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.
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).
