Ok, little too last minute, but there will be a yodel gig tomorrow, 6am, yes - you are reading it correctly, it is 6am, at Bains des Pacquis. I'll be there, it is free and part of the whole Aug 1st! If anyone is interested, we could have breakfast somewhere. Bring coats, it might be chilly still.

6am! Very brave of you! I'm no way near there, but just seeing this reminds me of a local yodel gig I witnessed on a regular basis... A liitle old lady with a walking frame used to yodel her way round the local Coop... It was probably her best bet for a bigger audience and she performed free too!

Yodeling has a campy reputation but watching a small group of skilled yodelers give me goose bumps everytime! I remember being in a little mountain pub 5am on a Sunday during carnival when 2 ancient looking farmers and a young chap around 20 broke into the most beautiful song... too bad I'll miss the Geneva gig .

Cmon, I need a body guard, be a sport..

Here is a vid I like..would be good with some heavy guitars, I think.

Do you have any idea what time will finish and if it will be like the video you posted or more similar to this:



Im tempted but im working tomorrow..

I have no idea what it will be like, 6am these days is very nice, though, so even if they are corny and ott I will probably still really like the expedition. I should pack the Appenzeller with me, shouldn't I so it's perfect...
I didn't find the time they end, either..

And?
How was it?
...

Fabulous! It was cool...I think around 400 people came, some people straight from parties, hangovered, there was a group of surfers with families waiting for the sun to warm up, many older folks, mainly, it was great, toddlers dancing. The ladies voices were strong and the guys' gentle, quite spiritual..

We all yodeled, after a crash course I didn't know yodeling is actually quite easy, well, years of symphony choir training didn't hurt, haha...The older folks sitting around me were giving me bewildered teary looks, looking at me as the long lost yodel farmer swiss kid, hahahaaa...I had a blast, I miss choir singing. I should join them, if only for the costumes, wows, the lady with the punk handkerchify think sticking out of her head, too cool..

Thanks, gata, these gigs are every sunday 6am, they have a wonderful breakfast food there, too..

I like it. MusicChick walks into an SVP type gathering and takes a couple of yodels. Great stuff

I doubt the yodeler just to the right of the ladies is in the SVP .

It was not political, that was nice..They had an Indian man (I think) rippin' out some great tenor yodel tunes, yay.

Now, why is the spellcheck giving me yodeling/yodeled-correct and yodelling/yodelled as incorrect?
