Whistling Thursday



When I started this series our friend Ernie told me that Roger Whittaker was a favorite of his father. My dad also liked him and in the 70's he appeared in many TV shows in Germany. So it is only right that he should have his place here in honor of our fathers.


 The Lovin' Spoonful were an American band from the 60's and got great success with their country influenced pop songs. I'm not a big fan of their music but it is always nice to listen to them from time to time because I grew up with their sound.


The next song is by Sananda Maitreya. The name is new to you? I think you will know him as Terrence Trent D'Arby, an American singer. He was very popular with his debut, a reinterpretation of soul music. His star rose as quickly as it fell, possibly due to his overconfidence in placing his records above those of The Beatles.

Thank you very much Walter!! Excellent choice, that and 'Mexican Whistler' were two of my Dad's particular whistling favourites.
