If Howlin’ Wolf found his howl by trying to imitate Jimmie Rodger’s yodel, I wonder what would happen if I try…

On a side note - I was record hunting for Jimmie Rodgers a few months back and picked up a Jimmie Rodgers record at some store in Chicago and was real excited.  I put it on and was real disappointed.  I started to think that Jimmie Rodgers made real crappy music to make money and then made good music where he yodels on the side.  I don’t know why I didn’t consider the possibility of two Jimmie Rodgers. hmm…Needless to say, I haven’t played that record again and have since picked up the real Jimmie Rodgers seen above.
