17
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:15.359
A Park. Good morning, It's
Tuesday morning, and I'm so thrilled to
18
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.760
be here with you because I love
you guys, and without you, the
19
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.439
show would not be possible. I
want to thank each and every one of
20
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:30.280
you who have supported us by getting
our books. And two of my favorite
21
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.920
books are The Entrepreneur's Garden and Expert
to Influencer The Entrepreneur's Garden. Regardless wherever
22
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:42.599
you are at, wherever in your
life or an entrepreneur or in a corporate
23
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:48.280
it will help you because it helps
you build those nine relationships for example,
24
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:55.280
relationship with yourself, relationship with money, relationship with results, relationship with time.
25
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.359
So that way, it allows you
to live the life you deserve when
26
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.840
create the impact you want. And
now you may be thinking about Expert to
27
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:12.319
Influencer in the background, And it's
not only about building communities. It's not
28
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.319
only about getting the likes, it's
not only about getting the followers. It's
29
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:24.520
about the impact. Because when you
create the impact you create, you create
30
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:31.560
income as a side effect. So
why not have the impact first and income
31
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:37.199
as a secondar effect. And when
you purchase our books, not only it's
32
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:43.319
going to help you. We take
partial profits from the book sales and help
33
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:50.080
entrepreneurs all across the globe through Kiva
dot org. So it's a win win
34
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:55.159
situation all around. I invite you
to spend one hour of your time helping
35
00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:01.240
somebody with no strengths attached every month. Think about it. Even if two
36
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:06.599
hundred million people did that all across
the world, it's two hundred million hours.
37
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:13.199
What could we achieve in that we
could create so much kindness and joys
38
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:22.560
of one onto it. So we
have something very special for you today and
39
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:27.479
we are going to bring in a
cast. Now welcome Pitts. Hi,
40
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.639
did you good to be with you? Thanks for the invitation on the show.
41
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:35.800
Oh pleasure to have you. So
we start out from the childhood.
42
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:40.879
So Pitts, tell us when you
were a child, did you have any
43
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:46.520
moments that left their mark on you
and that you remember even today. That's
44
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.800
a great question. And yes it
has to do with music. I'm a
45
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:57.439
musician and I visited my aunt and
uncle's house and one of my uncles when
46
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:01.039
I was three years old. In
nineteen sixty five, one of my uncles
47
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:06.800
was dancing around in his underwear playing
air guitar to the Rolling Stones Satisfaction.
48
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.360
And I was a little kid and
I still remember it. It was like
49
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.360
wow, and he says to me, He's like, Pitts, just listen
50
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:18.120
to the guitar. Listen to that
guitar. I still remember that today,
51
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.439
and I was like, wow,
music is really powerful. This is my
52
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:28.720
uncle who I love and respect,
and he's dancing around in his underwear to
53
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.240
the Rolling Stones and I was like, so, music is so powerful.
54
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:35.120
It's like wow, I need to
know more about music and maybe that's my
55
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:44.680
life path. And I can definitely
relate to that because music transcends everything.
56
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.759
If you find a good beat,
you may not you know, you may
57
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:53.639
be sitting with people from fifty different
countries, you may not no single word
58
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:58.639
of their language, and yet you
can connect. It brings people together,
59
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:05.079
and it brings the joy. Is
this something about music that can have so
60
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:13.439
much benefits and impact in our lives? And I can't play anything. I
61
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:19.000
cannot say that said. I do
love music, and there's just so much
62
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:25.399
joy and music is something that's so
close and dear too, everyone's heart.
63
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.560
So as you grew up, what
musical instruments were you interested in? Well,
64
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.920
I first played guitar for a little
while, and then I played clarinet
65
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:40.800
for a little while, and they
really didn't stick with me. But then
66
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:46.160
my dad bought me a drum set
for one of my birthdays when I was
67
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.600
about thirteen and twelve or thirteen,
and the drum set was like, Wow,
68
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:55.439
this is this is what I here's
my home, this is what I
69
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:59.839
should be playing. So I played
that for about ten years. Drum kit
70
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.480
and also hand percussion, all kinds
of different hand drums and bells and tambourines
71
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:10.240
and whistles and that sort of thing, just putting the icing on the cake.
72
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.839
Really, So I kind of got
away from the drum set and then
73
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.680
moved on to hand percussion from all
over the world, really different instruments.
74
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:24.720
M So, what was it about
the drums that made you stick with them
75
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:29.319
in comparison to guitar and planet?
