I wish i could of met him, him and gary thomas, ALAN is the reason I started playing. If your spirits around alan walk soft your a loud stick my brother.
Alan Dargin lived in Nita st In a small Town called Toronto, NSW. he lived 2 doors from me so he was a neighbour and more-so a good friend. I will never forget the tall colourful stories he would tell while we were baking raw potatoes in our campfire next to our makeshift cubby house behing his parents house and mine. Make no mistake, this guy was one in a million and an inspiration too many. From housing commision to world fame. Good on ya mate, will never forget you buddy. R.I.P
I have just learnt his death a year a go (I live in an isolated place far from Australia). I spent three days with him in Amsterdam in 1998. We sat on street corners and he played, I listened. I played a few times and he gave me tips on the 'techno style' (his words) I had going. He was a generous warm and very intelligent man. We should respect his talent and remember him. No need to talk about the weaknesses. He was a good bloke and a great artist.

thats what happens when you break aboriginal law, so you all are warned, stop the blaspheme and respect the didj lore, don't bignote yourself, be humble...the spirit of our land is strong and is no respector of person's.. anyway peace to all..
let me tell you that he didn't die because of breaking a law. who are you to judge? that's blaspemous, too. alan was a fine human being who did much more for the acceptance of aboriginal culture as you would possibly recognize.
peace to you - if you aren't too humble to accept it.
come on mate he played the didj when he was drunk, which you can't do, breaking didj law No1, aboriginal people are supposed to have a songman or dancer, breakin didj law No2, not supposwede to play sacred language with out a songman, break didj law No3, thats just three, so you still think he didn't break any didj law, cultural experts on our laws, plz he had his chance to do the right thing but chiose not to, yeah thats right condemn the law giver and the criminal goes free...
At Didge-Village he wasn't drunk at all-he had a nice cup of tea.I think he saw himself as a musician and a didg-messenger. He transported the didge into several kinds of cultures and music-styles, introduced the didgeridoo to a wide range of people as a musical instrument that has to be taken serious.One effect was the growing interest and respect for aboriginal culture in the world.What's wrong with that?
what about here in australia were you here when he turned up blind drunk not only once but a about 20 times at various gigs, come on mate he did play didj drunk and aboriginal people have witnessed it,he broke didj law and it's warning for others not to do the same thing, it's not me but the kurdicha you have to be worried about..
Thanks for explaining these laws.I respect that,I respect your culture and the way you live it-please notice,that I still respect Alan Dargin as a person,too.
Oh Alan! My first didge teacher! You will be missed! I'll blow didge for you for the next several days. May you be peaceful and happy in the Dreamtime!

Alan Dargin is an outstanding player. Would have been nice to have a better recording. Alone even perhaps. But still cool.
