Let's have the Laurie Lewis song, please.

The point about the didge as an answer is that it really is a dead tree, with no trimmings such as strings, which a fidddle would need before it could sing.

In fact isn't it true that the best didges aren't those portable ones we see around the festival, but consist if holllow tree trunks that are far too massive to move around, so the session takes place where the tree fell? Ent music.

If the people who did the "Musical Instrument Makers of America" ever get round to producing "Musical Instrument Makers of Australia" no doubt they'll sort out if that's the truth.
