From davewstorer at yahoo.com Tue Jul 1 08:46:46 2008 From: davewstorer at yahoo.com (Dave Storer) Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 08:46:46 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Didjeridu] A bloom in the St. Louis didjeridu desert. Message-ID: <545686.38470.qm@web31006.mail.mud.yahoo.com> David Blonski was actually in St. Louis, and did two concerts and a three hour class and workshop.? He'd been in Indianapolis, Indiana with his wife Nina at a labyrinth conference.?? It turns out one of the worlds largest designers and installers of? labyrinths is here in St. Louis, and Dave had done some work on a couple of their installations, where he'd played for the workers during breaks in the work.????? It was natural for him to stop here on his way back to California.???? (Hi, David, if you still read these postings.?? You'll get a separate e-mail.) The concert Friday was wonderful, with a lot of variety -- many different didj'es,? flutes, drums and various other percussion instruments.??? Holding it all together was an electronic loop recorder/player.??? For one piece, he layed down a five (at least) layer background, starting with a very low didj, then successively adding drum, shaker, rattles, and a Percussive Frog Rasp.?? With that looping in the background, he played his flute.?? During some of his pieces, he projected images on the wall, many of them done by the late Peter Spoecker (see news article from 7/15/2005, search for "Peter").? Marvelous. I was afraid the class would be too simple minded, since part of it was supposed to be an intro to didj playing, but as luck would have it, there were only four students and all could play pretty well.???? The experience reawakened my interest in the didj, which has been somewhat dormant for the last year or two.?? Now I'm all excited about trying to gather as many didj players from St. Louis and surrounds into a viable community. If any of you didj listers are in the area, or know of any players? in the area, I'd appreciate getting? any kind of lead you have on them.?? I'm retired now, and expect to spend a significant amount of time getting some blooms growing in the St. Louis Didjeridu Desert. Take care all, Dayv??? (when I joined the list almost ten years ago, there were several Dave's and David's active, so I had to do something to help distinguish me from the others.) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's been exactly 9 years since I first made the Didjbox available online. Since then I have sent the boxes to more than 20 countries and to every state in the US. I am always trying to refine the Didjbox so I have recently re-designed 2 models to have a sleeker more rounded shape and enhanced sound quality.

He had played trumpet so he had an usual movement of something like closing the mouth then put the mouthpiece against the lower lip and then slowly rising it so the didge would push the hairs up. I don't know if you get the idea but it is quite simple, he used to do it slowly because he didn't practice much but I imagine that after some time you are able to get a good positioning of the mouthpiece in a instinctive way.

I use conditioner on my beard every day and play some kind of wind instrument everyday. Try the conditioner, I bet it will help! The only time I've ever had bleeding lip problems is the first few days after I shave... my lips dry out b/c the beard is no longer helping hold in the moisture!
