I currently have the great pleasure of reading Sharon Connolly’s wonderful book ‘My Giddy Aunt.’ The book was inspired by opening a zither case that belonged to her great aunt, a professional whistler and comedian, who plied her trade across Australia & New Zealand, beginning a child star in the early 1900’s through to the early 1950’s. Gladys Shaw was part of a stage family, but unlike the male counterparts in her family she had to fight the prejudices of the time that saw whistling and comedy as the domain of the man. I highly recommend you grab a copy of the book.
Absurdly hilarious, and delicious. (If you ever stage it, can Steve and I audition for Carlos and Concetta? Steve’s brain’d nail Carlos, and I once married a Greek.)
