Hello Friends:

 

     Peggy Chong posted a story about Fred Lowery. Fred was famous for his
incredible ability to whistle.

One of his songs the Indian Love Call sold over two million copies in 1939.

Here is a link to it:

I hope the library has or will collect some of his recordings.

 

Regards,

Robert
