1. Not for this DUer

I own one myself and as a former trumpet player, I enjoy Digeridooing on occasion. Can't get the trick of circularly breathing however.

2. Nope, I own a didj.

Granted, it's made out of PVC, not eucalyptus.

4. OK, name a song from the 1960s that had a Didgeridoo in it...

Give up?

"Tie me Kangaroo Down."

5. Funny Story re 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down'

I worked for a company in the '80s that was bought by an Australian consortium. When the union membership went on strike a brief time afterward, they hung a kangaroo in effigy on property they owned within sight of management coming & going from work. One mid-level American toadie remarked to his Aussie bosses, 'maybe it isn't so bad...isn't there a song called 'Hang Me Kangaroo High?'' The Aussie bosses weren't amused.
