learning Melanie Oesch's KuKu-Jodler

This song is the reason why I wanted to learn how to yodel.
*Oesch's die Dritten* won a yodeling contest in Switzerland with that KuKu-Jodler. After teaching myself the basics of alpine and cowboy style yodeling, singing along with a couple of CDs, in my car on the way to work and back, I finally feel good enough to take on the song that got me started.

I made myself a slowed and transposed down recording of the original performance to work with. By now, I think I'm getting there - just need to speed up a little. Let's hope I don't get pulled over for driving with a camera taped to the dashboard.
