Hooked on Yodeling
Hooked on yodeling is a collection of my favorite German, Austrian, and Swiss yodeling songs. Most are in the German language. Three of the songs are sung by my daughter Emilie at a younger age. Emilie's yodeling voice has inspired many a young person to try and master the art of yodeling. The album contains the hilarious Chicken Yodel that has been used many times in advertisement commercials. You will wear a big smile as you explore the traditional sounds of the yodel.

Yodeling from the Old West to the Alps
This album was named for the literal song variety that it contains. An album that has a little bit of everything, with songs like Edelweiss, Timber Trail, and Indian Love Call and a good bunch of fancy Austrian yodeling thrown in.

Swiss Cowboy
Titled Swiss Cowboy because of my Swiss and Idaho western cowboy roots, this album contains many different styles of yodeling. This was a fun album to make because many of the songs were such that I could use a little creativity in my yodeling. The song title Tennessee Banjo Yodel is my rendition of yodeling within a traditional bluegrass banjo finger picking cadence. This style was quite challenging to perfect and perform. Try some of the sound clips for some real fun.

Yodeling Over the Edge
An album, designed for listeners who like a little bit of everything. Songs from Australia, Austria, Latin America, Louisiana Cajun, American Western, Southern Spiritual, and Africa, make this album a potpourri of musical madness. Most songs contain yodels that I have created over the years that fit with the genre of each song. My favorite on this CD is the Yidisher Yodel. It tells the story of a Russian man who loves to yodel and his Jewish wife who pretty much hates it. Quite nutty.

By Request
This is what I call my ballad album. There have been so many wonderful artists over the years. I just love the music they sang and wrote. The album has only seven yodeling songs. The rest are just me singing the songs of Marty Robbins, John Denver, Kenny Rogers, Ann Muray, Johnny Horton, and a few others. If you like great story songs that will take you back to your youth listen to the rarely recorded song, Old Wisconsin. I think this cd is one of my best. Recorded with great quality.

Hymns of Grateful Praise
My wife Kathie chose the hymns to be recorded by me on this zither album. She selected these songs not only because they are some of her favorites, but with the thought in mind that no matter what your Christian persuasion you will no doubt have sung these songs your whole life at church gatherings. Hymns of Grateful Praise, will fill your home with uplifting music and spiritual inspiration. Many have given this cd to loved ones in Nursing Homes. They love the song selection.

Christmas Quiet
Any fan of the Austrian zither must agree that the music of Christmas just feels right played gently on the strings of this alpine instrument. All songs are traditional holiday favorites. My great friend Bill Wells lends his incredible talent on the classical guitar to enhance and beautify the angelic sounds of this cd. You hear only acoustic zither and classical guitar. No extra filler to muddy up the quiet peace this album brings. Test out a few of the songs by listening to the mp3 clips below. Merry Christmas.
