GUEST,Paul Hazell Whistling (Human) as a performance inst (38) RE: Whistling (Human) as a performance inst 12 Jun 11


Ronnie Ronalde was - and still is - an amazingly versatile whistler. He used his fingers, tongue and teeth, unlike Roger Whittaker who used just lips, tongue and teeth. Ronnie is in his late 80s now, living in Australia and at the age of 86 released a new CD of how he sounds today. he is singing, yodelling and whistling.

The American country singer Carson Robison was also an accomplished whistler.

In mainland Europe there was a wonderfully versatile singer, yodeller and whistler called Bobbejaan Schoepen. This was pronounved Bobby Yarn Skoopen - he had some records released in USA and canada as Bobby John. You can find video and music of him on Youtube. He had a great voice. He was elected to the Whistlers' Hall Of Fame in the USA a couple of years ago but sadly passed away last year.
