Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our Thursday night wild-card show, here is Judy Coder performing her Yodeling Medley that won her the Western Music Association’s International Yodeling Champion award (3:09).

For those of you who enjoy yodelling, our previous SDA LNR features thereto included: Franzl Lang (Einen Jodler hör i gern), Bobbejaan Schoepen (The Cannonball Yodel), and, of course, Johnny Cash & Louis Armstrong (Blue Yodel No. 9).

Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.

  2. Unsurprisingly the yodelling medley is available but Johnny Cash is not. I’m starting to really really dislike youtube.

  3. Hmm, I just double-checked, Kelly, and Blue Yodel #9 by Johnny Cash and Louis Armstrong certainly is available, at least from here. Always keep in mind that the problem may be at your end, not at the remote Internet servers’ end. Computer networks are like that. Don’t be so quick to jump on the service providers. Of course, it may be a non-problem at my end; like: it doesn’t work for anyone else in the world yet it does work for me. But think about it: that’s not very likely, is it?

  4. Kathy Shaidle managed not to bite Jason Cherniak on Coren’s show. That was friggin’ HILARIOUS!
    I’m going to write a little something about that show tomorrow. There were some pretty interesting things said there that bear examination, I think.

  5. “For those of you who enjoy yodeling…”
    Who doesn’t enjoy yodeling? When my thoughts propel me, flailing willy-nilly knock-kneed, to the treehouse of distant memories, and I nestle, sniffling, in the musty pockets of my inner youth, my thoughts return, always, to yodeling.
    Imagine yodeling directly in front of the Queen while looking her in the eyes — oh, what a dark, secret delight! The bulge-eyed glottal nakedness echoing off the grand walls, the rose-kiss hammering out a secret frantic polka in the valley of one’s joy-hams — is it even possible to imagine a more liberating act?
    I think not. Yes, my friend, that’s the highest form of ontological emancipation: yodeling in front of the Queen, with official permission.
    I’d provide a link, if I could find one.

  6. Well Vitruvius, youtube videos rarely work for me (not available). You may be right, I’m doing something wrong. Seriously damn near everything I try to see on youtube is “no longer available” to the point where I DO NOT even goto youtube anymore. If you can help me out I’d appreciate it

  8. I can’t really help you out here, Kelly, I don’t do terminal help desk support, so I don’t know enough about it to advise you properly; further, this isn’t the place.
    However, you might try this idea. Go to the SDA Late Nite Radio archives link, and try picking through various links there. They are all known to have worked recently. If you keep having problems accessing them, then your machine is wedged (as we say technically; it means broken).
    If that is the case then you should engage someone, friend or professional, to clean up your machine for you. Look, people know they are supposed to maintain their houses and their cars, but they think that their computer, which is arguably more complex than houses or cars, is somehow maintenance free. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way.
    And now, if you’ll excuse me, as EBD mentioned, I’m scheduled to yodel at the Queen’s breakfast, which is in about two hours, my time, so I’d best go prepare 😉

  12. We used to yodel a lot, until one day, when we got a telephone. The rest is history.

  13. Understood, Ranger, yet you must admit that there is something fundamental about the acoustic systems of various critters, birds certainly come to mind, that also appears in various pre-vocabulary human musical forms, such as humming, whistling, throat singing, and yodelling, pace technology.
    After that, add some resonant percussion (hollow log), some vibrating strings (stretched vine), some standing wave pipes (open reed), and if you’re in the mood some words, and pretty soon you’ve got the foundation for the whole shebang. Cool, eh?
    Then, then we can do the technology. Then Bach can become the greatest musician ever. Meanwhile, we all retain the personal ability to make music, without instruments, on key or off, and, well, in my opinion anyway, if one doesn’t take advantage of that natural phenomenon, then one is missing out on a valuable part of life.

  14. Great article by David Warren
    Near abroad
    Russia has long been a very pedagogical country. She likes to teach lessons to her neighbours. The smaller the neighbours, the more lessons they can expect to receive.

  15. Oh Lordy, ya just gotta luv diversity, SDA style. I cannot say that yodelling has ever been in my things I love list but if you hang around here long enough, something that piques your curiosity will come around.
    I find that going to just about any link suggested here, has me wandering around the internet for hours, either bringing back memories (some of Vit’s U-Tube selections) or learning new stuff.
    btw, the only yodelling I’ve done was the time I slipped off the pedals of my new bike.

  23. I came across this billboard for Saskatoon’s public communist re-educ… er I mean character education program while walking yesterday. It might not have disturbed me as much if I could think of a legitimate reason for a public school board to be advertising.

