Practicing yodeler draws German police

Reuters News Service

BERLIN - German police investigating reports of screams coming from an apartment said Wednesday they had found a 76-year-old woman practicing for a yodeling diploma.

Neighbors called police after hearing noises coming from the flat in the western town of Offenbach near Frankfurt.

"The officers weren't able to judge whether the neighbors were unfamiliar with Bavarian folk music or whether the lady still requires a lot of practice," police said in a statement.

Earlier, police in the city of Aachen said they had cautioned a man for screaming in a forest to relieve his stress. The man's yelling had frightened neighbors.

I WONDER IF PATSY MONTANA RILED UP HER NEIGHBORS WHEN SHE WAS FIRST LEARNING? SPEAKING OF NEIGHBORS- THE LINK TO THE CD IF YOU CLICK ON THE NEIGHBORS LINK BRINGS YOU TO A COUPLE OF "ALBUMS" ONE OF WHICH HAS THIS TUNE ON IT: Frolic (for Guitar and Small Elephant) WHAT AN IMAGE--HAS ANYONE HEARD THE TUNE?

I am fortunate to live with a husband who tolerated my beginning yodeling AND my beginning fiddling. When I was learning to yodel, though, I practiced mostly in the car, alone, with my tapes. That way I could be as loud as I needed, and not bother anyone.

Man, I'd like to get a yodeling diploma...