Yeah, you know, I just felt
76
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.199
a connection to it. It's like
I'm always tapping my foot or tapping the
77
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:38.480
table with my hand, and sometimes
I drove my mom crazy at the dinner
78
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.800
table. I was tapping away and
she would just grab my hand and stop
79
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.720
me for a few seconds so she
can have some peace. But I just
80
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.519
felt like it was a natural fit
for me keeping rhythm m So, you
81
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:53.759
know, there are a lot of
people who may be thinking like, okay,
82
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.240
So for example, let's say,
if I want to learn a musical
83
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:02.240
instrument, how can I find out
like that connect that's you know, I
84
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:06.560
think it's easier today because of the
Internet. You can just search around and
85
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:13.879
check out different instruments. I think
maybe it would start with like your favorite
86
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:18.120
type of music, whatever artist or
type of music you like. Check out
87
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:25.480
that artist and try to figure out
what instruments are within that ensemble, and
88
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:31.680
maybe that's your direction to a starting
point. HM. That's very true.
89
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:42.279
I actually have single ongo. I'm
not sure what it's called, and I
90
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:47.000
have it in the house and sometimes
I will go and look at YouTube's and
91
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:53.000
just kind of I call it banging. You know. I haven't gotten much
92
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.480
further on it, so, but
I do like the sound of it,
93
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.240
that deep rhythmic sound. Like,
especially since you mentioned about the drums,
94
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.839
what's a good way to bring the
motivation in and get going on it?
95
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:15.160
Get going on a certain instrument.
Yeah, well you'll the person will know
96
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.680
it when they feel it. That's
what happened to me with the drums and
97
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.360
the did you redo eventually? But
I think it's a deep feeling inside and
98
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:30.800
I'm connected to music, and it's
just when you feel it, you know
99
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.799
it, and it's like, oh, there it is. The light goes
100
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:35.840
on in your head. It's like, all right, cool, So that's
101
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.279
my direction right now, let's let's
learn more about that. Ah. So
102
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.600
you're talking about the connection. It's
important to feel the connection and if you
103
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.200
feel the connection, you'll stay with
it. It's okay. So like you
104
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:58.440
moved past the drums, what happened
next? Well, going back to my
105
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:05.360
childhood with tapping and keeping rhythm on
everything, I was always making sounds,
106
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:11.720
different sounds. I love sound effects
on movies and commercials and in different TV
107
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.120
shows. So I was making lots
of weird sounds with my voice in mouth.
108
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:22.200
And one of my cousins he used
to imitate a trumpet with his mouth
109
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:30.279
like he was really good at it. So that got my attention. So
110
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:31.600
I was like, all right,
so where am I going with this?
111
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:37.440
Like I'm not really sure. But
when I first heard the Digity Do in
112
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:43.600
the nineteen eighties, the early nineteen
eighties. That's when that sound grabbed me
113
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.399
like a magnet and pulled me in
and I knew it right away. Mm
114
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.759
So where did you get exposure to
it? Well, there's a movie called
115
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:58.399
The Coca Cola Kid that it's in
Australia, and also and then a few
116
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.399
years later the Crocodile Dundeed movies.
Oh oh yeah, based in Australia,
117
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.480
and you hear the did you do
underneath all these really cool scenes, and
118
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.080
then as like, what is that
thing? I need to know more about
119
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.480
it? And then I found out
what it is, what it's called,
120
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.159
and the Internet was not happening then, so I kind of had to do
121
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:26.720
some organic research in the library and
talking with friends to find out more about
122
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:33.720
the instrument. So just kind of
veering off the topic. How do you
123
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:39.639
find the difference between when you went
to library to figure out things about did
124
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.279
you re do learn more about it
now when everything is available at fingertips,
125
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.360
Well, it takes more time and
more effort. You know, you really
126
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:50.360
you got to get in the car, drive to the library or someone has
127
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:56.799
to drop you off there. You
got to physically search for things and research
128
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.320
in the card catalog and then you
under Australia or did you re do?
129
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.559
If you even know how to spell
that word? So it takes more time.
130
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.600
It took more time and more effort. Then, so it took more
131
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:15.519
time and more effort. M How
did it make you feel once you got
132
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:20.759
the information? It was great,
It was really rewarding. And then I
133
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:26.720
heard a really cool radio special that
featured lots of different types of music with
134
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:33.399
the didjury do so like? And
I was so excited. I called the
135
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.799
radio station and I asked them for
the set list of those songs and the
136
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:43.600
artists and every other information. And
so the guy was really nice. He
137
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:48.759
printed out the playlist for me and
send it to me in this in snail
138
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.960
mail. So about a week later
I got this list of so all right,
139
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.039
cool, I know all these different
artists who feature did youre do?
