The Whistling Language of La Gomera
you can listen to the 7-minute piece either at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/silbo_gomero or on my website https://silbo-gomero.com
not that this has any relation to jazz or to piano, but i do like to share my little successes with you folks here.

does it use absolute or relative pitch?
thanks for checking it out.
and thanks to everyone else for listening too.
ps: frank, i tried to send you an email but it got kicked back. please send me a quick note with your current email address.
i remember once in camping in barcelona was a guy with a bird that was
making very similar sounds(wouldn`t surprise me if that was some sort of canary bird),that makes me conjure up a teory that canary birds may have picked up singing from those human whistlers,actually i believe that most of the canaries come from la gomera which i heard is the greenest island of them all
posted email in your room.
