🎶 Whistle Wednesday #12 🎶
This week I'm diving into some Highland energy with the jig Miss Campbell of Shinness a tune from Capercaillie’s legendary album Sidewaulk. One of my all time favourites. Hope it brings a smile and a little bounce to your day.

🎉 Whistle Wednesday #10! 🎉
Double digits, baby! And what better way to celebrate than with two whistles and a bit of Southern Rock?

This week I’m taking on the Allman Brothers Band’s Jessica.
