[keranst1]

All the politics byside -Stephen Kent is an awesome didge player and if I could play only half as good as him I would be happy.

thanx for a wonderfull piece

There's no doubt that you can play a tree branch. But seriously, another boy ridden by white-guilt? Ashamed to be from a race conquerors. Listen to the wackos in the crowd this guy is attracting. These kinds of movements are fueled by half-finished thoughts.

I challenge you to go be with the aboriginals in Australia. Leave your shoes and your trademark bandanna, your home, green friendly car, etc, and just go. And don't come back in a week when you miss all of the white luxuries.

"I challenge you to go be with the aboriginals in Australia. Leave your shoes and your trademark bandanna, your home, green friendly car, etc, and just go. And don't come back in a week when you miss all of the white luxuries."

Steven Kent has already done that, including some at the JT!

Ya, that first post came across a lot more hostile than I intended. Plus, I didn't really make myself too clear. I'm not talking about a Safari or a Camping trip. I'm talking about, "here's your loin cloth, have a good life." Even some of the most privileged & pampered among us go off and do little stints in the wilderness.

Like I said, I don't mean any hostility here. I just get agitated by what comes across as contempt for the western culture. We're not perfect but we've brought a lot of good

[ToulouseTrousers]

you sir (cf1) miss the point ENTIRELY ... one doesn't have to be laden w/ white guilt in order to desire to reattract a primordial 'frequency' into their souls & reintroduce a simpler interaction w/ nature into their lives ... a lot of people look at yer typical big-box strip-mall in anytown, USA & feel an instantaneous revulsion ... that doesn't mean that they then have to GIVE-UP everything else in their lives & go run around in a loincloth ... PLEASE ... you sir (cf1) are a MORON ...

[druidsfoot]

Wow, he even plays his cheek...

Sounds similar to a song he played on Alien Dreamtime.

Im from england and I wish the aboriginal people WOULD come and claim it! We are just a puppet of the hideous USA with no soul or connection to the earth! If the Aborigines were in charge, at least we might get back to natural knowledge and respect for nature... just a thought

[Toddthedidger]

You mean going back to being Druids?

[siandliz]

Hi Todd...I'm not proposing we go back to being druids...My comment was really more an expression of my disliking for greed, consumerism, capitalist politics, pollution and the waste of earths natural resources. Rather than going back to a time of any dominant religion I would propose that we could live in a 'resource based' economy rather than the present monetary system with its in-built debt, poverty and exploitation of people and the earth. And so on......... Anyway...hows your didging goin?

[didjmunkey]

this is my favorite tune from him. check out snakes and ladders which is his latest project with australian bebop ragas. its sweet. but still the energy from this song is awesome!

[DaSchraadz]

The Truth Is Out There... And It Hurts...

Yeah I love all his work. I have been to workshops with him and seen him in concert a few times. I can't get enough! He is a huge inspiration to play the didj

[Yakovich]

Very cool

[cybershadow58]

Let me be the 1st to say: I think Stephen is the best, most-powerful player of dij in the World! It has been 15 years since our first meeting and his dij work is the most exciting ever! I have been his student..namaeste,Mark Moran

[trdkurac]

He is the most powerful player in the world. I met him in Berlin. Great guy!!!
