I thought I posted this earlier, but I don't see it..if it is a duplicate forgive me. One night about 15 summers ago (geez, was it really THAT long ago? I'm getting OLD!) some buddies got a snootfull, and they decided it would be fun to have a midnight whistle blow. I thought it sounded GREAT!!!... some neighbors were less appreciative and sicced the gendarmes on us. :( I've taken a bit of ribbing because I keep rotating the whistles on my engine. I usually have 3 or 4 on it during show season, but one year as many as 6. (The fellow who oned it before me had 12 on a manifold, but it starts looking a bit like a calliope with that many ;) ) This summer, just for giggles, I even had a steam horn off a tugboat on it for a while. (I mostly sell off those I don't like and buy others... I currently own 11, including two which are trade bait, and one which is waiting for a new bell.) If I had to pick 3 "favorites" it would be the 5" 3-chime Lonergan, the 3" 3-chime Buckeye, and the weird homebrewed "Mockingbird" I got off ebay last summer for about $60. Our local club is planning to hold informal whistle blows on the Sunday afternoon of all 3 shows next season. It will give people who own whistles, but don't have an engine, a chance to blow the spiders out.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
