Molly Lewis, the whistler

[@JohnPullum]

You are taking "whistle while you work" to an entirely new level, Molly. You are amazing!

[@richmoves]

Such a cool and unique way for musicality to manifest itself in someone. She's truly gifted. As someone who never could whistle, I stand in awe. 🧡

[@leif1075]

How can I whistle like her?

[@michaelnovak2615]

@@leif1075 this is Very Hard, maybe You must Very Long training And any body songs.

[@Sailor-Dave]

As someone who has annoyed family for decades by whistling along with music I love, I think Molly is gifted beyond words. There's just something that sends my spirit soaring to join along in whistle with classical music, church music, or really anything uplifting. I even have a parrot, one of the lesser-talented in talking, that I have taught a number of whistles. Break a leg, Molly!

[@mililaniman]

I never thought a person could make a living by whistling. This is an enjoyable story.

[@jekku4688]

heard Molly's story on NPR this week while driving home from work (where I do NOT whistle), and was absolutely captivated. You go, Molly! God's given you a great gift to upflift spirits and make people happy (and amazed). Pucker up and blow, honey!

[@burningmanmike]

No just a whistler, but THE Whistler! Love her.

[@carlostrivinos9947]

U cant play an instrument to accompany you when u r alone? U whistle. This lady made it an art.

[@cindyfleer2248]

When I was a girl I didn’t want to eat the nearly burnt crust from the over baked homemade bread. My grandmother told me if I did someday I’d be able to whistle- I too can whistle any tune! Years later as a mother of 4, I would call my children in from play to our house in the woods by whistling a special tune that I call them with. I adore this segment! And am amazed by her talent! I read once a statistic that only 1 in 9 women can whistle. This lovely lady certainly is talented. Oddly my children know that I go nowhere with my chapstick either and tease me about it!😗👍😊🌸

[@ravenscry048]

Wow what a wonderful talent. I can't whistle worth a darn. I admire her for her musical ability.

[@lalah9481]

Wow! I’m so grateful to you… My best and most heartfelt memories of my grandpa are of him whistling, like always, anytime, anywhere and especially in the car on road trips. 💖

[@adelaferreira4575]

I can sing and I used to whistle when I was younger,what she does is magical and amazing she has a gift that most of us don’t ,to be on tune when you whistle is much more difficult then to be on tune when you sing period.You have to control all this different muscles on your face in order to do it right she does it effortless wooow

[@lindseycarribean5113]

Fascinating.

[@maxmulsanne7054]

This is definitely a greater appreciation for the ears than most music that vomited into society for the last 25-30yrs.

I can sing yet not pitch perfect, yet I cannot whistle much at all. GO Molly! What a gift for all x!

I was thinking of that too! It was "Greensleeves" wasn't it?

[@Trapper4265]

Whistling in the right context is wonderful, other times not so much. I worked in a bank, and a older gentleman would come in whistling, and it was beautiful, but after three minutes of that. We just wanted him to SHUT UP, ALREADY! Hahaha 😂

Juan and I whistle while working. I'm gonna have to zonk myself for doing that, because I want to get busy that way I don't get behind

[@katmandudawn8417]

Molly can whistle Abblasen, the CBS News Sunday Morning theme song.

[@khadijaboyd6200]

It comes, at least for me, from hearing songs from birds, the winds, gales, at times, call and response to mockingbirds, so lovely, here in Virginia. Atlantic waters where the Sun rises, Tidewater Country. Blue Crabs, Rockfish, etc... Chesapeake Bay. Preserve, please. 😊k

I’m an expert whistler too. One of my friends once asked how I produce whole-and-half-tone trills. I said it’s all in the tongue. He said, lucky wife!

[@HarryLorayne-ep4ez]

Oh WOW I am in LOVE! And no, not lust you naughty lot, I know the difference and I feel LOVE for this woman. **The Whistler.** Her smile is like the sunrise over a mountain stream ... It glistens with each droplet of pure trickling water, it shines and gives me warmth which could last a lifetime. Her eyes are as the Northern Lights are in the black of the sky. They bring a splash of colour and light up my heart. They create colours all of their own. Colours that can not be replicated, not by an artists palette, nor by nature. I could love this lady over a thousand mornings, for a thousand sunsets, under a million stars... ..all of them shining, just for you, Molly. Shining, just, for you.

Amazing, so soothing & magnetic. Is she the creator of that familiar tune she whistles (when she's wearing white suit w/ rhinestone collar?). I thought it was from an old movie but she does it so good, now I'm not sure.

[@MPam1619]
