Thanks for the info.It still sounds good so no reason to replace it.

Both. Either I'm trying to keep my breath going, or finding the easiest way to hit a note, or just alternating for the heck of it. I personally think whistling is annoying though, but it's almost like a stim where I can't help it (if I'm not singing). So I either do it "muted", or I do it at work where I like to think that no one can hear it over the machines.
you have talent
I lost the ability to inhale-whistle as a child.

I should get some more tapes, but the last time I looked (at a thrift), they didn't have anything good.
I got a "new" car last year and haven't swapped out the stereo yet, and had fun going through a bunch of my old tapes. Some of them don't sound as bad as I remember, but a lot of them really do sound awful. I used to listen to music obsessively as a kid, so a lot of tapes are a bit faded now, or warble, or some of the more unfortunate ones have been eaten a time or two. It took me a long time to get used to hearing some of my favorite songs in digital format, because I would expect those little dropouts and other anomalies, and they just weren't there.
I would love to try recording some of my own music to tape some time, just for the fun of it, but it's so much less work to just record everything digitally
...plus, I'm not sure I even have a decent deck to do it with.A talent I will sadly never use =)
