| | Steve "The Whistler" Herbst's bio page |
 | | The award acknowledges not just his competitive excellence, but his winning international acceptance for this musical art form wherever he performs: clubs, churches, festivals, plus television and radio media. |
 | | Born into a musical family and inspired by his father who played several instruments, sang, (and was himself a very good whistler), Steve began whistling as a young boy, practicing, as any serious young music student would his or her instrument, to develop range, tone, and quality. |
 | | Already performing as a singer at age 7 (frequently to audiences of 1000 or more), he started whistling in concerts while a singing soloist with the University of Pennsylvania Glee Club, often called upon to simulate flutes and recorders, once performing for visiting royalty. |
