I am told a late relative of mine was very good at performing a song about a sow which has whistling and raspberrying in it. I think I vaguely remember the song but can anyone provide more information about it?

Yay Maggie. Thanks for dragging that from my deep subconscious. I see some sites say "funicle" and some say "funniful", one site says it is a Cumberlnd song and another says it is from Somerset. God only knows when it originated. Jun 20 05, 4:16 PM

I'm only sorry that now it's sneaked back into my consciousness. I've been singing it all night... Jun 20 05, 4:17 PM

"Why am I Me" is a duet sung by two boys, one black, one white, in a televised musical resembling 'Shenandoah' in the late 60's or early 70's. Does anyone know more information about the program? I'm looking for information on an old TV show from the late 60's or early 70's that appeared on public broadcasting. It was referred to as 'experimental TV', and I think the name of the show might have had the word 'strawberry' in it. This show had no characters or plot in the usual sense, but it was mainly about a guy who's stuck in a room or a box and has nothing but a chair. There was very little action and the whole thing was quite surreal. Does anyone else remember this show? I vaguely remember a character covered from head to toe in padding, whose job was as a human punchbag for someone else to kick and take out their frustrations of the day. I think this character had a one syllable name beginning with 'S.' Does anyone know what I am talking about? I read something that mentioned female snipers in World War II. Can anyone find a web site that has information about female snipers in history?
