July 27, 1972 - Tierlul - I am recording a fine young (about 12) singer, Nyigwo Nyang as he sings love songs accompanying himself on a gallon gasoline-can being used as a drum. The men are sitting around watching me, this stranger, with his microphone and recorder - they have never seen anything like this before. When the tape runs out, I play it back so everyone can hear to their delight as Nyigwo sings and plays again on the tape. Day after day for 6 weeks, I did this over and over as musicians came to sing and play.
