Whistling Rufus was and still is one of Kerry Mills most popular compositions. It has a light bantering, slightly swaggering air about it with four quite distinct strains having a form of Intro/AABBACCDD. Delightful, both to perform and to be entertained by.
A tempo of 96 crotchets/min. is suggested.
Whistling Rufus was published by F.A. Mills New York.
