"I am so happy and proud to have won the Didjshop contest; I have a few didgeridoos, but none of concert quality, and certainly none of this fine workmanship (I've always been partial to ones with some bark left on the bell end!) The instrument told me when I did it right, with a beautiful earthy rumble.....I am certainly interested in the didgeridoo musically, with probably 3 dozen CDs of didj music, ranging from traditional Aboriginal and new-age music to the Afro-Latin renditions of Graham Wiggins (from the defunct group "Outback", late of the group "Dr. Didg") to the high-energy Celtic didj-sounds of "Wicked Tinkers"; didgeridoo has certainly come a long way from around the corroboree....
But I'm especially interested in the didgeridoo as a healing instrument! I'm not your average player; I'm an oxygen-dependent emphysema patient. Everyone knows by now about didgeridoo and sleep apnea; general healing with didgeridoo is starting to be known to the mainstream (thanks to Svargo Freitag of the Didjshop among others!); playing conveys a certain healing power beyond just the exercising of the lungs for emphysema (and of the soft palate for apnea and snoring), but on a much deeper level as well; in the first ever (I think) recorded didgedridoo how-to cassette, way back when, by Alastair Black, he mentioned about many of the Chinese acupuncture meridians going past, and being affected by, the lips; "buzzing" of didgeridoos affecting meridians all over the body. I have a book with accompanying CD, "The Healing Power of Didgeridoo", written and produced in Holland! So this is now a world-wide phenomenon!
And I hope everyone reading this will join me every Solstice and Equinox (as I've done for about two years now) for healing the Earth with our didgeridoos, sponsored by the Didjshop and Svargo Freitag!" |
