I know this is not totally didge related, but we gotta share this anyway

And the beginning of its new journey:

Last night (9/22/08) we were preparing to do some studio work, when Tessalin (our keyboardist) came in and proclaimed "there's a huge box on your porch!" I knew right away what it was, and that feeling was confirmed when I gazed upon the words "Pantheon Steel Drum Company."

We put aside the planned on projects and began to create a song honoring the "lost hang journey." Perhaps being behind on the "Brain Massage III" album was because it was meant to be.......and what an amazing feeling to have this wonderful instrument back home from going missing on June 24, 2005.

We can't say enough about what a fantastic job Kyle of Pantheon Steel did in returning the instrument to as good or better sounding than it ever was. Not only that, Kyle is a true humanitarian, not charging a cent for his fine work. We are so grateful for all those who have been a part of the amazing journey that this instrument has been on. Also, humanitrians Ron Kravitz, Cameron, Sherri and especially Adam who was immediately willing to help facilitate the return......and others whom we have no knowledge of but were a part of the chain of events.....even Mickey Hart whose concert brought the right people together at the right time, and whom we had had the honor of meeting and playing with/for a few years earlier, rounding out the magical synchronicity of the hang journey.

The lost Penta E hang is home and it will be singing a special song very soon.

Cheers,

Per & Eileen
