Yodeling
Bill Peters made a gag out of never yodeling. Dee Dee Dougherty-Lottie always does at least one yodeling singer. Daryl Clendenin recorded a singing call, Good Callers Don’t Have To Yodel. Supreme Audio has a whole list of yodeling singing calls.
Can you learn to yodel over the internet? Try this course. And you can practice, along with Tarzan, Goofy, and a coyote, here. For lots of other links on yodeling (Country-Western and Alpine style), see Yodel Central. My new favorite place, Wikipedia, doesn’t (yet) have an article on yodeling.
Now, how did I get on yodeling today? Jeff Garbutt, an Australian caller, announced on the sd-callers email list that he was going to take down his web site (will be a dead link fairly soon), but that he was making the content available for anyone who’s interested. So I went exploring. I’d been to his site before, and liked some of his promotional writing about square dancing. He had a couple of links on yodeling, googling took over, and here you have it.
Have lost track of Bill and Betty Peters during their move from Maui to Calif. and our move from Fl. to NC. Anyone knowing Bills current email address please forward mine to him. Thanks Jack.
