Still working on my whistling.
I never, in a million years, expected to hear Adam whistling on the 1st single of TOH.
What will he think of next?
All of this talk about western and cowboy music got me to thinking...
Yodeling!!!

So I heard Madonna's Ghosttown on my local radio today. I only caught the beginning but I thought it stood out from the usual fare because her voice is lower and seems very front and centre.

I wonder if that is really Adam whistling. If there is as much whistling as the DJs claim, what will Adam do when he sings it live?

Thank you, Adamrocks!!!
While this may not be the instrumental version I remember best, I like it so much more than the song - with all due respect to Tex Ritter.
BTW . . .
For anyone who longs to feel the sunrise, the daylight, the storms of the American West in your bones - find a way to listen to the 'Grand Canyon Suite', composed by Ferde Grofe, conducted by Leonard Bernstein.
Then there's 'Hope' - - - a little masterpiece of piano music that plays 'West Texas' from the soul . . . from a genius named Doug Smith.
Something about the plaintive evening in the Western Sky. Probably has nothing to do with 'Ghost Town'! Does anyone remember the song 'I Am Calling You' from Bagdad Cafe?? Now, that is a song to sear a soul.

You've had me down a different rabbit hole tonight. From 'Rawhide' to 'Paladin' (Have Gun Will Travel), to 'High Noon' . . . I'm looking for an instrumental version of the theme - it's out there, somewhere, and it's beautiful. I find it amazing that Dmitri Tiomkin, a Russian, wrote music that captured the American West. I'm traveling back to the day when I wrote Roy Rogers and asked him for a pony. Yes, Adamrocks! Tex Ritter was a cowboy singer . . . I can't name or remember them all! I'd love to hear Adam sing 'Bury Me Out on the Lone Prairie'; 'Streets of Laredo'; the lonely 'Tumbling Tumbleweeds'; or 'Strawberry Roan' . . . my Uncle Jess raised Strawberry Roans in the Southern Sierra. I don't think 'Ghost Town' will be Western . . . my two cents is it will convey very contemporary love and loss, angst, emptiness. It may touch on the honesty of the Old West; a 'drive thru' those abandoned towns; Bodie, and the lonely intersection where James Dean met his fate . . .
Oh, Momtomany..I can quite visualize this. Gives me the goosebumps, this description. Looks like you and I grew up with some of the same music too! Paladin! Rawhide! Flash from the past. Sweet. I will be humming these songs all night now, you know..

: Just delurking to say, I never thought it was actual whistling. Just an electronic effect.
