- Description
- The second small boy, in the whistling item with words, sometimes forgot to whistle the full sentence as he was so carried away by his own repartee. This recording was taken eighteen months later than the previous item. There is first a whistling conversation between two small boys about ten yards apart, and then another conversation ith spoken explanations of the sentences whistled. They bandy small boy's ruderies at each other, hence the laughter from the others. The recording is somewhat marred by tape echo.
