That piccolo post from last week has had me thinking about silly instruments. So today I ordered a quality, metal SLIDE WHISTLE!

My goal is to master this ridiculous instrument as quickly as possible and regale you all with holiday tunes in the weeks to come.

I swear to God, it can't get here soon enough.

And as an added bonus -- musicians always get the chicks! It may not be the most manly instrument, but I don't think that matters. I'm just excited to get this thing in my mouth and start sliding it up and down.
