Whistling Past the Graveyard

A gloomy morning, and I'm still recovering from my wild night of owl and moth fun with Dick and Judy (see below) - so, while I gather my scattered thoughts, here's a chap to cheer us up, one who has truly mastered his art. Wittgenstein was a very fine whistler too, with entire Mozart symphonies in his repertoire. Nobody whistles much these days...

  2. 'Tis a glorious day here -- sunny and temperate -- so of course I have to go to work. I work so few days during the summer, yet they always seem to be the perfect days for a walk or a bike-ride or gardening or hiking or swimming or playing frisbee with the dog.....

    I really don't like gainful employment, at least, not where I have to go somewhere between this hour and that, spend several hours at a desk, doing something someone else needs. I believe this means I cannot really be an American. I'm more like a Jamaican.

  3. Susan, beware of hippy tendencies, they lead to pimples.

  4. Mozart's Symphony No.40 is one of my favourite whistling pieces, especially sticking in a Ronnie Ronalde twizzle in the middle.
