Passing away of a yidaki player

It is my extremely sad duty to report that the artist of 'Hard Tongue Didgeridoo' passed away today 15th of july 2007 (Sunday). Cause of death is uncertain at this time but someone who was at the scene said it looked like he had passed away peacefully in his sleep. He was out fishing this morning and everyone said he seemed happy.

I'm not sure what to say or how to feel at the moment, I just know I'll miss him and some of the plans we had. He was a great potential leader who was going through some personal struggles. I hope he has found peace. It is obviously a great loss both for his own people and for the rest of us who learned from and were inspired by him.

Don't feel like you can't keep learning from him and his CD. You're all an important part of his legacy.
