MARCELLUS -- It was love at first sound for Sara Johnson, of Marcellus. It was the first time she had heard the word didgeridoo. It was the first time she had heard that Olivia Newton John song. It was a happy song and it stuck in her mind.
"I'm sure I was the only little girl in Parchment, Michigan that felt that way about that song," explained Johnson as she pulled out a long, brightly painted wooden tube.
"I think the name of the song was 'I'll Bet You a Kangaroo' and the words say 'someday we will dance to the music of a didgeridoo'. I heard that song and I wanted a didgeridoo. I didn't even know what a didgeridoo was! I just liked the way the word rolled off my tongue."
