Well, thank you first to Mr. Sables. Coming from yerself, I especially appreciate that because I imagine you've probably heard more singing in your life than most humans are priviledged to.And yes, women do sing in a different voice for yodeling than regular singing. I can sing the same notes in either voice and the effect is very different.
And Celticblues, I have heard lots of yodeling (particularly since I moved to wyoming, where cowboy music rools) and some of it is not so great, but if you do it musically and use it like red pepper -- just a tiny bit'll do you, I think it's palatable. But then, I like a little bit of just about everything, and not a lot of very much.
