The Didgeridoo Man
2010.08.06
While hiking in Garden of the Gods a few months ago, I heard the unexpected sound of a didgeridoo. Drawing closer to the low, rhythmic tones I discovered the musician sitting in the center of a stand of tall red rocks.
|
I listened for awhile, took a few shots, and told him thanks for the lovely music.
|
Last week at the local Farmers' Market I was surprised to see this same "didgeman" providing the day's entertainment.
|
I visited with him and he told me that he's self-taught and orders his didgeridoos online from Australia.
|
He says it's not hard to learn, but takes patience and practice to develop the circular breathing necessary for playing.
|
He not only enjoys his musical hobby, but also gains from it a feeling of peace and satisfaction.
|
Nice to have someone share such an interesting talent and allow you to photograph as well!

I like that sound but circular breathing must be a challenge!
astrobrojler · 2010-08-06: 17:36

Great shots! Those things make the strangest sound, and the circular breathing is nearly IMPOSSIBLE, although I've seen a couple of people who could do it!

Stunning set. I like the understated comment about circular breathing - whenever I've tried it on the recorder I've found it damn near impossible!!
