Hey killerMouse! Just a question… not that I disagree with you… but why would you rate the SA Navy Band as the best in the world?

It’s called a penny whistle, cause in the old days it cost a penny to buy… It was an affordable instrument in townships in the 50s and 60s in SA. SA Township jazz often includes the penny whistle.

This guy Willie van Zyl is such awesome on the whistle. Great to see South Africans working together..brown, black, white..
The tune was well played.

Hi. The guy playing the whistle is (Warrant Officer) Willie van Zyl, a totally awesome world class sax player. The conductor is Commander Mike Oldham. I used to be in this band – the Senior Staff band of the South African Navy when I worked in South Africa (Leading Seaman Simon Harpham) – trombone). They are based at Naval Base Simon’s Town near Cape Town.
