... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

The didgeridoo player, the famous William Barton, was one of the reasons I went to this concert. He put on a fantastic show, with two completely different didgeridoos, and Earth Cry came to life for me more than ever before.  :)
