I remember staying with a fellow powderworker in Seattle sometime in the 
mid 90's.  We took her didj and the hunk of small caliber bamboo she had 
been learning to didj on to Gas Works Park on Puget Sound.  I actually got 
some noise out of it, and she was just learning to circular breathe.

We got into an amusing call and response pattern with the boats on the 
sound.  Several were involved, blowing their horns back to us in varying 
patterns.  Great way to blow off a pleasant sunny August evening.

had been learning to didj on to Gas Works Park on Puget Sound.&nbsp; I
actually got some noise out of it, and she was just learning to circular
breathe.<br>
