Launch note I compiled these pages to fill an apparent hiatus. I do not regard myself as particularly qualified to be a lead lagophonist but so far as my surfing could find, no one else had attempted to explain what lagerphones were and what they did. Since I first launched it I have received several responses which have enabled me to expand my offering but I still regard it as only partial. If you have lit on it via a search engine I do advise you to take it with caution. It cannot yet be considered either authoritative or comprehensive. Indeed it is probably no more than a small offering from a large and richly varied subject. If you have come to it from a music link I would much appreciate a message (the letter box may wobble, but it does work) stating your point of view. And particularly so if you could direct me to any sources I may have missed, or supply any material - words or pictures - about lagerphones. Meantime, is anyone coming to the National Folk Festival in Canberra next month? If so, would we be interested in a lagerophonic (?) get together? At Majors Creek last October we had an impromptu workshop and that was fun - I would be most willing to lead another if anyone is interested. |
