I’ve been interested (obsessed?) with whistling for a very long time and finally got to write about it here - even in a short form. My father was a fabulous whistler and so were his brothers. whistled an awful lot and so did his brothers. I have always loved a whistle and taught myself to whistle on the out-breath and also on the in-breath. One of my favourite things to is whistle at birds and I am probably never happier than when they whistle back. It doesn’t happen much.
There I was trying to drag myself away from the computer and to bed and then started reading this. Refreshing Chris and a rolling read! The whistling is really something. I'm going to listen to your pandemic-jazz tomorrow. Load'a stuff on there that I've never heard of before so it'll be a magical mystery tour! Love Primal Scream though... Ta muchly
What a lovely surprise. It took me away from the hum drum of lock down and the drag of keeping in touch via social media (and the weird habits that forms) to some unexpected places. Thank you, so much.
my dad was a whistler too, but since Guillain barre, then a stroke, he finds it hard. It's an eternal disappointment to me that I can't whistle. Henry can though, so I'm going to take credit for that (like I do with his surfing). You, Johnst, are an excellent whistler. p.s. love these stories.
