"COME SEE ME AS GUEST ARTIST IN CONCERT TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14!
I have been invited to perform as a solo guest artist with the Mendelssohn Glee Club, Tuesday, December 14 at 7pm at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd at 240 East 31st Street.
Tickets are free! All the info is on the attached flyer. I recognize that not everyone is near enough, mobile enough, or just available; but I wanted to share this fun news item with you!
You'll enjoy seeing a men's glee club do its thing in addition to my whistling several favorite numbers! And there's a reception afterwards! Please let me know if you're able to attend so I can give the organizers an anticipated headcount. Hope to see you there!"

Hello fellows. I want to share this crazy video. Here I am whistling "The Song of Ocarina" in four different ways.

Some of you guys gave me some inspiration for this: Aina Ziordia and Dan Tuite from your great multi-voice whistling videos on YouTube.
