You have to actually highlight the link - http://members.shaw.ca/dvdguy/busker.wmv
- right click on it, select "copy" NOT "copy shortcut" and paste it into the address bar of a browser. It does work.

I tried that too. Once I click enter/go it seems to open up a Netscape page, at least thats what the icon looks like in the address bar. At the top very top of the page where the minimize buttons are it says busker.wmv(video/x-ms-wmv Object) but the regular screen is just blank.
Maybe I am doing something wrong, or maybe this link doesn't want to open in my browser.(Mozzila Firefox)

Open it windows media player. That is open up WMP, the click the FILE and open URL. Then paste it in that box. Then it works.

Sorry, I guess I just assumed everyone knew how to play WMV files.

I wonder what it would sound like hooked to the outlet of a shop vac, with a suitable vibrato device?

More specifically - how loud it would be, thus how many neighbors I could upset and at what distance...

Ok, here we go

Blow your cheeks out, and breath out keeping your cheeks extended. Just to get the feel of breathing out with your cheeks extended.

Puff your cheeks up and open your lips slightly, letting air escape through the lips while breathing normally with your the nose. By manipulating your cheek muscles, maintain an air stream for three to five seconds.

Get a straw, and place it in a glass of water and repeat with the straw in the water. You should be able to create enough force to create bubbles in the water. Repeat until it feels normal.

While the air is being forced from the cheeks, breathe in and out quickly and deeply through the nose. While the cheeks are still slightly puffed out, begin to exhale through the mouth and empty your lungs.
Attempt to keep the air stream and bubbles as constant and even as possible. Repeat several times until you have perfected it.

Repeat again but this time do not empty your lungs. As your lungs start to empty puff out your cheeks, breath in quickly and deeply through the nose. After a small amount of air has been inhaled, close the soft palate and "switch back" to air used from your lungs blowing air out through your moth.
Repeat several times. This is the process that is used while circular breathing.

Place the didge at your mouth. Play a monotone, using the above process, see how long you can hold this tone for.

Once this has been perfected you shoudl be able to go on to varying your pitch as well.

Good luck

Thanks for the explanation.

Have you accomplished this yourself? If so, how much practice did it take?
