It was awesome;we were at Linville Gorge in the western North Carolina mountains watching the Brown Mtn Lights .I was playing my bagpipes and then we heard the didj. Some mountain bikers that were camping close by had one and a bullroar. These guys were good,the one on the didj could circular breathe and could keep that thing wound up for a long time. Terry Rose
