years back . It was a full moon coming on and someone decided to bless the crew with a mushroom ceremony for the night. Well late afternoon, two blokes walk up with these long skinny bags and bright shining faces, Shine, From Australia and Natty who had travelled there. Well they began playing and I just about lost it, the sound so incredible, and somehow familiar. Then the mushroom tea was shared and we all went on an intergalactic journey with our cosmic tour guides and their amazing sticks and sweet vibrations. A few days later Shine also shared a Sound healing session, WOW!! I was hooked up! As soon as I got off that beach I rounded up a piece of black pipe and started practicing. I really wanted to share that healing energy with anyone and everyone, to touch others the way I had been touched by that sacred sound. The beautiful part was that winter I settled into a mountain area in BC and lo and behold, So had Shine and Natty. They inspired such an intentional and healing form of playing!! What a blessing. I hung out with them as often as I could. I became a didj groupie whenever they performed or shared healing circles too!! It was a wonderful blessing and a great beginning.
