[78-L] Yodeling

[bruce78rpm at comcast.net]

"In 1924 Puckett accompanied fiddler Gid Tanner to New York, where, on March 7 and 8, they recorded twelve songs and tunes for the Columbia Phonograph Company. They were the first country-music artists to record for that firm. These recording sessions yielded vocal selections by Puckett and fiddle tunes by Tanner. One of Puckett's songs, "Rock All Our Babies to Sleep", established him as probably the first country-music artist to yodel on records."

''Jimmie Rodgers introduced yodeling to Country Music.'' 
Really? 

I always thought it was Riley Puckett, 1924. 
'Steamboat Bill' and 'Rock All Our Babies to Sleep'. 
Which fact may show that yodeling had been part of Old Time 
Country Music before the Brakeman used it.
