Subject: ANOTHER whistle question
Whistlin' Mudcats--
I was privileged to see 3/5s of Cherish The Ladies (2/5s were delayed in transit by Hurricane Dennis) this past Saturday. Talk about coincidence or divine intervention--Wednesday, I find out that CTL will be performing at a small festival 30 minutes from my house, and Thursday, my Copeland D arrives.
OK, so I'm all geared up for Joanie Madden and inspirational whistling. What a great show! The woman is phenomenal! I have the time of my life watching/listening to her.
So I buy her Song of the Irish Whistle CD (the ONLY choice available in the Band Merchandise tent) and I've been listening to it over and over and over and....you get the idea. On one track, Ms. Madden plays, according to the credits, "air whistle". It's eerie and ethereal--a whisper of a whistle. A google of "air whistle" turns up a bunch of sites selling Federal Cunningham sirens for fire trucks and the like, and I can't believe that's what she's playing, SOOOOOO
