WyoWoman gave me some GREAT advice! Practice, don't mind being thought a bit eccentric (goofy??), and ignore hecklers. My wife was giving me a hard time as I was yodeling to one of my songs last night. I told her I was not paying attention to her - she just laughed.

I'm not wanting to be a yodeller like Slim Whitman or anything - just be able to do some bare bones stuff to fit with all of the Jimmie Rodgers tunes I know and one or two others that have a few discreet places that a yodel fits in nicely.

Since I quit smoking, yes my voice has changed, I am revamping almost all of my music to fit the different vocal range I now have. And much to my delight I can do some soft yodeling. Thanks for all of the advice - and especially WyoWoman - ignore the hecklers!!!!!
