A New Hobby...

Well, folks, meself hath returned for a short time, thanks to "literature obsessed". My topic shall be on my new interest, namely, yodeling.
THE HISTORY OF YODELING:
Yodeling originated in the Alps in the region where Austria is now located. It was used by shepherds to communicate over long distances through the mountains. Now, it is a kind of singing.
TYPES OF YODELING:
Originally, yodeling songs went along with lyrics of the languages of people living in the region around the Alps. These include German, of course, which I have always taken a particular interest in. There are also Cowboy yodeling songs. The name is self-explanatory :)
I'll give you a link for the two kinds of yodeling...
First, the German song, "Einen Jodler hor i gern" ("The pleasant Yodler I hear" or something like that) by Franzl Lang: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67rc96joOz8
Next is a Cowboy yodeling song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LybSS4amIS0&NR=1
This is sung here cowboy style, but I think the song was originally Swiss...:D

Next, I attempt to teach you all to yodel!!
Here's a preview of Lesson 1:
