Here's one instrument where I'm pretty confident that it's made and painted by Billy himself:



I've purchased it in Maningrida. It's painted in ochres and it's bore is completely untouched and the shape very unlike the Howell sticks.

And a nice looking stick it is.

Sad news about Alan Dargin's death coming out of Australia today... my thoughts are with his family.

And excellently playing one too, I forgot to add.

Yes, very sad news about Alan indeed. I saw him perform at the last Swizzeridoo festival in July 2007. He was looking good and was in a very good mood, making plans for the future and chatting with a lot of people.

What a tragic turn.

Very tragic indeed, Alan was a character- very full of life and energy.
