I agree, whistle is simple in principle and hard to do well. There are a lot of little techniques for getting the right sound. I can figure out a few tunes, but can't get much beyond jigs....
I don't know if there's a regular session around here--that's a good question. Might be fun to check out (if I can get past the fear of embarrassing myself). Mostly the tricky thing is fine-tuning how hard to blow for certain notes--there are a couple that I always seem to have problems with and it's also just generally easy to overblow on the low notes and have them sound sharp.
