On that note, somethign which may be of interest......
We used to have a TV programme here called the Old Grey Whistle test. Used to showcase loads of new music, live in the studio.
I never knew what the title meant until I recently heard it goes like this.....
Years ago in one of the old record pressing plants, the record company would play new tunes through the factory PA.
If one of the older fellas in the pressing plant liked a tune or it stuck in their heads, they would invariably whistle it. These guys wore grey overalls and were known as 'Old Greys'.
So if a tune was good enough to warrant a whistling, it had passed the Old Grey Whistle test.
