"Here he is, the world's greatest whistler... Yes, Ronnie Ronalde has made a career of whistling, plus being a hit singer and yodeller to boot. Starting his career in the 1930s, by 1945 Ronalde had his his own BBC Radio show and received so much fan mail, extra secretaries had to be employed to deal with it. Weekly TV and radio shows and a series of hits on the EMI label including 'Mocking Bird Hill', 'Beautiful Dreamer', 'In A Monastery Garden' and 'If I Were A Blackbird' made him a million seller in the pre-Beatles age. Such was his success in the US in the 1950s, he was even seen as serious competition to Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby. Ronalde has now retired to New Zealand and named his home Whistler's Lodge, but still makes the occasional personal appearances. If you need any more recommendation than that, well... go and whistle."^^xsd:string2
