Hamburger Lips

Thought I’d bring you up to date on the state of my current didgeridoo playing;

1. Yes, I can play it.
2. And it sounds like a didj should sound.
3. I can make it growl, sing and almost talk.
4. I have fallen in love with this incredible instrument.
5. I am still learning to circular breathe and make animal sounds (Dingo, Roo, Kookaburra and more)

I play my didj at least 4-5 times a week for approximately 30 – 60 minutes
or until my lips turn into the consistency of lean ground hamburger (my lips get that red as well).
I did, however, figure out how to blaze my way into the Didgeridoo Hall of Fame. (is there such a place?)
It came to me in a flash while talking on Skype to Maureen and Mark in Australia
(the Givers of said Didj) last Friday night.
I’m going to play THIS on  my didj. (no need to listen to the whole song, just the beginning riff)
I know that it’s weird.
But it’s original, yes?
I know I’ll never win an award but hey,
I am having an absolute blast and it makes me smile whenever I play my didj.
(most definitely not the last didj I will ever own)
Stay tuned for more Didj updates, if you’d like.
Still thinking about that YouTube video as well.
Be patient folks, be real patient.

   oh, my… the riff that is banned from many guitar stores (along with “stairway to heaven”) would sound SPECTACULAR on the didj…. can’t wait. gotta hear it!

   don’t be a didj tease!

   a didj tease?
   Now that’s something I’ve never been called . . .
   Always a first, Daisy

   You’re getting quite good I must say. Much better than that little fart you first got out of it!
   
   I know for sure it won’t be the only one you own, because we are in fact eyeing off another one to bring with us in July
   
   Can’t wait to here this song played on it…

   Strange…I’m here commenting, and you’re currently at my place and just made a comment

   I noticed the comment [time] displacement as well!
   As far as my didj?
   Yeah, more than a fart these days.
   Circular breathing real soon.
   When that happens, you will be sick of me talking about it (like you’re not now!)
   I will thank you once again for such an incredible and lasting gift.
   later gator,

   Having seen and heard the didgeridoo, I am getting a visual of your lips looking like the ones in the photo. I don’t know where you get those pictures, but this one is great.
   Can’t wait to hear some more…..
   Hall of Fame, watch out!

   Next time you come by I will gladly didgeridoo for you.
   Just ask!
