Whistling Rock Tunes

I love whistling rock tunes - any kind - rock n roll, hard rock, heavy metal and the like. It's really a lot of fun and can be intense :-). Here's me trying out "Highway Star" by Deep Purple - from their "Machine Head" Album.

Then I sent the same reply to "mail@whistlersnet.com" and it also bounced back to me. If you care for a reply, would you please send me a working email address. Apparently you have a working email address for me. Thank you.

I'm 69 and I've been whistling since I was a kid. I thought I was pretty good until I heard other whistlers competing at a whistler's convention on a TV documentary, "PUCKER UP," I believe it was titled.

So it's nice to be a member of this website where everyone can "get together" to hear and enjoy.

I've been whistling for a long time and I thought I was pretty good until I found some of these REAL whistlers. So it's nice to see a place where everyone hear and enjoy :)

You have some amazing chops (although a little too close to the mic on the recording), particularly on the fast stuff! Your energy and endurance are truly impressive. Don't know how this genre would go over at IWC, but I think you are pushing the envelope with some elements in whistling that others aren't even working on, so you're making a meaningful contribution to the artform. As a researcher on whistling, one of the things I appreciate most about whistlers is how they will adapt the basic instrument to so many different styles and cultures and things they want to express. You have added to the range for this instrument in an important way. Keep up the good work!
