!!!!Information on the LAST JT didgeridoo Festival Aug 14-16th goto http://www.jtdidgefest.com/entertainment.htm

There is a good chance that FAT CONGAS will sponsor the band! Fat Congas make the BEST CAJONS we have ever played! Regardless of the sponorship, hopefully the band will all have Fat Congas to entertain you with!

Also on the way, is a set of Tycoon Djuns Djuns we picked up from Dancing Drum (www.dancingdrum.com) The Tycoon djun djuns are some of the best sounding Djuns that I have played.

A number of people have asked me about the American Indian Flute I play. It was made by Stephen DeRuby and is his Trail Flute in the key of A. Stephen is a great guy, a fantastic flute maker and flute player. Use the link at the end of this page (or www.DeRuby.com) to check out his Flutes and CD's.
