Matthias Eder commented on John Derby's blog post The Most Popular Didgeridoo Players?"Hey John,
the Didgeworld is too anarchistic for popularity by CD sales ;-)
First of all: No regular Music Shop does sell Didgeridoo CDs at all, it´s a freak market.
If a market at all. So Didgemusic will take while until it shows up in the…"

The Most Popular Didgeridoo Players?
Looking around the internet, I see a lot of didgeridoo players. Even on iTunes, there is a lot to choose from. However, I was trying to find out who are the most popular didgeridoo players in the world music scene and I haven't yet found any listings. By "most popular", I'm referring to popular in terms of CD sales.
So my question is this: In your opinion, which didgeridoo performers, both Australian and around the world, are the…

Didgeridoo Busker Performance Tracks
I'm an arranger, and I'm considering making a performance tracks CD for Didgeridoo buskers. You know, a CD with tunes in a variety of styles with all the musicians EXCEPT for the didgeridoo. Buskers could use it to play along with when busking. Also, didge players could use it for a variety of purposes, including performance, demos, even just playing at home. I'll publish it with the same tunes in four different keys: C, C#, D, and D#.
What do you think? Would it sell? …

- Hi John. Thanks for the video. Just what I needed to cheer me up after a hard day. It bought a smile to my face. How do you do videos? Do I just take a video of myself on a mobile phone and then transfer it to the computor or is it more complicated than that? I think its a good idea to do a video when you're just begining because then in a couple of months time you can do another one to show how much you've improved. Look forward to your next installment and hope to thrill everybody with my 3note samba shortly.
