Wayne "Whistler" Higgins is a native of the Southwest. He attended high
school in Artesia, New Mexico. A talented musician with no formal
training in music, he has a natural "ear" which permits him to
immediately reproduce or play along with any new music he hears. He is
fluent on guitar, but to his dismay he simply cannot sing. Years ago,
he began whistling tunes to the accompaniment of his guitar. More
recently, "Whistler" (as he is known to nearly everyone) has taken up
violin and viola. Because of his large frame, his natural ability to
play by ear have found its expression mainly on viola.
Whistler Higgins is living in the Hondo, Texas area. He has written two
screenplays and is actively seeking funding to film a fictitious
western based on historical fact.
Wayne has been featured on York Air Conditioning TV commercials. The
song featured on York Air Conditioning in 2004 was an original piece
Wayne composed titled "Whistler's Strut".
Wayne has been a cowboy reinactor in the Texas area for years. Wayne
Higgins won an International Championship "Whistling" contest in
Louisburg North Carolina in 2003.
