My Didj Playing Today

Until relatively recently, there had been a great lull in my playing, about a 12 year break. I had been playing regularly, but my lifestyle changed.

I have been inspired once again to play as a result of joining a didjeridu electronic discussion list. I have even managed to return to my former level of playing, taught a few others how to circular breathe, and I've even gone further - recordings. But I still play mostly for myself - it's a personal challenge.
