Dazedinla's Humble Opinions
OK, here are the usual caveats:  Im not an expert whistler.  I dont own a million whistles.  I dont know a million tunes, and I certainly couldnt play them if I did.  I havent been to a million sessions and I havent heard a million IrTrad recording artists playing authentically.

So, despite all these things, I do have some opinions about some of the issues raised for the beginning whistler.  Since opinions are like nuclear waste (you have to put them somewhere eventually, and when you do you must do it carefully)   I will handle them the same way nuclear waste is usually handled:  I'm putting  them in an enclosed container (i.e. this page) dumping them in the back lot  and hoping like hell nobody digs them up and gives me a hard time about it.  So, here we go:
