[78-L] Yodeling

[Malcolm Rockwell]

The late Genoa Keawe was known for being able to hold a falsetto note 
indefinitely. She used the same circular breathing technique that sax 
players use to do the same thing. It's quite a trick.

His early 78s on the Cowboy label, under the name Bill Haley & his Four Aces of Western Swing, featuring songs such as "Yodel My Blues Away," are extremely rare (I've never seen one, but there is a reissue on the Australian Grass Roots LP label that has his Cowboy titles).
