THE WEST WHISTLE

The West Whistle is a sound that I grew up with in Virginia.
I remember my dad telling me that this is the way that he and
his brothers would find each other in a crowd, etc. I don't
remember who came up with the idea... it may have been
started by my grandfather Benjamin. (Laban West)
