Evoking the Dreamtime – by Barry Martin

Posted on April 17, 2011 under LAO News with No Comments »

Just hearing or reading the word Dreamtime may conjure up surreal images of a utopian world where everything is just as it should be. But what does this word really mean and where did it come from?

Rather, this evocative term was coined by early anthropologists to represent the entirety of Aboriginal mythology, law, and … [ Read the Rest... ]

Mark is raising funds on Kickstarter.com to help complete his new CD. The new album titled “Little Sun” is a collection of songs inspired by the life of Dingo whom some of you may have met.

Last night the phone rang shortly after closing time and the person on the other end asked “Do you sell didgeridoos… and where are you located?”. After conforming the address, the person on the other end said, “…well I guess we are here”. I shuttled out to the shop and greeted three travelers from Japan and their friend from the US showing them around. So it turns out our late night guests included two renowned drummers; Kozo Suganuma and Senri … [ Read the Rest... ]

MP3-Didgeridoo-Music

New MP3 Download Store

Posted on December 31, 2010 under LAO News with No Comments »

After many years of watching CD sales decline, we’ve really wanted to offer the ability to give customers the option of purchasing music as MP3 downloads. There are so many talented didgeridoo artists out there who really deserve to have their material heard, however we couldn’t afford to sit on inventory for extended periods as sales trickled in. As a result our CD section sadly became very limited. Well now the time is here to finally pull our vision together … [ Read the Rest... ]

For those of you who may know, she’s … [ Read the Rest... ]
