I am currently listening to Herb Pattens wonderful cd to accompany his book "How to Play the Gumleaf". Playing songs from Jingle Bells to Frère Jacques then on to Australian bird sounds from the E.Whipbird through the Swan, the Australian Magpie, King Parrot to the Cockatoo. Made my old cat complain even more than the sound of bagpipes. Here he is on the ABC.
