Didgeridus and Didgeridon'ts BY ELIZA

A digeridu is a digeridu. 
A digeridon't is a digeridon't.
One costs more. One costs less.
One is made by termites in Australia.
One is made in China or Indonesia.

This less than flattering photo of my backside and Eliza's  much tinier one (thanks ever so much to my loving husband for his great photography work... I'm sure National Geographic will soon be giving you a call, Hon for your quality work in an urban setting!) also features an indigenous Australian who was playing a the digeridu as a street performer just outside the ferry terminal on Syndey harbor. He explained about the traditional instrument, how to play it (by blowing your lips like doing a raspberry), how much a good one would cost (around $800 Austrailian dollars) and cautioned us to gaurd against dideridon'ts! (the fake replicas of the real thing!)
