It was because of Jimmie Rodgers and Roy Rogers I aspired to be come a yodeler. Mississippi Delta Blues, Peach Pickin' Time In Georgia, The Blue Yodels all were door openers for a new style of performing. It is my opinion that while Jimmie was a good yodeler Roy Rogers and by extension The Sons of The Pioneers were exceptional. But I will maintain that it was Jimmie Rodgers who set the style.

As far as my aspirations have gone I do ok. But I still can't yodel up a train whistle.
