Dawn Hampton Whistling - Herrang 2009 Week 3

In this month’s episode, I talk with Dawn Hampton about her whistling, Herräng, and her life as a performer.  This clip from 2009 captures all of the above.

Tune in to hear my conversation with Dawn as we also cover her childhood in the carnival, playing Carnegie Hall and the Apollo, singing at the legendary Continental Baths alongside Barry Manilow, and much, much more.  She is a legend in every regard and it was a thrill to talk with her.
