Yesterday on my program someone called regarding the Didgeridoo (based on, I guess, a network Radio Shack commercial featuring said instrument.) — Here’s an e-mail I got from KJ from Longneck complete with a photo of his very own Didgeridoo.

Here’s a picture of my, “Didgeridoo”, complete with instruction book and an Australian Kangaroo whip that I acquired on one of my past trips to Australia.

The Didgeridoo was and still is used by the tribes of the northern Territorial Aborigines. It is made from branches that have been hollowed out by termites. The length is usually about three feet long. The branch is tapered the small end being the mouth piece. Bark is stripped and the wood is smoothed. The wood is then stained and then decorated with tribal images.
