Anyone else playing the didgeridoo to help with apnea?

No offense to Kenny G lovers, I think I prefer the didge to his playing, but hey, that's just me (and I don't even like didge music!)

I have a friend in Australia who has a friend, William Barton, who performs the didge. He was taught the instrument in his native community. No, I don't know if he had sleep apnea. For a sample of the music, see the Products section of his website.

I'm not sure I would go to a concert of this, though. I can't take more than five minutes of it (and that's 4 and a half minutes more than I can barely take of Kenny G's music).

Did anyone see this report on the news last week? BTW, I am not a fan of his at all, but I thought it was interesting that none other than Kenny G., the hippy-dippy soprano sax player, just broke the official Guiness Book record he set in 1997, by holding a single note (an E flat) for over 46 minutes. He used the same circular breathing "CB" technique that didge players use.

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

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?

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

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.

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.
