And eyes they shone like the diamonds ……I love this song, and you know I can’t play my guitar to save my life and never found a decent backing track but you absolutely own it. Love this, Beth
Hey there! So great to hear from you and many, many thanks!! I love this song too and super happy you like my rendition. Such a great tune. Hope you're well. I'm off FB and Instagram for the past few months. Just youtube and my website. I'm sure you're still trucking on down the road. Be well, my friend. and thanks again!
Thank you, dear Ret! I'm so glad you enjoy my rendition of this song with an added Yodel! And yes, I do count my blessings every day. You are one of them! I so appreciate all the wonderful comments you leave on my chanel. Many thanks. xoxoxoxo See you Saturday!
We are On the same brainwave- I am working on this song too, and learning the auto harp! Thank you for all your videos because of you I learned how to yodel- keep shining!
That's awesome! It's great to hear we're on the same wavelength. Keep up the good work with the song and the autoharp! So we're 2 Beth's who like to sing and make music! Yay! Thanks for being here and thanks for your wonderful comment. So glad I was able to help with your yodeling!
This song has sentimental meaning for me. My younger sister lived in Texas. I remember saying, "I can't find Dance across Texas" to sing along with it. She calmly said, "Ret, "It's waltz across Texas, LOL. I found it. she died of a rare thyroid cancer when she was 65, about 10 years ago. I love this song and you gave even more meaning to the song, with your yodeling to the song. I think I mentioned before, that the yodeling seems to give more feeling to songs. Singers get into their emotions? when they start yodeling in the middle of their songs. It is awesome. When I listen to you yodel to the song, it brings tears to my eyes.
Ret - I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your sister. Even though it was 10 years ago, our love for those who have gone ahead never changes, does it? Thank you for sharing this story and thank you for letting me know it's special to you. I love singing this yodel. And now I'll think of you and your sister who I hope would enjoy the yodel in this song too. There are certain songs I sing that make me think of my mom so I sing them as if she was in the room watching me and cheering me on. Now every time you sing Waltz ACross Texas or yodel this yodel, you can be singing it for your precious sister and in her memory. xoxoxo
Hey there Bill! So glad you enjoyed the song. Yes, trying to get back to uploading videos. And I've been blogging when I remember and have time. You can keep up with me here too: bethwilliamsmusic.com/category/blog-post/
I don't know of any songs that are just yodeling but it would be easy to do one. Just string some yodels together and don't add any lyrics to the song. :-)
Thank you so much for your kind words, it means so much! I so appreciate your continued support. Hope you're doing well and I'll be posting another song this evening. Thanks again, George! xo
Thanks so much. I'm glad you're here and hope you'll find lots of videos to enjoy here on my channel. Hope you'll check out some of my original songs too!!
Beth....I love you !!! Yodeling is something that has largely disappeared from country music. With the death earlier this year of Margo Smith, hardly anybody is yodeling anymore in the US. Glad to know that you're carrying on the tradition.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you being here and am happy you enjoy the music I'm putting here on You Tube. I also have lots of original songs you might enjoy. Hope you'll check some of these out too. Original Songs by Beth: ru-vid.com/group/PLQAzoE7ws4ICYEx7MZ1Mmm5b41UVv6gkz
Mardy2630 expressed concern of yodeling disappearing. I am 81 and my aunt and uncle yodeled in the 40's. As a kid, I yodeled during the day, but not the actual yodel. I went through the moves LOL. At 81, I wanted to learn the real sounds. I always listened to country. I always yodeled with the songs, but not the real yoldeling. I decided to "learn the real yoldeling and take private lessons. I hope that the yodeling comes back. It is so awesome and Beth does it so well.
Thank you so much for sharing about your history with yodeling and for the lovely shoutout about the private lessons! I'm learning "I'd Rather Be a Cowgirl"in case you'd like to learn it at your lesson today. Or we can work on any yodel you'd like to learn. Thank you again! ❣💕💕💕
I just love your yodeling. I'd like to be able to do just yodeling, like I saw a young yodeler, who appeared to be just yodeling the whole time in a song. To be able to just yodel the song while it is playing, would be awesome. Some people hum along. I would like to yodel along.
Was she yodeling a song you're familiar with? Or was she yodeling to an unfamiliar song? You can take these yodels and string them together and make a song like that!
Thank you so much! I'm really happy you like the Yodel Vocal Warmups! I'll try to get back to making some more. Appreciate you being here and hope you'll like lots to enjoy here on my channel. :-)
Here you go! My rendition and a How to do the Yodel lesson! Love Sick Blues ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DA717eYoVz0.htmlsi=wFENHXrCeHBBW1RQ How to Yodel Lovesick Blues ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PN650WfyCdo.html
Beth, I love yodelilng. Although, I've told my son that I can only yodel from E to A range. He says you can yodel anywhere. But, I seem to only have my break there. Meanwhile, I had a friend who could harmonize her yodels with me and could do them all over the place. So, can a person have numerous break points in their voice?
Hey there! First of all, thank you for being here! As far as a break in the voice..I've never counted but I think I have several places on any given song where my voice can break when I yodel. Usually there's one place it sounds the best. I try to find the best key for the song I'm singing, and stick with that. If you notice on my Yodel Vocal Warmup videos, I drop into a lower octave when the key gets too high for me. Here's a link to the Yodel Vocal Warmups if you'd like to check those out. ru-vid.com/group/PLQAzoE7ws4IAOEzc3dZxlkiOOVCW78OCo
Thanks and thanks for being here! This is an original yodel I wrote for Wayfaring Stranger. Super easy to sing. Join me if you can and also I have a tutorial on how to do the yodel. Thanks again! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uQc7pTlLd2U.htmlsi=_R_-3M5PF3uYBWYm
That's awesome! Yodeling is such a unique talent to learn. I have "She Taught me to Yodel" on my list of songs to learn and do a lesson on. Hang in there and I'll try to get that done soon. Until then!! Please visit this playlist and I hope you'll find lots of yodeling videos to enjoy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g7_1lffwiNg.html
