I love Potter Puppet Pals! Have you seen the live musical broadcast? Bother!

Next thing you know there'll be extreme dish washing...

Top comment I get when I pull out my whistle: "What, that AGAIN!?"

A couple years ago I fell in love with the Lord of the Rings movies, and in turn, the soundtracks. For awhile I was content to assume "Concerning Hobbits" was played solely on flute, but once Return of the King came out, I realized that there was an instrument known as the tin whistle. I f...

Ok...two guys are up on top of a building at a rooftop bar. They've both had several drinks. One says to the other, "I'm going to jump off this building." The other guy laughs, thinking he's not serious. So the first guy goes over to the side of the building and jumps off. A few seconds la...

If either of the whistles are still available (especially the C), I'm very interested. Will pay of course .

This whistle is calling to me, saying "play me...play me...I sing ever so sweetly...". I only have a grand total of three whistles and on my modest jobless budget I don't think any new ones will be coming soon. I would sit and stroke it and play it until it was very happy. I will bring my ...

In the version of the Pied Piper I know they were also cats and frogs as well as rats and children...I think, that may have been another tale though. Shel Silverstein wrote an excellent poem about the tale, very somber for him. It was called "The One Who Stayed". I grew up on slightly wate...

Excellent story. It reminds me of one of those stories that you're told by someone who hears it from someone who heard it from a guy in India...I'm sure you know the kind. Anyway, nice story.

My dog rarely lifts his head when I whistle, but he did howl along with my trumpet a few years ago. I'm still trying to figure that out. As to whether or not key matters, maybe different breeds vocalize on different keys. My dog's a mutt and he howls when I play a Bb instrument. If only I could get ...
