Howdy, I am a whistler who needs sheet music to the whistle part in John’s fish and whistle song (I can’t seem to learn it “by ear”). If anyone can help me with this, I would be most appreciative.
Great tune! “Got my first job, I said ‘thank you’ and ‘please’. They made me scrub a parking lot, down on my knees. Then I got fired for being scared of bees, and they only gave me fifty cents an hour”.
Unfortunately, I don’t think you’ll find the whistle break notated anywhere. My advice is to first learn to whistle it with your lips and then work it out with the hardware. Shouldn’t be too tough. Good luck!
It’s in a hard to get songbook:

Just try to learn it by ear. It’ll save you some headaches. It’s a pretty easy little part once you have the right key.
