Kenny Roberts just died and it was my intention to present a copy of my new book YODEL IN HIFI to him personally. But now I will just end up dedicating it to him like I did my first one YODEL-AY-EE-OOOO. What was it about him that fascinated: his yodeling – yes, certainly, but it was also that he was light, gracious, grateful despite never quite reaching the level of acclaim he probably deserved and in his last years still performing, still attempting his jumping yodel, which required leaping, yodeling and strumming guitar simultaneously or his galloping yodel that went frenetic into the realm of drum-n-bass but then with the voice, the epiglottis. I met him a few years back and he lived up to his reputation and he seemed to embody the very joyous feelings that yodeling often drags out of the world-weary human soul. He lacked the troubled-angst-ridden soul music of the Louvin or Delmore brothers, seemingly having triumphed over suffering. This surprised me, someone who has always gone for the darker, deeper, profounder, more cynical exponents of song and music. That the yodeling has a profound effect on the human condition was evidenced in his approach to life, it was as if by yodeling he was engaging in a type of chanting meditation that soothed the soul so that it would align bio rhythm with those of the world just under the surface. So, yes, a certain perspective, a certain resignation, a certain Buddhism almost and all that from a New England hillbilly who taught Bill Haley how to yodel and once sold out Madison Square Garden and had a few Top 10 hits.
