What about the didgeredoo? Any of those Fiona?

We don't seem to get Australians at the festival. It's puzzling because I know there is a lot of interest there ( as I said, Altan played Sidney Opera House recently). I have heard the digeridoo, but only a few times, and not played by native Australians. It too seems to act as a drone, and it must be accompanied by other instruments, but when I have heard it it has been combined with mainstream fiddles and flutes etc. What goes with it in Australia?

Not much really, it's played at places, and normally someone busks with it at places, but it's not used that often.

Though there are two kinds of players, those that can play and must take breaths, and those that can breathe while playing. The latter are the true players, and it's something extremely hard to gain, which is why few can do it properly.

Anyway, it's late here, nice talking with you Fiona, and Kipi, it was good to be in touch, hope to see you again soon.

Goodnight all!

Well, IMO not everything got a sense, but it's OK, I think. At least the beginning of basic training...

That sounds about right, why would anything operated by the governmen make sense? Unless your government is an effective governing body with the best intrests of the people at heart, then there might be some differences in the whole reason for the armies... but thats another story.

Alright Im off for breakfast, see you later, and if I dont, good luck in the army.

Well, the cold hasn't been good enough reason by this time for that.

But the activity outside will be more comfortable, when it's not so damned cold
