That's Tyler Spencer in that video playing one of his agave didgeridoo. I own two of his didgeridoos, and he's a really nice guy to boot.

Jooko

My doctor just wrote a prescription for me for a didgeridoo! I'm turning it in along with my receipt from L.A.Outback, and my doc says that it should be covered by my insurance just like the other gear. I'll keep y'all posted.

Wow. I spent way too much time trying to get your post. One of us is a bit slow.

That's what blowing into a stick will do for you.

Here we go again. Two fellas completely off topic over an off topic post. I must say, however, that if someone reading this thread doesn't have any appreciation for the didgeridoo (or respect for those that play for fun and/or therapeutic reasons) should be nice or go away.

Naturally, L.A.Outback will come up very often in these posts because they are the premier importer of didgeridoos in the U.S. (and Mark and Barry are very nice folk who know their didges). This thread, which I started, is not an add for L.A.Outback, but that's where most people in the U.S. get there didges from.

So, if you can't say something interesting, informative, or at least on topic... please buzz off.

Wow! Lots of great articles in magazines this month about the didgeridoo helping to releive symptoms of OSA. One is in the current issue of Mens Health, and one in Health magazine. The one in Men's Health focuses on "strange cures that really work" and it's got some other ineteresting remedies that deviate from the medical norm.

Yup, my insurance co. is paying $68 towards my new $89 didgey! They called my doctor to ask about it and they called back after a meeting the next day to say it is newly covered under "therapeutic accessories". I have a PPO with Blue Cross and they wanted a copy of my receipt along with my doc's script.

I know that my doctor had a chat with Barry at L.A.Outback as well, and it all worked out though I really wasn't expecting it too I bought a "Walkabout" didgey and you can see what they look like on this page - just scroll down to middle of page at: http://www.laoutback.com/didgeridoo/sho ... page1.html

This is the very first thing that's ever made me happy about my insurance co.

Yeah

Well, how about this ... SPAM -

10. An inappropriate attempt to use a mailing list for commercial advertising.

9. Undesired bulk electronic messages.

8. Mass marketing without establisihing a prior business relationship.

7. Promotional material, or other forms of solicitation masquerading as sincere electronic posts to group forums.

6. Flooding the internet with the same message.

5. An attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it.

4. Posting web links for the sale of merchandise on electronic forums.

3. Posting unsolicited messages over the internet in the name of free speech.

2. As used on most newsgroups, means "the same article (or essentially the same content) posted an unacceptably high number of times".

1. A canned porked luncheon meat product high in triglycerides and sodium and generally unhealthy for the cardiovascular system ... Do'h!!! Maybe your right, I don't get this spam thing as it relates to your product either?

Mens' Health magazine (October issue) wrote about the didgeridoo and OSA. A short but interesting article.
