Whistlers
Convention
I have just returned
from the International Whistler's Convention in Louisburg, North
Carolina, and I am happy to report that although I didn't win the
competition, my experience there was very rewarding. While the
winners were technically agile and had a good sound, at the end of
my performances, especially on the classical pieces, the audience
nearly jumped out of their seats with whoops and cheers. I thought
wow, this is great; maybe I'll win.
But what was even more
gratifying than winning, was that people came up to me and said how
moved they were; some to tears, and that they had never heard
whistling like that. The winners were very generous with
theircomments as well. I was moved myself by the response,and
I realized that I have something special to offer.
So it's great to be back! And
here are some upcoming events where I'll be performing.
Saturday, May 14, Prineville "Walkin'
the Arts" with Allan Byer at the Robin's Nest, 1:30 to 5 pm.
See you there!
