Xavier Didgeridoo
If you ever get the chance to see Xavier Rudd, do it! He's an Australian musician whose act features multiple didgeridoos! I attended his show in Santa Cruz on the 27th of June, and shy a couple problems with the audience, it was fantastic! He played for two hours before taking a break, then came back and played for another half hour. His singing reminded me very much of Paul Simon, specifically The Rhythm of the Saints. He switched between folks, native and rock, playing the didge multiple times. I have a didge myself, but have never mastered the circular breathing. Inspired by last night's show, I'm going to jump back in and see if I can finally figure it out. :)
The problems with the audience included a) the idiots who kept crowding to the front of the theater and standing, blocking our view of the stage, and b) the idiots who felt it was appropriate to light up joints inside the theater, during the show!
