warming the whistle...
I suddenly discovered a very effective way to keep my whistle warmed up and ready to play. You guys don't have the option, unless of course you are into cross-dressing. I suppose a turtle-neck will make it more difficult, but the crew-necked shirt last night afforded ready storage, reasonably effortless extraction, and some degree of concealment (whatever that's worth). I can't for the life of me understand why this didn't occur to me before. Although, I suppose there were those who were even more convinced I'd finally gone 'round the bend, and off the brink.

that reminds me of the time I kept a recorder in my armpit to keep it warm before I played it in the recorder choir in church. The traditional Unitarian Universalist joys and concerns had few people and short comments, so when I was up front I made an aside I was keeping the instrument warm; the instrument under my arm was not there out of eccentricity on my part. One of my fellow recorder players pointed out that just playing the recorder was a sign of eccentricity in and of its self.

A lot of times, I keep my high d whistle up my sleeve during winter months. Keeps it warm and close by in case a tune comes up that I can play along with. Other times, since ussually I am wearing a kilt, (OK I ussually have a GHB at the local jam) I just place it in the waistband. So any other ideals that you might come up with similar would probably work.

Sometimes I'll keep a whistle warm by keeping it under my beer gut when I'm sitting. Sometimes my armpit. Probably keeps people from wanting to play them...probably works in reverse for you and your crewneck annie

At last weekend's tionól, wandering from room to room for the 4 simultaneous sessions, an assortment of D and C whistles tucked into the front of my pants beneath my sweater stayed warm and handy. Of course, seeing the bulge, a friend declared, "Is that a whistle in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?"
Annie, do you also keep low whistles, er, handy? That could be pretty spectacular.

Naw Annie, it's not the " seen one seen em all " routine with those. It's more "seen one, wanna see em all"anniemcu wrote:Somehow i think the 'attraction factor' is um... well... sagging in direct proportion to gravity's cumulative effect on aging body parts. .. though my hubby wisely assures me otherwise.Flogging Jason wrote:*smack's self in forehead*Steamwalker wrote:Oooo, kinky!

This got me to thinkin'
I was thinking, you could stick it in your ear if you've a hollow head.
Then I was thinking, you know those Arrow Though the Head comical things you can get?
Wouldn't it be fun to have a Whistle Through the Head thing for sessions?
