  1. You can hear blue grass and even the blues. I’m one who likes yodeling but normally I the folk songs from Germany and Austria. He does it very well.

    1. Some of the best yodeling I’ve heard is done by a Ukrainian girl named Sofia Shkidchenko…

      She’s off to Berklee College of Music next year.

      Cliff is a good yodeler, as was Hank Williams. It used to be a regular thing among country singers. I think Roy Rogers or Gene Autry was a good one…
