I was given one of them penny whistle type things over the Christmas period, it’s a pretty cool gift.  
Took me about 5 mins to be reasonably adept at that old classic fre re jaka (I know, I cant spell it), Twinkle Twinkle little star and Cockles and Musels.  
They are the only tunes and I am too skint to go and buy a book of tunes that are completely hackneyed and picked by someone else.  
I have been searching the net for the sheet music to that tune from Once upon a Time in America, you know the tune that the little guy plays all the time.  
Ennio Morricone wrote it. I looked everywhere.

Can someone help me out please?🙂

I suggest visiting your local museum gift shop. Our gift shop carries a few items like what you’re looking for. If they don’t have them, I’m sure they’d be happy to order them for you.
