WHISTLING: A DYING ART FORM?

WHISTLING: A DYING ART FORM?

TULSA, Okla. (Wireless Flash) – Tomorrow (Aug. 31) marks the beginning of “National Whistling Appreciation Month” – and it couldn’t come any sooner for one whistler who fears it’s a dying art. Whistling enthusiast Robert Stemmons – who is better known as “The Whistler” – says whistling was especially popular in the early 1900s, but, these days, music fans are whistling a different tune. Stemmons says there are only about 20 performing whistlers left in the world, but he hopes Whistling Appreciation Month will change that by making whistling more popular with kids.
