"Did I wanna know this?"

"You hum it son, I'll play it"

"You sing the first line, I come in at the second, you do the third, I do the fourth, and 'im, he can sing the chorus by 'isself."

April's piece of technical knowhow.

Theobald Boehm, created the instrument, known thesedays  as the Modern Flute, but with an open Gsharp key, not a closed Gsharp key, and the mouthpiece was.... actually not the mouth piece, it was the headjoint, which had a 12 cm tone hole and was paralytic, no not paralytic, it was parabolic.  Please see Jack for further details.......because he can't remember at the moment, but it was sort of convex-like, if you see what I mean.

"I'll 'ave another one, I'm not seeing double!"

Having mastered the flute, Jack has now decided to conquer the didgeridoo - watch this space....

May's piece of technical knowhow

How to get a drone on a didgeridoo.  Clench cheeks (all of them), deep breath, blow, force cheeks into balloon shape, spurt out last plop of air, whilst sniffing deeply.  Say, "yabbidabbidoo" down the instrument followed by chipanzee noises.  Drink another pint of beer and practice some more.
