NAME:
[…] on an unforgettable day in October 1960, I watched David Greybeard along with his great friend Goliath, trying to fish for termites with grass stalks. Recalling this time so far away, I relived the emotion I felt when I saw David reach out, pick up a blade of grass. wide and trim it carefully so it could be pushed more easily into the narrow entrance of the termite nest. He wasn't just using grass as an instrument – in fact, by modifying it so that fit for a special purpose, was demonstrating the crude principles of making the instruments.