140
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:00.559
In their music? Now I have
like that was a gold mine of information
141
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.679
for me, of course, so
like, now you have this goal line
142
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:11.200
of information, You have all these
playlist and different names of different artists.
143
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.639
What did you do with it?
Well? Then I started looking for music
144
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:20.279
by those artists and going to a
record shop Hey, do you have this?
145
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:26.240
Do you have that? Or maybe
I could somehow find a world music
146
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.519
catalog and possibly one of those artists
is in that catalog and then purchase their
147
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.720
music and a week or so later
it will come in the mail and then
148
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:41.679
I could really check out and dive
into, dive into that artist music and
149
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.720
when did you buy did you into
and how did you learn it? Well,
150
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.639
here it is my wife who we've
been together for over thirty years.
151
00:12:52.639 --> 00:13:00.879
She's an absolute angel, and she
found a world music instrument mail or catalog.
152
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:07.120
So for on Christmas of nineteen ninety
three, I played the Digredo for
153
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.559
the first time because it was a
Christmas present from my wife Amy, and
154
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:18.559
it came from Australia and it was
a really nice little Digredo. And the
155
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:24.159
really cool thing about that it came
with an instructional cassette, so and that
156
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:30.360
was the days of actual cassettes,
So that's how long it was ago.
157
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.519
But the guy really went into great
detail in describing what he was doing,
158
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.600
and it really really helped me get
the initial sounds and then just different things
159
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:46.240
you can put on top of the
sounds and different techniques, traditional techniques as
160
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:54.559
well as more modern day avant garde
things. The disadvantage was I couldn't see
161
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.440
what he was doing, and I
couldn't ask him questions. So there was
162
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:05.000
a good amount of technique questions I
had that I couldn't ask him that I
163
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.440
had to really figure out on my
own. And some of those things came
164
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:13.120
to me by accident, and sometimes
discovering those things kind of gives you a
165
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:20.279
deeper understanding. It does, and
again more rewarding because I had to work
166
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:28.240
to find that information and on my
own. So yes, absolutely, so,
167
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.879
how did you become good at it? Practice? Just like any other
168
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:37.879
instrument, you gotta put in,
you gotta put in the time. But
169
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.960
for me, it really I didn't
view it or it didn't feel like I
170
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:48.120
was working at it, although I
was because I enjoyed it so much.
171
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.519
And that's the initial drone of the
digity do. I heard that and felt
172
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.240
locked into it. It's like I
want to make that sound? How do
173
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:00.360
I do that? And it took
a while for me to get that sound,
174
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:05.000
but it's practice, practice, practice, And then after playing for three
175
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:11.399
years during that time, I started
making instruments, and after that three year
176
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:16.559
period, I was pretty good on
it, and so then I started going
177
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:22.000
around to craft shows and music festivals
in the craft area and making instruments that
178
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:28.320
I offered to the public. So
I started selling instruments for five years on
179
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:33.879
the craft show circuit. And during
the craft show I'm playing and playing and
180
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:39.399
playing eight or ten hours a day
and demonstrating, talking about the instrument,
181
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:45.159
asking or answering questions that folks had. So during that five year period I
182
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:52.600
got really good. So now let's
say if somebody was an entrepreneur or in
183
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.840
the corporate world, you know,
leaders people, or doesn't matter for that
184
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:03.799
matter, anywhere in anywhere, whatever
they're like retail person or a person you
185
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.440
know, raising kids, It doesn't
matter what they do or what they're What
186
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:12.480
are the few lessons that you learn
from this journey for that could apply to
187
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:18.480
anyone from the Digre Do. Yeah, Well, the dig Re Do calms
188
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:22.840
you down, whether you're playing it
or even listening to it, So that's
189
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:29.200
number one. And if you're playing, you must relax and calm down to
190
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:33.919
get the proper tone. So that's
one benefit or lesson that is learned.
191
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:41.519
And we could all use some relaxation
and a slower heart rate and a slower
192
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:48.600
breath rate. Let's let's explore the
lessons that you learned personally that you you
193
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.360
know, people talk about like,
oh, what are you passionate about?
