Here's a little ditty that Mathias Hagenah (Matzy)
sent us from Germany. It's called 12th September (click)
This is the note that came with it:
I just recorded a song I found on You Tube
with the new Superior.
It´s originally by Xavier Rudd and I didn´t
play it 100 % good.
Though I had no Didgeridoo (like in the Original)
I tried my self in a kind of Hosoo Singing.  :) 
Nice Guitar.
