This review is from: Leo Eide, 'The Living Flute': Whistling Virtuoso (Audio CD)

I ordered this cd as inspiration for my African Grey parrot. (no kidding) I adopted him a couple of months ago and his first family taught him some basic tunes. I ask you, how many times do I have to hear the 'wolf whistle'? While he's hopefully absorbing some new, more challenging tunes, I'm enjoying listening to familiar scores whistled, accompanied by a piano.

Leo Eide will be remembered as one of the greatest whistlers of all time. I cannot recommend this album highly enough.
