Sid, you were talking about Stomping Tom Connors ?  "The Good Ole Hockey Game?"  He sounds a little like Hank Snow, to me.

Ya....that's the guy. As a kid growing up in the North, I saw Tom play small venues quite a few times. His music is etched into our DNA.

Roy Acuff's harmonica guy Onie Wheeler did the very same whistle, right in the key of A.  I'd pay good money to be able to do that.
