[78-L] WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK

[David Lennick]

There's a full version of the Andy Griffith Theme on Capitol CDP 7 98476-2-4, 
"Andy Griffith/American Originals".

What, no mention of Al Jolson's "Swanee"? No "Whistler And His Dog"? (78 
content--the mid 20s version by Pryor's Band is whistled by Billy Murray and 
Margaret McKee.)

Other whistled themes.."The Whistler", and there's a Tommy Dorsey version.

>> A good question for the list on a slow day.  Just for fun I’m trying to come up with a playlist on my iTunes of the Top Ten instrumentals-with-whistling records, no vocals.  They don’t have to be on 78, but I have 8 already and most of them are.  I’m not looking for the most obscure recordings you can think of, because I probably won’t be able to find a copy.  Here are the 8 I have so far...

>> 3.  MARCH FROM THE RIVER QUAI – Mitch Miller 4.  THE HAPPY WHISTLER – Don Robertson 5.  THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY – Leroy Holmes 6.  BIG NOISE FROM WINETKA – Haggart and Bauduc 7.  I WAS KAISER BILL’S BATMAN – Whistling Jack Smith 8.  THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY – Hugo Montenegro Any other suggestions?  Just two to go.  I could use the ANDY GRIFFITH THEME but it is so short, I’d rather not.
