Opens with the famous 'whistle' then into an historic piece of spoken word before Micho gives us a song.
But it's all whistles (and flute) and rare narrative thereafter and it's all classic stuff from the late lamented 'master player' (he died in 1994).
It's a wee bit confusing as the booklet gives 11 tracks but there are 19 on the CD - so we will go with the CD.
