Webster's defines an "educated gentleman" as someone who knows how to yodel, but doesn't.

In Australia we have a long tradition of the "technicolor yodel". Very popular with the young 'uns. Generally results in a "street pizza".

James,

I can yodel a bit...I'm sure you're not surprised.

I recently bought a yodeling course, brand new with a c.d. included. I was so surprised to find such a thing...I bought it in a heart-beat. Haven't opened it up yet though.

yodelers

Post by Leonard G. Robertson »

My favorites are Roy Rogers & Wanda Jackson. I've heard you can,t yodel if your tonsils have been removed.
