RE Through us the horn of time blows in the art of the world, as I play Trombone, I play for you and all of us, then. It's very good for the heart, literally. The tones permeate the head. You cannot hold onto a vague thought when you are generating a tone on the horn, it is all you are, you can be, doing. The low notes literally blur your vision.

I attempted the didgeridoo. My circular breathing skills just did not comport well.

Amazing instrument, my digeredoo efforts also fell flat. Like flute, it lacks air resistance that the horns introduce, and imo takes more air retention skills. I learned the resistance is my friend early on!

21st century minds have been working to make different kinds of didgeridoos. I went to a music shop in Chinatown where traditional ones were sold. Maybe it is still there. I will go out before the rain and see. I enjoy my urban lifestyle of enforced leisure until work 1/3 to 4/19 and then maybe a convention gig to tide me over.

Let my fingers do the walking, and the shop changed slightly over the years but remains. https://www.theclarionsf.org/

This may have been a throw away line in your post, but it's a good one for those clinging to the past.
