Sticky and Sweet - It�s all about the music whistle!

Lauren Bacall delivered an unforgettable line in her breakout role as "Slim" in 1944's�movie blockbuster To Have and Have Not:

�You know you don't have to act with me, Steve (played by Humphrey Bogart). You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and ... blow.

Our newly released song, �Sticky and Sweet,� does exactly that by featuring an instantly memorable whistle hook (thanks to Laurie!) with an upbeat and playful vibe offering good time sing-along lyrics and classic playful harmonies. Best of all - it�s just in time to kick off your summer holiday season!�

�Sticky and Sweet�� - join us on a romantic holiday escape as you listen to the cheerful acoustic island sounds of a ukulele a la Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson and Israel Kamakawiwo?ole.�

�Sticky and Sweet,� a�whimsically upbeat �loving song of new beginnings with its gentle whistling intro, Kole�s baritone ukulele, finger-picked guitars and Raveis� soothing vocals & playful harmonies. It inspires feelings of vacationing on tropical beaches as you lay out in the sun with a cool drink while a soft breeze blows over you.

BONUS WHISTLING SECTION:

Whistling has been featured in a number of classic tunes, here are some of the most memorable:

"Whistle While You Work" is a song with music written by�Frank Churchill�and lyrics written by�Larry Morey�for the�1937�animated�Disney�film�Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs


�The Bridge on the River Kwai� Soundtrack � �Colonel Bogey March� (1957).

(This is the�tune whistled by British POWs in the 1957 film about life in a Japanese prison camp. It serves as a symbol of their defiance and optimism in the face of adversity. The repetitive whistle is a true �ear worm� and it is almost impossible to resist joining in the fun! (True story - my dad was actually held as a Dutch prisoner in this camp during the war).


Otis Redding � "Dock of the Bay" (1968)� Recorded just days�before Redding�s death in an airplane crash in 1967, this song topped the R&B chart when released the following year. A breathy, imperfect whistle ends the song and sounds casual and unselfconscious, as if blown to while away the time.

"Don't Worry, Be�Happy" by Bobby McFerrin was the first a cappella song to reach Number One on Billboard's charts. (1988)

Whistling opens the�soulful, acoustic single �Patience� released in 1989 by Guns N' Roses. Frontman Axl Rose does the whistling.

A fun tune by Noah and the Whale, "5 years time" (1989) and,

of course, the melodic bird song whistle hook of �So Nice� (2022) by Raveis Kole!


Whistling birds from Tucson AZ trip

The red cardinal

And a mockingbird nesting in the cacti, pokey needles might spur a whistle or two!


The intention was a pink dress but it was a heavier material, way too hot so we made a quick change, to stripes!

Cacti are Sticky and Sweet too!

Playing at KXCI live on air with Hannah and Duncan.� We played "Glacier" and "So Nice"

Enjoy, Laurie & Dennis
