I’ve just been listening to radio margarittaville at,

This is Jimmy Buffet’s website where they play his music and others,
I was enjoying a nice waltz called “False Echos” and thinking this would be a good one to play whistle to when up starts a whistle. Nice song if you get a chance to hear it.
Anyone else run in to some pleasant whistle surprises?
Found one in a Lord Peter Wimsey mystery called Murder Must Advertise. How it is involved in the story is almost too extraordinary to describe. I’m not going to try, beyond explaining that the song played is “Tom, Tom, the Piper’s Son” and it is played in a dark forest to a drunken girl by an under-cover detective… Really, read it, it’s mesmerizing.

And when they did this as a TV series with Ian Carmichael back in the 70’s, they did this scene! It was too dark to see what he was playing though, maybe a Clarke or Generation…Wimsey was dressed as Harlequin at the time!
I got the whole set on video, from the Past Times shops.
I was thinking of this earlier this week, for the whistles on TV & Film thread!
I was listening to one of the ‘direct music channels’ on my TV cable last night, and was pleasantly shocked to hear a guitar/h.dulcimer/low and soprano whistle combo. New Age-y, easy to listen to but not command attention.
In the movie The Rookie, there were definitely whistles. I thought that they were flutes at first, but the tone and ornamentation led me to believe that they were whistles…

Cool… I’ll have to drop hints to the man around birthday time… I’ve been hoping PBS would air the Wimsey films but they may have, for all I know.

“Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? You just put your lips together and… buy 30 cheap whistles, over-tweak them, then buy a Rose and sneer at Susato and Clarke.”

The husband has been into macho movies all week. We’ve gone through Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson. Friday night was Sean Connery in “The Rock”. We’ve seen it before, can’t say it’s a really great movie. Near the end Connery pulls Nicolas Gage out of the San Francisco bay and some whistle music starts up. Be 'bout the best part of the movie.
