David's Introduction

Hi, my name is David Siegel. I live at Moshav Kfar Monash near Netanya. I commute by train and city bus each day to study at Talpiot College in Tel Aviv. I am studying to be an English teacher in Israel. For ten years previously, I was a social worker. I have worked with many people from different cultures with all types of problems. Some of the problems, like drug abuse, family violence and homelessness, have resulted from poverty. Being patient, strong-minded and caring helped me to be successful in this profession. I do like working with people and being creative. When I have free time, I play guitar and the drums. To keep in shape, I run, bike,swim and do exercises a couple of times a week. This helps me to feel balanced mentally and physically. I think this runs in my family. Everyone loves sports and working-out. My father, who is a law professor at a university, lives in Boston, Massachusetts. My brother lives on the west coast in Oregon. He is very active, mountain-biking and skiing half the year. He can do this because he runs his own buisness from his home. My mother, who died of ovarian cancer last year, was very active in sports. In fact, she helped herself battle her disease with meditation and yoga for over six years. It has been hard losing my mom, but life must go on. In many ways I am following in her footsteps by studying to be an English teacher. My mother was a Guidance Counselor in a highschool for over twenty years. My family in Israel is my girlfriend named Limor. She and I have been together for five years now. We are planning to get married at the end of my studies this year.

Our topic together - Australia

Anyways, I have listed below for you three summaries of sites that I liked about Australian Aboriginal music. I think you will like them.

1. Mark Mangold http://www.indegorecords.com/players.html In this site you can read about contemporary artists using Australian Aboriginal music in the art of healing and spiritual development. I personally liked the overall presentation of the article. It was very comprehensive and user-friendly. I came away with a lot of information in a short period of time.

2.Joe's Grille Help Page http://www.joesgrille.com/help/detailedsearch.html This site allows you to create a profile in a music genre and see if there are any matches. Perhaps you want a recording, as I do, that features a digeregoo.\ What I like is that you've got the right search, as specific as you want.

3.Digeredoo http://luff.latrobe.edu.au/~gengll/didj.html This is a wonderful site that gives you links to Aboriginal music. You can listen to music, view pictures of instrumens and learn techniques by some of the actual tribes. I personally liked the supplement about Basic Breathing. If you need help to play an instrument, you can check out the Dreamtime Web server to learn how to breathe correctly! We'll that's all for now. I'm working on our shared site and will send you the information summaries soon. I think we should pick one topic, Sydney - the capital city, instead of two. So leave the topic of animals for another time and work only on Sydney, the capital city.
