Boogie and the Digeridoo

Hello!
Well, I'm back home again safe and sound. It took me days to dry out, I had to take all my clothes off and make sure that every tiny bit of fur was properly dried. Not fun at all! It was a very fast tour of Australia, so I think I'd like to go back again sometime when I'm not in so much of a rush! There was only one instrument that I could play after going to Australia, so I searched the instrument box and found a didgeridoo! It was a tiny one, they're usually anything from between 1 to 3 meters long, but this one is totally bear sized and perfect for me! The name didgeridoo isn't the original name for it, there are lots of Aboriginal names: Ilpirra, paampu, martba, the list goes on! It really is an amazing instrument and I wasn't any good at it. You can see Jeremy a really great player on this video. I didn't really have enough puff to do it very well!
Another adventure soon!

Boogie in the Lake District

Hello!
I'm up in the Lake District taking a little break. We decided to go for a nice long walk up a mountain. My legs were a little bit small though and I had to be carried in a rucksack, as you can see. It kept me nice and warm though and out of any puddles! I had fun sitting on a couple of cairns, but it was very very windy and my fur blew all over the place! I had to help a little bit coming back down the mountain though, my map reading skills are excellent, as you can see. We were soon back home again, safe and sound, just before it started to rain. I was glad to be in the car before it rained as I really couldn't face drying out again!
Another adventure very soon!

Boogie and the Dan Moi

Hello!
I'm back at home again and I decided I liked playing Bear size instruments, so I looked around for one... I found this instrument. It's called the Vietnamese Dan Moi. I remember when it arrived and my whole family wondered for ages what on earth it was and how to play it! A friend that had one already showed them how to play it. I was ok at playing it, but not as good as this gentleman!
Well, I'm off on another adventure very soon!

Hello!
I've ended up back in Detroit again but this time the weather is much better.
This is a great trip ... we went to the Motown Museum where I got to stand/sit/fall-over in "Studio A" - the place where so many of the really great Motown musicians recorded their music. People Like Marvin Gaye and The Contours and The Spinners and the Isley Brothers and The Supremes and .... of course ..... the Jackson Five. You can see their website at http://www.motownmuseum.com . It was very very cool.
On the outside of the building was a shrine to Michael Jackson. I didn't want to sit too close to the shrine because I might have made lots of friends, got talking and missed my next journey.
As usual, I fell over a bit ... but for once it wasn't raining so I didn't get wet. YAY!
I'm only here for a short time - and then it is time to shoot back to England to do some more music stuff over there.
Must scoot.
