I guess I was excusing myself on two grounds. Firstly, though Jake would have loved it, yodel or no, it mightn't have any resonance with the majority of the group. And, my late brother DID yodel, and pretty well ~ I really like to 'cover' old tunes I feel capable of performing well. The tune in question has yodelling as an integral bit. I do agree, Wes ~ sing it anyway!
