It's a hobby for Harvey

Shows champion whistler Harvey Pollock, a Canadian lawyer by profession, as he performs at regional contests and programs and with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. Pollock’s love of whistling carries over to his personal life as he is seen warbling the strains of classical music at home, in his automobile, on horseback, in the swimming pool, and on his boat.
