Perhaps the most prominent whistling record is Billy Murray's version of
The Whistler And His Dog" on Victor records.

More recently there was a whistler named Ron McCroby. 4 albums on Concord
Jazz,
numerous TV appearances, but his day job was in advertising. I hadn't
realized
that he'd died in 2002.

>> A good question for the list on a slow day. Just for fun Iâm trying
to come up with a playlist on my iTunes of the Top Ten
instrumentals-with-whistling records, no vocals. They donât have to be
on 78, but I have 8 already and most of them are. Iâm not looking for
the most obscure recordings you can think of, because I probably wonât be
able to find a copy. Here are the 8 I have so far...
>> 1. HEARTACHES - Ted Weems
>> 2. SWEET GEORGIA BROWN â Brother Bones
>> 3. MARCH FROM THE RIVER QUAI â Mitch Miller
>> 4. THE HAPPY WHISTLER â Don Robertson
>> 5. THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY â Leroy Holmes
>> 6. BIG NOISE FROM WINETKA â Haggart and Bauduc
>> 7. I WAS KAISER BILLâS BATMAN â Whistling Jack Smith
>> 8. THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY â Hugo Montenegro
>> Any other suggestions? Just two to go. I could use the ANDY GRIFFITH
THEME but it is so short, Iâd rather not.
