I love to hear good whistling, and I think it's all due to Sainted Father whistling along on Sundays while cooking. My children think I inherited his "get every pot dirty" cooking technique, and they might be right as tonight was homemade chicken noodle soup and homemade garlic cheese biscuits. Most things were nasty after making the soup broth yesterday and then finishing it tonight. Bigfoot said it wasn't fair to come home from practice on a Friday in Lent to the smell of chicken noodle soup cooking!BabySisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817631728719088811.post-69960347079506860082011-04-09T11:03:01.557-04:002011-04-09T11:03:01.557-04:00I would remind you that Snow White "whistled&...I would remind you that Snow White "whistled" as well, not just the seven dwarves. Perhaps it is simply a recollection that even living a happy life, one filled with hard work, did not automatically keep them all safe! (But you are also safe...there is no "whistling complex" in the diagnostic manual for mental disorders).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817631728719088811.post-46665066408125196312011-04-08T22:40:59.818-04:002011-04-08T22:40:59.818-04:00I used to be able to whistle some, but not anymore...I used to be able to whistle some, but not anymore. And I never could figure out the Jack Ryan whistle technique. That was one coach who never needed a whistle with a metal ball in it.<br /><br />The best whistler I have heard is Roger Whittaker, an older gentleman who sings for a living; his best known work was "The Last Farewell" several years back. He has recorded a number of whistling songs, all of which are quite good, and I cannot fathom how he can do it.<br /><br />Ahh...sweet mystery of life!North of 50https://www.blogger.com/profile/07049744141322448254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817631728719088811.post-79542599838724472062011-04-08T09:18:45.078-04:002011-04-08T09:18:45.078-04:00Interesting...a whistling complex!

I'd prefer they keep their music to themselves.<br /><br />I do find myself humming quite a bit though and sometimes without realizing I'm doing it.Equestrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158413388557790135noreply@blogger.com
