It is available on amazon.com, with sound samples. Enjoy! |

I like some yodeling, but this woman really takes it to new...um...heights, um... depending on your perspective. I would not have believed it without hearing it. Thanks! kat |

I don't know the one she sang for that - I recognised the tune, but couldn't put a name to it. Brilliant! It would stop me dead in my tracks to watch it, every time it came on. Helen |

Some of them look pretty interesting! ("Songs in the Key of Z: The Curious Universe of Outsider Music," "Hey Lucille, Are You a Lesbian" and "Delerium in Hi-Fi" among them.) |
