  Nice article and video, but: "Eucalyptus, stringy bark and other trees are chopped down and stuck into enormous termite mounds where the termites eat their way out of the log and simultaneously hollow out the instrument, which is then chiseled out, stripped down and sanded to create the finished project."
  
  I'm guessing Tyler didn't say that part.

    I like this part...
    
    "Spencer played with a group called the Wicked Tinkers, a quilt-wearing Celtic jazz quartet"
    
    Quilt-Wearing? :-) Me thinks they meant "kilt"!!! Not to mention the "jazz quartet" part.
    
    Oh well, at least Tyler got some more publicity.

      Yeah... I gave up long ago on the media getting interviews correct. They just don't care about accuracy at all. It was probably about the first time one identified me as "noted deep-throat expert..."
      
      On the upside, most are so lazy that you can send 'em promo material to which they'll take excerpts, add their byline, and print verbatim. So, you can work it so that you have some control.

        Thanks for posting this, Dave. It's good to see Tyler get some recognition. After seeing that video, though, I think I need to practice more.

          That's how I feel after watching you play too, Pam. :)

            Gosh. Thanks, Dave. It's pretty much a life long thing, eh?

  Yeah, I like the part where they describe the Wicked Tinkers as a "QUILT wearing Celtic JAZZ quartet".
  It is true that we used to wear quilts, and for a while it was very exciting. At the jazz clubs where we played, these women would rush the stage and tear our clothes off. At first we thought it was because they wanted to see our hot, middle-aged bods - but then we found out that they just wanted the quilts. That's when we decided to wear kilts instead. ...and we stopped playing jazz, too.
