I'm not sure how often Andy Watjuku can contribute to this Forum... problems with internet access, computer skills, etc. I did help him register and login the other day.
But by all means, if there are specific questions for Watjuku from anyone of this Forum, please let me know and I'll call Watjuku and get a reply from him and post here accordingly.
Here are some pics of Watjuku refreshing his computer skills and posting to this Forum!

Even if it is the occasional direct posting, I'm honored to have Andy Watjuku as a contributing member of the forum.
Guan, perhaps I'll email you with some direct questions for Andy. _________________ www.jdidj.com

Yup, go ahead with questions anytime... direct email might be better, unless the questions have broad appeal and relevance.
I did video Andy making a statement about yi daki and authenticity... will put this up today or tomorrow

Dear Guan
It is the exactly street.
Didgeridoo might certainly be mere musical instruments. However, because it is a traditional culture of Aborige 2, I think that it should show deference to them. Be not to pay the respect, and it to know well.
I want to learn variously through this forum.

Hi Andy Watjuku great honour to meet you here! As you once said your self "with the flick of a mouse, you get to other side of the world....". And here we are Andy...... hi I'm Peter Gerritsen a Dutch fella that lives in the Netherlands and uses the forum nickname YidakiMago. The nick name revers to the two ways off playing that have influents my live a great deal and is still doing so. The sound of the Didjeridu has learned me to appreciate the richness off Yolngu's cultural heritage. And in that respect I like to help bring more awareness (proper story) where possible, regarding Didjeridu (Yidaki, Mago) and Yolngu culture in general. And this is only possible if Yolngu will tell use ballanda proper story. So again Andy you are most welcome.
No worries I'm not much of a writer. I'm more a listener and observer. Maybe in the near future we can chat through video?
And for those who are not familiar with Any Watjuku Gurruwiwi, I recommend to cheque out these links!!!
Read this!!! http://www.yirrkala.com/yidaki/artists/watjuku.html
And here you can see/hear one of his makings played by the great Yomunu.

And I have to say that he is a remarkable craftsman and artist. Believe me he is, I play one off his creations regularly.
Cheers,
Peter