194
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.879
You found that you were passionate about. You didn't have anybody to teach you.
195
00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:00.360
What kept you going? I just
you know, it sounds crazy,
196
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.039
but I love the sound of it, you know, again going back to
197
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:10.160
my childhood with the different sounds that
I was making, and it was also
198
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:14.599
musical sounds, so I had that
music connection from when I saw my uncle
199
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:19.079
jumping around playing to the rolling stones. So it really it wasn't an effort
200
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:23.960
at all to keep going because I
loved what I was doing. M And
201
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:30.279
you mentioned earlier also that it didn't
feel like work and you found so basically
202
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:40.359
what you're sharing is that if you
know what you love to do, and
203
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.960
then it's not work, and then
you will find pathways. Like so,
204
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:51.400
for example, you figured out just
to learn by the person who was on
205
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:56.160
the cassette without seeing them, and
then just being at it and then becoming
206
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:02.240
a deeper and deeper expert at it, and then also finding a way to
207
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:08.920
make those so all those digrey dues
that we see behind it, you have
208
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:14.400
you made them. Yes, absolutely, Oh they're beautiful, thank you.
209
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:17.920
And so tell us, like,
you know what different types of digrey dues
210
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.480
there are in like what's their origin
and give us the whole story behind it.
211
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:26.880
Sure m well, going back to
the traditional digrey dues in Australia and
212
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:33.319
one let me back up even further. The word didgerido is not an Aboriginal
213
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.400
term. That word was made up
by the first Europeans who showed up in
214
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:42.119
Australia and they made up a name
based on its sound automatopia, didgerido,
215
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:52.000
sospia, automatopia. It's the technique. It's the process of making up a
216
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:57.319
word based on its sound like ba, yeah, automatopia. Oh something new
217
00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:02.680
alone, seeing it's that's bell.
Every day you learn something newer. Yeah.
218
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.400
So, depending on where you are
in Australia, the dig red has
219
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:15.279
about thirty eight to forty different names
that is accepted in the original native communities,
220
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:21.440
and one term that is accepted pretty
much nationwide is the word yadaki.
221
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:27.519
That's y i d a ki yidaki. In some areas of Australia, yidraki
222
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:33.960
means short dig redo or mosquito.
Didjurdo because the dig is like any other
223
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.480
instrument. The shorter ones are going
to be higher pitched and brighter, the
224
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:45.279
longer ones deeper, basier sounding.
So you said about mosquito, did you
225
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:52.160
do? Yeah, that comes from
it comes from imitating the sounds. The
226
00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.640
dig red is a sound effects machine, is the original sound effects machine.
227
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:03.160
Traditionally around the fire nighttime, there's
one person telling a story or singing a
228
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.759
story, and then there's two or
three sometimes four dancers imitating the movements of
229
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:14.720
what's happening in the story. And
then there's one sometimes two did red players
230
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.960
imitating the sounds of what's happening in
the story, mostly nature sounds, right
231
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:25.119
soever, whatever is in the story, the didred player's job is to imitate
232
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:32.640
that sound. And if there's a
mosquito, the didred player makes the mosquito
233
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:37.680
sound effects. So in the shorter
ones are a little bit easier to make
234
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.880
that sound or a little bit more
realistic sounding for the mosquito. Oh,
235
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:47.920
that is so fantastic and phenomenal because
think about it, they're putting on a
236
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:56.440
musical every night and it's a part
of their culture and just embracing storytelling in
237
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:02.880
music and passing it on to the
next generation. Sit So have you ever
238
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:08.640
done storytelling what dig red? Well, I have accompanied stories, and so
239
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:12.839
I'm the sound effects person. And
sometimes when I go to like a retreat
240
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:19.079
center or a university or some type
of presentation, I'll ask someone to read
241
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:26.240
a traditional story and then maybe not
so traditional story as long as it has
242
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.359
all kinds of sounds in it,
nature sounds or even man made sounds in
243
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:34.680
the newer stories. So the answer
is yes, I have accompanied those stories.
244
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:41.000
And it's really nice when someone is
reading aloud and then the dig Red
245
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:45.720
is underneath everything. It's just a
really nice pairing of sounds, the human
246
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:55.240
voice and the instrument. Oh wow, that is amazing because it so.
