Swing while you whistle

Whistle
1

Hi all,

founds this little clip on youtube of Jane Rutter Ozzy flute player ( Boehm ) playing a cheapo
Feadog or similar with some swing.

Is it just me or did that look utterly ridiculous???

:smiley: :smiley:

What, David. You don’t swoon with rapture when you play?

4

Oh! All the time!!

It’s the Máiréad Nesbitt / Michael Flatley school of whistling. I want to see her do splits and backflips. Bring it on!

Does show what you can do with a Generation F, though. :wink:

Say what you will about Mairead Nesbitt, watching her will always be preferable to watching some other prancing fiddlers.

Thankfully Ms. Rutter didn’t go well into the upper register to sell the performance. Amusing clip.

I think I just lost the will to live :astonished:

To me,Jane Rutter has always been a monumental pain in the A …
The Flute playing sex kitten … complete with pelvic thrusts and the like .. genuine vomit inducing stuff .. to be sure … :stuck_out_tongue:

Shouldn’t there have been a baton in there somewhere?

The whistle was definately out of place it that setting. Glamorous the whistle ain’t. A whistle should be seen mainly in smokey, dimly lit pubs, on street corners and other salt of the earth places. Well in my mind it does anyway. Certainly not on stage in some sleezy jazz performance. :smiley:

ARRGH. Movement in playing in response to the music when it “just happens” looks good. Movement “pretended to” looks awful. If we could get her on stage with the fiddle player from Celtic Women we could avoid them both at once… Even the playing is pretty pedestrian, perhaps because it is somewhat difficult to do the kind of things that piece really wants playing a whistle. Not impossible at all, but certainly not done in this performance.

To say I didn’t like it would be an understatement. Still, different strokes for different folks.

Hey, What’s the matter with a flute playing sex kitten?

13

I always wondered what happened to Barbarella…

Best wishes.

Or maybe a pole?

15

I’m not aging that well either :sniffle:


I’d go with the pole.

I’m quite sure that she can finger twirl her Boehm.

I don’t suppose they’d be anything wrong with a Flute playing sex kitten Jim :slight_smile: ..as long as she were a GENUINE F.P.S.K. :thumbsup: …But this one is a contrived F.P.S.K. … :frowning:
She apeared on a TV show here in Oz a few years back…draped over a Grand Piano while playing a classical tune her silver Flute and supposedly looking seductive…
Mate,it was bad,bad,baaaaaaaaad stuff…
