This is just a shameless self-promotion of my whistle tunes on ACIDPlanet, mainly aimed at the newer forum members who weren’t around when they were first posted.
If you listen to nothing else, please check out the multi-track recording of ‘Hector the Hero’ that I did with Mick Woodruff… I’m especially fond of that one.

Sheesh. Finally a non-political, whistle-related thread. … and one offering some excellent music. I’m listening to ‘Hector the Hero’ as you suggested, Gary, and completely understand why you’re so fond of it. I’ll probably be listening to it throughout the day.
Man, this is just what I needed. Thanks, dude.
Best Regards,

Hi Gary, do you have the sheet music to your version of “Hector the Hero”? I really love that tune but haven’t taken the time to memorize it…I may try to while I’m off this week. I checked JC’s Tune Finder but didn’t see a version that looked like yours.
If not, I’ll just have to play yours over and over until I can get it.

Yeah. Hector the Hero -a big favorite of mine, too. Nice touch you’ve got there. I recommend checking out the the history of the man in question–sorry, forgot the surname, but if you’re inclined you can find it by referencing the tune itself. A tragic story.
Mick has the sheet music available on his website, as well as the original mix of the tune.
The sheet music is only off by one note in relation to the version of the tune on ACIDPlanet, but fits perfectly with the version on Mick’s website.

Thanks for the lovely respite. You had my admiration with the Guiness guzzling smiley…
Best,