247
00:21:55.480 --> 00:22:00.799
Are there any specific areas where like
you know the use like and are these
248
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:07.440
culled sound stories? Well? Yeah, the oral tradition it like you said,
249
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.240
it's passed down from generation to generation. Nothing is really written down except
250
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:18.640
artwork does tell stories as well,
So there's there's different ways of passing that
251
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:26.720
on. Oh that's beautiful and where
can let's say, you know, people
252
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:32.680
will be definitely interested after listening to
the show. If people were interested in
253
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:37.319
getting digity dues and learning. How
can they go about it? Well,
254
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:42.400
on my website there's tons of information, so I have some handcrafted instruments that
255
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:49.400
I've made. And also if you're
looking for an Aboriginal Australia made instrument,
256
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:55.599
I have a link there to a
resource in Australia. So yeah, on
257
00:22:55.759 --> 00:23:00.480
my website it's my name dot com. It's Pitts Quatrone p I easy qua
258
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:06.119
t t R O n E Pitts
Quatron dot com. Or you can just
259
00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:15.920
search by Vermont didgerido or Pitts dig
dig d I dge, so you'll probably
260
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:21.000
find that I'm like the first one
hundred things that pop up if you plug
261
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:26.400
in just Vermont Didge, so you
can find me, Okay, fantastic and
262
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.799
so they can find you for sure. And then I'm assuming you also teach
263
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:34.519
people how to play. Yeah,
I've been teaching folks how to play since
264
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:41.160
the mid nineteen nineties and a lot
of my stuff now is on video chat
265
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.160
and I was I've been teaching online
for ten or twelve years, long before
266
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.839
COVID. But it's great because now
the audio is much better, the cameras
267
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:53.880
are much better, So I have
students all over the world and I teach
268
00:23:55.000 --> 00:24:02.079
one on one or group setting in
person or video chat. Oh that's fantastic,
269
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:08.160
definitely, So Pits, let's maybe
demonstrate something. So how about if
270
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:14.079
I come up with some story and
with a nature sound, and can you
271
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:19.720
play along with that? Because that's
something when somebody learns they can do with
272
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:23.359
their families. What do you think
of that? Yes, you mean right
273
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:29.359
now, right now? Okay,
I'd love to do that. With the
274
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:33.400
audio, it may not totally be
in sync, but I have some certain
275
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:40.039
settings that I've locked in and it
should be very good, okay, and
276
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:42.960
you have to lead me through it
where I stop and where the sound comes
277
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:47.559
in. I'm just going to make
up the story as we go along because
278
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:51.799
I'm a storyteller. Storyteller and I
love that. Okay. Are you ready?
279
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.279
Yeah? I'm ready, So to
go? First, do you want
280
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:59.880
to start? Why don't you start? Set the stage and then I can
281
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:41.759
begin the story. I like it. Here we go. That was beautiful,
282
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:48.359
okay. So Mama and Papa Sparrow
are sitting around a fire and they've
283
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:53.480
got like a little little, tiny
little babies, and let's say they use
284
00:25:53.599 --> 00:26:03.000
their beaks like a jackhammer. I
don't want. And now what happens is
285
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:08.079
that when they're opening up the shells, they pack upon the shell and eat
286
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:15.680
the contents. And now sometimes they
may be choosing to sit on a gutter,
287
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.640
and then the noise becomes very similar
to as if somebody's knocking on your
288
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:34.440
front door. Thank you for playing
along. I really appreciate that, Okay,
289
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:40.440
and that cool. Yeah, So
folks, you know those little Mamma
290
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:44.960
and Papa sparrows, mister and missus
Smith. We are going to go and
291
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:51.559
you can have stories, especially with
families and especially if you're out, and
292
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:56.440
especially for family reunions. I can
see so many different possibilities because I'm such
293
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.559
a storyteller. Let's say, if
you're on the beach and you just kind
294
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.000
of embroy in, or even if
you're getting together with a group of friends,
295
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:11.480
this can be such a wonderful thing
to bring the whole social connections to
296
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.799
life, or that social gathering to
life. So we have talked about it,
297
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.279
and you know, like people can
play with it. So tell us
298
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:23.680
how does it help with help in
comparison to any other instruments. Ah,
299
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:30.400
okay, well, I've touched on
it real quickly in order to play properly
300
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:33.799
in the beginning, you must relax, So that's number one. And there
301
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:38.759
was a really interesting study that came
out about fifteen years ago published by the
302
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:48.000
British Medical Journal. They studied a
doctor in Switzerland who found out that playing
303
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:52.279
the dig red it's a physical instrument, So playing the digred really works the
304
00:27:52.480 --> 00:28:00.279
lower throat muscles and as well as
this technique called circular breathing, which allows
305
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:04.599
the didre due player to play continuously
because that person breathes while they play,
306
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:11.200
so using that circular breathing technique and
I can describe that in a minute.
