Lookie, lookie - my musical boy has a new toy to play with. Let's see if you can guess what it is. He already has a recorder, trumpet, keyboard and guitar, in addition to the FOUR guitars, plus the bass that Matt has. I just realized that we have twice as many musical instruments in this house as we have people.


Here's another hint - here's how you play it. Another hint - it's not from America - comes from clear on the other side of the earth! Australia mate!

Yep, you guess it, it's a Didgeridoo. Ain't it cool? I was going to get him one at the Scottish games. Our favorite Scottish band, The Wicked Tinkers, has a didgeridoo in their band and they sell them sometimes, but they were out. You wouldn't think a didge would sound good with bagpipes and drums, but it actually sounds great with them.

He was so disappointed that the Tinkers didn't have them, so I went out to Ebay and found this one. It's actually made out of black PVC pipe and it has some authentic aborigine dot art on it. Pretty reasonable too - about $20 bucks. Not bad if it makes your kid happy.

I'll tell ya, this kid is a musical genius. Five minutes on the Internet and he was playing away on it. Sounds great. I just hope he doesn't want a bagpipe next!
