I just had a major brainstorm…
You know how people have signs that they put on their doors when they go somewhere? The ones that are like “gone fishin’” or “out riding” ect.??
Well, why not one that says “Out Whistling” with a little stylized thing of Kokopeli or something?
We should put that on the “list of things that whistlers want for Christmas” list.
I want a whistle rack for the rear window of my pickup truck.

Just don’t use any unique Mexican whistles.
Yup.
I saw a picture this morning of a Jewish version of Kokopelli (it was a pendant). At first glance I didn’t notice the difference, but on closer examination it sported a hat like the Hassidim wear, and a prayer apron with the Star of David. It made me wonder what an Irish version would look like. Somebody should come up with what a quintessential Irish whistler would look like if it were shaped in general like Kokopelli.

Do they make them circumcised, btw? I was just wondering…

Many of the Kokopelli drawings you see in New Mexico are in a very Celtic-looking “woven cord” pattern already.
Hey, that’s a good Idea…
as soon as I can draw up a pattern, I’ll post it…
If I can figure out how, that is…
I always thought kokopelli was neat…
So I stuck him on my leg.
cool. 
whow, that’s the nicest tattoo I’ve ever seen.
Thanks Such is the depths of my woodwind obsession.
However, you should be aware that the kokopelli on my leg isn’t a super-true-to-legend representation. In most every indian legend I could find, Kokopelli is a hunch-back…on my tat, he’s just got a little swayin-to-the-music curve to him.

One prominent theory is that it isn’t a hump, but a pack carrying his goods, meaning that he may have been a wandering trader who played.

It could be that both theories are true. Years of wandering about the countryside carrying a heavy backpack are bound to produce some problems with posture.
So did the little Keith haring tattoo-thing work? Was it a babe magnet? no pain, no gain. Kokapetletelti my @#$.
Yes, packing a sack of whistles all those years gave him back problems. (He suffered from WhOA.) I have back problem from playing Les Pauls.

Gary, those are good!!
Well, there’s a reason my tat’s in extreme close up. It’s WAY up on my leg…if you can see it in person, some other babe magnet has already worked
