<DIV>There was an article in one of the local papers, reminiscent of the Wall
Street Journal article. Stephen actually stopped the show to defend himself
because of what had been written. See the article here:</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3>Thanks Reid,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Interesting article....... I see some controversial
possibilities in that article.......methinks Mr. McCarthy (if the quoted
material is accurate) comes across as bitter and not accurately
representing his own culture. I base that observation solely on having
spent personal time with several Aborigine players, some of whom have
participated in, and assisted us with school presentations. I wonder if Mr.
McCarthy might be doing more harm than good with the kind of statements he is
quoted as making....especially in light of his occupation? (see the
article).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3>I think Stephen is very respectful of the culture and the
instrument, and isn't in any way involved in misappropriation.....but everything
I have said is MHO.</FONT></DIV>
