    Oh my!!!! I'm 75 and have, for the entirety of my life, wished I could yodel! I've bookmarked this and am going to keep coming back and back and practicing and maybe I can manage to pull off even a half-way decent yodel by the time I die! THANK YOU!!!

    Yodeling comes from the shepards of the Alps in Switzerland and Austria, who were up high in the mountains with their cows, sheep and goats. Yodeling in Texas seems so out of place ... but in a way it is nice that you keep up the good vibes there.

    Was in the station bar in Grindewald, (at the Eiger) and I noticed a little statue with german writing with "Jodel" amongst it.
    I asked the waitress and yes, it was a local jodelling trophy.
    Within seconds, two or three guys were jodelling quite happily.
    It's NOT the best beer drinking music available...But,
    The locals seem to like it.

      @@gaurdien5827 , "Dobro's" played in country and bluegrass music usually have a wood body. A metal body is usually associated with National Guitars from the 20s and 30s, more commonly and historically played in blues and Hawaiian style music. When the original National company fragmented, the Dopeyera Brothers formed DoBro. Of course, nowadays there are multiple manufacturers making the same style of guitars. As far as I am concerned, if you are playing with some kind of chrome-plated plated steel bar, then it qualifies as steel guitar. And since this one has an internal resonator cone, possibly three of them, then the term Resophonic Lap Steel guitar would be more descriptive or appropriate in this particular case.
