[78-L] WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK

[umashankar]

there was a famous whistler in india, who used to give classical music concerts. he was in the 78 rpm era, and I have to see if there are any records by him.

>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...
>1.  HEARTACHES - Ted Weems
>2.  SWEET GEORGIA BROWN – Brother Bones
>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.
