The Ghost Songs
5 May 2007

The community is abuzz. A new song has been received by the elder, Marjorie
Bilbil, and everyone's talking about it. The ghost of a much beloved didjeridu
player gave it to her in a dream, just a few days ago. It's the first new song
for Cox Peninsula community Belyuen in several years. Rare for a woman to
receive a song, rare for her to sing it, I sit on the dusty concrete 
veranda at
her camp, and she performs for my microphone.
