This shall be as brief as possible, aimed primarily towards Dale, but also others who may be as huge Brian Wilson fans as he and I. Heard yesterday Paul McCartney and his wife are doing a benefit in LA for their ridding the world of landmines effort and Sir Paul and the legendary Brian Wilson will be performing two songs together…“God Only Knows”, and “Let It Be”.
Gawd, I’d sell my entire whistle collection for a recording of that!!! Well, maybe.

I’m sure there’ll be a CD soon. I doubt that the cost will be anything near that drastic - though I admit that I have no idea of the content of your collection.
The majority of my collection is inexpensive, consisting of full sets of brass and nickel Generations, a couple Oaks, an Acorn and a few Waltons; but I also am a proud of owner of both a nickle and brass Copeland D’s, an Alba, a Howard, an Abell, Thin Weasel, Overton D…
I certainly hope a CD will be in the offing. After more than a year away from whistle playing I find myself again experimenting with several old Brian Wilson compositions trying to find the right ones to incorperate the whistle into.
I’ve tried to play a few Brian Wilson tunes on the whistle. Some are real challenges.
Post your favorite Brian Wilson tunes here.
