Oh, hey.

Last Friday I listened to Wasting Time with Bronwyn C. on WFMU for a little while before going to an open mike in Seekonk. I didn't realize that Bronwyn was back on the air, so it was a pleasant surprise, and I made a little spur of the moment post.

I didn't get to hear the whole show, so I subscribed to the podcast, and after catching up with older shows I finally got around to listening to the end of last week's show today as I was driving back from lunch.

At the end of the show they picked one of the people who pledged during the hour, and it was me -- I won a prize! It's a package of yodeling-related stuff: a book by Bart Plantenga called Yodel-Ay-Ee-Oooo: The Secret History of Yodeling Around the World plus two CDs: The Rough Guide To Yodel and American Yodeling.

How about that?

that is fabulous. i've been listening to WFMU at work for the past few weeks, and it is really and truly the best thing in the world. I need to pledge and get a t-shirt or something!

cool! will you be yodeling in the future?

[jwgh]

Maybe! I'm not very good at it right now, but the Rough Guide appears to include at least one yodeling lesson.

I sincerely hope you decide to add some yodeling to your songs now.

I actually have one original song that includes a miniscule amount of yodeling: 'Pickle Postcard'. I perform it kind of rarely though.