307
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:18.920
All those things really work the internal
muscles in your throat that are usually the
308
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:25.079
problem with sleep apnea, obstructive sleep
apnea. So just yeah, it's a
309
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:33.119
really groundbreaking stuff. So the doctor
had twenty five patients who had sleep apnea,
310
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:38.160
and he brought in a didre dude
teacher and that teacher taught the folks
311
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.599
how to play, and they played
six days a week for about a half
312
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:48.279
an hour a day for a three
month period. So meanwhile, those muscles
313
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.200
are getting a serious workout. At
the end of that time period, there
314
00:28:52.720 --> 00:29:00.880
sleep apnea episodes either totally disappeared or
drastically reduced, because those muscles are now
315
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:06.359
back in shape and they're nice and
straight and strong. They're not flabby and
316
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:12.039
loose and blocking the airway. So
this study, this study was published,
317
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:18.680
and a lot of people it's a
really nice alternative to the seapap machine or
318
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:25.000
other treatments for sleep apnea. So
a lot of people come to me and
319
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:27.240
say, Pitts, I just can't
stand that seapap thing. I don't want
320
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:33.119
to get jaw surgery or all these
other alignment things. Teach me how to
321
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:37.759
play digred to help with my sleep
apnea. Oh, that is so fantastic
322
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:45.440
because you know, without sleep,
Oh, and the day can be so
323
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:49.400
tough. So that's phenomenal. So
tell us about circular breathing. Okay,
324
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:53.960
circular breathing. So and to get
the initial sound on the did red,
325
00:29:55.240 --> 00:30:03.799
I'm flapping my lips nice and loose
and wide open, not tighten pressured like
326
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:11.079
a trumpet player, very loose,
kind of like what a tuba player does.
327
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.000
So is that what is that how
you played? Did you do?
328
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:19.119
That's how you get started? Yeah, that's step one is you flap your
329
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:26.440
lips and it resonates down the digredo
and it eventually creates that initial drone,
330
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:33.359
so that drone is your foundation of
sound. So I'm playing along. Eventually,
331
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:37.279
I'm gonna need air for my lungs, right, And if you remember,
332
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:41.279
like when we were children, we
used to do that song. Yes,
333
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.039
that's a great point because when I
go to schools and teach kids how
334
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:52.799
to play, almost every kid is
a natural did red player. That's what
335
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.119
I found. And it's so cool
because you know, I guess as people
336
00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:59.599
get older and older, they stop
doing that, or the adults kind of
337
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:03.559
like, oh I can't do that, I'll look silly, right, And
338
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:07.079
usually it used to happen when some
kid did not like some of the kid
339
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:11.279
and what they're saying, and they
would just go and go yeah yeah right,
340
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:17.480
or it's the raspberry thing, or
it's the raspberry thing, yeah yeah.
341
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:19.559
So that's how you get started on
the ditch. So I'm playing.
342
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.839
Eventually, I'm going to need air
to breathe. So what I do is
343
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.799
on its way out, I catch
some air in my cheeks, and with
344
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:37.440
my cheek muscles alone, I squeeze
in one mouthful at a time, so
345
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.799
that's forcing the air out of my
mouth. So I'm not actually breathing out.
346
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:48.440
I'm just emptying my mouth chamber with
the cheeks, and that little puff
347
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.880
keeps my lips flapping for just a
second or so. That's my opportunity to
348
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:57.160
breathe up my nose for my lungs. And I'll do it two or three,
349
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:00.640
maybe four times in a row while
I'm playing, because it's just a
350
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:06.559
little bit of air. So here
it is, I'm playing right, gets
351
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:09.880
some air in my cheeks and with
my cheek muscles alone, force it out
352
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:20.359
and breathe up my nose at the
same time, so that that motion that
353
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:23.519
that's the circle. That's where the
name comes from, I see. And
354
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:30.480
it's if you kind of like break
it apart like from did you Do playing?
