<DIV>Hi Per,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had the same reaction to Mr McCarthy's comments. His website is below.

<DIV><FONT size=3>Thanks Reid,</FONT></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>
