Over a decade ago, I learned to play Yidaki from Stephen Kent in a small music store while visiting San Francisco, which forever changed my life and gifted me in ways too many to count or express in words. The music of David Hudson and so many others has touched my soul likewise. My most treasured artifacts are four Djalu original Yidaki designs, handcrafted by the master himself. They play like no other I have yet experienced. Djalu is a living treasure, his life and skills gifted to the world, and his talents beyond compare. From the depths of my heart and soul, I give thanks and praise for Djalu and his life, and the incomparably wonderful gifts he has given me over the years.

Although I strongly support the film's creation, the title requires a tiny asterisk. That asterisk is "except me".