355
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:35.759
It's such a good way of breathing
where you're pulling in more air and
356
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:40.839
you're building your muscles. Oh that's
amazing. Absolutely, any amount I'm totally
357
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:46.000
convinced any amount of did you Do
Playing is beneficial health wise. But once
358
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:52.799
you start doing the circular breathing,
it gets it catapults. The benefits like
359
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:59.839
expand amplify to great amounts, and
that's what really really helps with getting those
360
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:05.400
muscles internal workout. It's like a
push ups for those muscles. It gets
361
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:10.480
them back into shape, so they're
no longer obstructing the airway. Oh I
362
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:15.000
see. So because they're not in
shape, they obstruct the air wind.
363
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:20.480
That's why people have sleep at near
Yes, that's what that's what this has
364
00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:23.920
all been described to me from medical
professionals. I'm I'm I'm a musician.
365
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:29.720
I'm not a doctor or a healthcare
professional. And but I've seen it in
366
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:34.759
all my students. Even if one
thing I start with right away day one
367
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:37.039
with my students, someone comes to
me a new student, it's like,
368
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:43.079
okay, um, flap your lips
like that, and that's so much fun.
369
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:46.599
You get to do it. It
is a fun it's a fun thing.
370
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:51.319
And what I do ask the folks
is like, okay, do that,
371
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:54.400
and then time yourself and see how
long that lasts. And there's no
372
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:59.839
right or wrong answer. Whether it's
eight seconds, fifteen seconds, doesn't matter.
373
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:04.119
But write that down like Okay,
day one, I went for fifteen
374
00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:07.760
seconds. And then I asked,
and I asked folks to play every day
375
00:34:07.800 --> 00:34:14.119
in practice fifteen twenty thirty minutes and
at the end of the first week do
376
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:22.679
that same exercise of timing your breath
every time that breath is longer. So
377
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:28.880
practice the benefits start happening right away. And this person is not even circular
378
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:32.639
breathing yet, so they're getting getting
warmed up, building up capacity, opening
379
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:38.360
up the airways. And that's only
a good thing. Yeah, and here's
380
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:46.360
the beauty of it that you're enjoying
there it is again yep. Well,
381
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:51.400
your family members maybe like, okay, what is that song you're making?
382
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:54.360
Our noise? You know? Yeah, So, but the better you get
383
00:34:54.440 --> 00:35:00.239
at the instrument, the better and
better the tone and and your technique gets.
384
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:05.639
So hopefully your family members won't mind
too much after of course not of
385
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:08.519
course, a few days or a
couple of weeks. It can be such
386
00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:14.079
a great exercise where you're learning it
with your child. Yes, absolutely that
387
00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:17.079
I love that idea. That's a
really good thing. And so the parents
388
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:23.199
doing it, then the children imitates
that technique and that sound, and it's
389
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:29.000
fun for them and it's also healthy
for both people. It's it's a great
390
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:35.760
way to bond with anyone for that
matter. And so you mentioned about like,
391
00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:37.880
you know, you gave us the
example of one sound like how it
392
00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:44.079
comes out like so do different did
you redues make different sounds? Different tones?
393
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.400
Again, you know it's a musical
instrument. The long ones are bassy,
394
00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:52.440
short ones are higher. So would
you be open to sharing the test?
395
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:54.719
How does a short one sound?
Yeah? Well the one I played
396
00:35:54.840 --> 00:36:01.000
was rather short, but I can
play this other one here. This one
397
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:04.760
is really long. It probably won't
fit the whole thing in the camera,
398
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:24.320
but I'll play here. Wow,
So it's it has That's just amazing.
399
00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:31.320
So what is the signs behind about
the sound? Like? Is it like
400
00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:37.360
a tunnel? That would love to
learn about that. Yeah, Structurally the
401
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:40.679
instrument is a tunnel. It's a
long, hollowed out tree branch. And
402
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:46.360
how these are made traditionally for thousands
of years and a lot of people agree.
403
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:52.679
A lot of music experts agree the
didgerido is the world's oldest musical instrument.
404
00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:57.800
No one really knows how old,
between fifteen hundred perhaps up to forty
405
00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:04.119
thousand years. So how the traditional
instruments are made is there's termites that eat
406
00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:09.480
out the center of a tree limb. Interesting, so when the instrument maker
407
00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:14.440
needs to make an instrument, they'll
go around and look for a termite mound
408
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:20.639
and different types of eucalyptus trees are
around. So if there's a termite mounds
409
00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:25.719
and a tree of eucalyptus tree close
by, chances are those termites have done
410
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:30.960
their work. So what they termites
go underground and they eat their way up
411
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:37.000
the trunk and out the branches of
the tree, and the ditch maker will
412
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:39.719
go around and knock on that branch. You'll look for the termite and the
413
00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:45.679
tree nearby, and then start knocking
on different branches to hear how hollow it
414
00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:50.239
is. And through experience that person
will know like, Okay, this one's
415
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:52.400
ready to go, this one's needs
some more time, or this one might
416
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:57.280
be too far gone. So if
it's ready to go, then that the
417
00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:01.679
ditch maker will cut that branch down
and take it back home and sometimes peel
418
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:07.400
the bark off let its season and
then decorate it, or sometimes the bark
419
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:10.960
is left on it for a nice
natural look. And is that how you
420
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:17.320
get your vote as well? No, I don't. I don't want to
421
00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:22.280
attract any termites to my house.
