The other reason for starting this thread, was to give a bit of publicity for mustrads magazine, to get people to visit the site, ..
   I have enjoyed browsing through the magazine , and even if my own personal definitions of traditional, differ slightly from musical traditions, and other people on this forum.
In retrospect I agree I should have given a better description of the thread originally.
    now I hope Rod Stradling will get the   missing article on Jimmie Rogers[ the Yodelling Brakeman]in shortly.
I have always been fascinated with the concept of what I understand to be a Swiss form of communication, ending up in American Country/ folk music and would like to learn more.I understand [ perhapes incorrectly] that Rodgers learned his yodelling style from GOEBBEL REEVES who had an even more extraordinary yodelling style.
    apparantly Alan Smethurst[ Singing Postman]was a big fan of Jimmie Rodgers, as can be heard in their guitar styles, although Smethurst never yodelled.Dick Miles
