didgeridoos

Gerry began making didgeridoos once he came back to Lunenburg after Odyssey 2000.

It began when he helped a blues musician named Guy Davis make one out of black plumbing tube while Guy was staying with Gerry and Judith during Lunenburg’s annual Folk Harbour Festival.

After that, Gerry started collecting small trees that had been cut and left at the side of the roads. He’d spot them while cycling, then go back with the car and get them. Those Nova Scotia trees would become didgeridoos for family and friends all over the world.