Yeah, that's what I was kind of
422
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:24.679
thinking that. Yeah, it's one
thing to kind of get it, but
423
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:29.719
the termites insided, how does that
work? Yeah, so what I do.
424
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:34.079
I found this really interesting tree.
It's called Polonia, or princess tree
425
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:37.159
is a nickname for it. It's
a soft wood. It's an invasive species
426
00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:42.719
from Asia, but it grows all
over the world now and the really many
427
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:47.360
different aspects that's really helpful for me
is the first two to three years of
428
00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:54.199
its life, it grows mostly hollow. So yeah, so there's a little
429
00:38:54.280 --> 00:39:00.159
pithy area where the branches come out
intersection, but in between those branches is
430
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:04.679
it's rather it's a hollow tunnel.
So I've learned. I have a really
431
00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:09.920
long drill bit and what I've learned
how to go in one end very carefully
432
00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:15.280
so it doesn't blow out the side
and let that tunnel guide me. And
433
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:19.639
then I'll flip the instrument around and
an approach it from the other direction to
434
00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:23.719
complete that tunnel. Wow, that's
interesting. And when you find your princess
435
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:29.679
trees, well in the I live
in Vermont and they do grow here,
436
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:34.159
although they really it's a little bit
cold for him. So, but in
437
00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:38.840
the United States, all around southern
New England and throughout the mid Atlantic,
438
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:45.480
especially down in like New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, DC, and even
439
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:52.400
further south, it grows to a
full blown tree. So I have different
440
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:58.000
places that folks let me harvest.
In Vermont, it grows in one year,
441
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:01.119
it grows to full height and and
the stock dies. The root ball
442
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:07.599
stays alive, and next year it
shoots out a new set of branches.
443
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:12.840
Oh what a fascinating story about that. So thank you for coming on our
444
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.519
show and sharing. You're welcome.
Thanks. If you were to give the
445
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:20.039
last top two to three tips to
our listeners, what might that be.
446
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:23.760
Well, another thing I'd like to
do is I'm a musician, so I
447
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:28.639
create music. I put the dijury
do in a lot of different musical settings,
448
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:32.119
including my own, like rock,
funk, really fun stuff. But
449
00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:38.039
this instrument has taken me around the
world collaborating with different musicians. So I
450
00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:45.599
really believe that the digur do is
very versatile instrument musically, so I put
451
00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:50.559
it in all kinds of different settings. I'm not an Aboriginal from Australia,
452
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:53.519
and I don't pretend to be.
I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia,
453
00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:59.199
so that's my musical background. So
I played this really old instrument in
454
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:04.199
my music to go background and also
with backgrounds from all over the world.
455
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:08.920
Well, that's awesome because what you're
doing is you're pulling everything together and that's
456
00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:14.920
what needs to happen, and that's
what brings us together as people. Then
457
00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:21.400
we embrace and adopt and adapt to
different cultures and make it mainstream. So
458
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:24.360
that's beautiful. Yeah, thank you, and make it accessible. And like
459
00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:30.280
you said earlier, music transcends all
boundaries. And even if I can't speak
460
00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:36.679
to a person in West Africa their
language, they can't speak mine, and
461
00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:40.920
they're a fabulous musician, we get
together and we can communicate with music and
462
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:45.440
we look over and smile at each
other and yeah, this is working.
463
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:50.480
So it's the great communicator in this
instrument. I owe a lot to it.
464
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:54.800
It's really opened up a whole world
for me and in turn life missions
465
00:41:55.000 --> 00:42:00.880
and a successful rewarding career. Well, it's thank you so much for playing
466
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:07.440

story. Yet now where can again find

you mentioned, you know, sleep
is such an important part and this is
477

a natural way to get rid of
it, and so thank you again.
