i am not sure why the Previous Thread on this is closed
http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=50725#770192

but the yodeling thread recently had a mention of Throat Singing
and i went to refresh that thread and it is not possible to add info.

here is a new thread about it.

the Mongolian or Tuvan throat singing mentioned
in the yodeling thread above is very interesting.

The fellow at the website here (Steve Sklar) http://khoomei.com/
teaches it and has a band (Big Sky) that performs in that style.

it seems that people who herd critters (swiss cows, tuvan yaks, etc)
have perfected this method of singing.

this performance group is most famous for this style
http://www.huunhuurtu.com/
there are some Buddhist monks who
do this also, but rumour has it that they
learned it from the Tuvans.
but this is not exactly yodeling,
so i should start another thread....


Pam Swan (Mrs. Dave) featured Paul Pena on a recent recording
project she did...it was one of his last recordings.
