If whistles were outlawed.......

If whistles were outlawed what would be the last ones they would be prying from your dying hands? (limit is 5)

If whistles were outlawed, only outlaws would have whistles.

Whistles don’t play Danny Boy; people do!

A Kentucky Long-whistle … better range. :smiley:

I have heard that there is a new multi-barreled whistle from Jubilee Whistles. Didn’t some guy named Gatling try something like this? The modern version is capable of many more npm (notes per minute).

If whistles were outlawed, I’d be just fine since most people think that I am playing a flute or recorder.

:laughing: Isn’t that the truth though? Seriously 9 out of 10 people call it either a flute or a recorder.

Anyway, they’d never get my Water Weasel.

Well, a recorder would be a fair improvement. A friend of mine told me some days ago that at the end of a gig, a guy got near and asked him:…“that thing…that stick with holes to make nice music, …what is it?”

I’m serious.

I once had a kid ask me “how long have you been playing that shillelagh?” I wasn’t even sure what to say to that.

I’ve finally got our sound guy calling it some form of whistle. It just sounds wrong though when he announces over the sound system “Can we get a level check on the slide whistle?”

I’m working on a new design called a “Gatling Whistle” Great for really fast tunes and can play in 10 keys at once. :boggle:

I fear this thread has not gone the way preacher may have intended.

..is this what it has come to?

Never mind whiat I intended - it was just for fun and what I expected!

Oh and we haven’t even discussed how fast out of the holster, I mean case one can draw (oops I mean unpack) their whistle

Well, one of my whistle cases does have a belt loop on it :wink:
Reach for the sky!

Remember the NWA (National Whistle Association)? I’d love a shirt or bumper sticker that says “They can have my whistle when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers.” Classy.

Call me sentimental, but I’d rather bring a tear to someone’s eye…by rendering a soulful “Danny Boy,” than to…say…SHOOT THEM!!!
Does that make me a bleeding heart Liberal? Sigh…

OK WyoBadger but which whistle will you be holding? which I think was my original question. As in “They can have my (Boisvert D, Burke D, Copeland C, Hoover B) when they pry it from my cold dead fingers”
