I’ve posted a few times to this forum, mostly to ask questions about how to keep good care of my whistles.
This time I want to recommend a tune by Jay Althouse, lyrics by Marta Keen–“Homeward Bound”. A recording of solo voice is easily found on the web as well as a slower version sung by the Brigham Young University Singers (with a slideshow someone has put together of soldiers in Iraq). It sounds nice on a traditional D, but especially good on a Bb whistle. It’s easy to learn and easy to play even for relative newcomers like me.
Enjoy!
