Gary Leatham - Quiver of Didgeridoos

GARY LEATHAM - USA
Introduction- By Tynon- I only recently met Gary over the web. He was chasing down some missing didgs for his quiver. I've been incredibly impressed, he comes a cross as a fella who has been into didgeridoo for a decade, not a short time. He's also into native american flutes and shakuhachi! With didg he has a clear idea of what makes a good player and has already tracked down some beauties. Didg and ancient woodwinds have got him, he loves them and he is passionate about building an awesome collection, covering all the pitches and styles. His story is on the way, but I'll tempt you below with a snap of his collection to date. He has just begun to play didgeridoo and flutes on stage, with groups, at dances and at meditations. He calls himself a 'medicine frog' a term that descibes his desire to be part of seeing positive environmental earth change. At nearly 50 he's just now discovering these interests ... and perhaps some instinctive tribal roots. I'm sure his story will be a good read.