  24. looks like Saskatoon is going to concentrate on “re-education”, time to take the doctors and lawyers and engineers to the wheat fields with a scythe.
    this must be a leftover from a forLorne Calvert education board.

  27. Caroline Glick, Israel, Georgia, and the nature of man
    Russia’s blitzkrieg in Georgia this week was not simply an act of aggression against a small, weak democracy. It was an assault on vital Western security interests. Since it achieved independence in 1990, Georgia has been the only obstacle in Russia’s path to exerting full control over oil supplies from Central Asia to the West. And now, in the aftermath of Russia’s conquest of Georgia, that obstacle has been set aside.
    Georgia has several oil and gas pipelines that traverse its territory from Azerbaijan to Turkey, the main one being the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. Together they transport more than 1 percent of global oil supplies from east to west. In response to the Russian invasion, British Petroleum, which owns the pipelines, announced that it will close them.
    This means that Russia has won…

  28. ICT, Venezuelan Ties to Hezbollah
    In June of 2008 the United States government accused two Venezuelan men, both of Lebanese decent, of maintaining ties with the terrorist organization Hezbollah. This is not the first time government officials and citizens of Venezuela have been found to engage in business with militants, nor is it likely to be the last. The Lebanese population has been a part of the Venezuelan community for almost three decades; and, accordingly, Hezbollah cells have become embedded within the society as well. But, according to documents produced by the United States’ government and statements issued by former Venezuelan officials, it has been under the government of President Hugo Chavez that the terrorist organization has truly thrived, and it is under his authority that Hezbollah has begun to pose an even larger threat to the Western world…

  29. Frank J. Gaffney, Jr., Back to the U.S.S.R.
    As Russia continues to exhibit behavior reminiscent of the old Soviet Union — most immediately by apparently lying about its adherence to a European Union-brokered ceasefire in the state it has most recently invaded, democratic Georgia — Americans must formulate and implement appropriate responses. The object should be both to demonstrate solidarity with the victims of Russian aggression and to ensure that there are real costs to Moscow for reverting to form…

I’ve been wondering why Peel school board and Peel catholic school board always put up two boards in each new community, each whining and complaining that ‘due to the lack of funding the students will have to be accommodated elsewhere’, even though tere is a new school construction site 100 yards away.
    How much money do they spend on hundreds of those boards across Peel???

  38. Exciting news, Puffin Iggy has surfaced, says this is no time for Harper to force an election when there are Bi-elections slated for September. Yeah, right, it’s about more than the bi-elections as we’re finding out weekly, their candidates are bailing, and they’re in a frigging mess on several fronts, from the Leader pushing a carbon tax to jackasses like Garth Turnip and David of Orchard mucking about in the Party.

    “Thanks to clever questioning by Liberal MP Karen Redman, Elections Canada Commissioner Marc Mayrand was trapped into revealing that there are other MPs, and not Conservative MPs, that are being looked at by Elections Canada for In-and-Out media buys:
    KR: I want to touch on an affidavit by a Jeff Donald who is currently a Conservative staffer but who was involved in the 2006 election campaign. In an affidavit he purports that all parties did exactly the same as this In-and-Out scheme that the Conservatives are now trying to defend. Are you familiar with that affidavit?
    MM: I’m aware of the affidavit.
    KR: I’m wondering in your capacity, if at any time you’ve come across anything that is equivalent to the media buy that is now commonly called the In-and-Out scheme by the Conservatives? Can you think of any other examples that are equivalent to the issue that we’re now dealing with before this committee?
    MM: As I indicated in my previous testimony, I believe I said there was no similar matters. I have since provided information to the committee, undertakings, and I’ve indicated that there are four situations identified where there were questions about the incurrence of the expenses.”

    Today, Russia threatened to use nuclear weapons against Poland, which signed a missile defense deal with the United States yesterday. Under the arrangement, the United States will base ten interceptor missiles on Polish territory. “Poland, by deploying, is exposing itself to a strike-100 percent,” said General Anatoly Nogovitsyn. The deputy chief of staff then explained that Russian doctrine permits the use of nuclear weapons against the non-nuclear allies of nuclear states if the allies host strategic deterrence systems.
    This is not the first time this year that Russia has announced it might nuke a neighbor…

    “Jury says state owes inventor millions
    California taxpayers could be on the hook for a staggering $388 million because of a state tax collection agency’s vigorous pursuit of a former California taxpayer.
    In a case that one tax expert called “completely unprecedented,” jurors in a Clark County, Nevada District trial awarded Las Vegas inventor Gilbert P. Hyatt $250 million in punitive damages Thursday for the “outrageous conduct” of Franchise Tax Board auditors in an investigation that began in 1993.
    The award was on top of $138.1 million jurors gave Hyatt last week for “invasion of privacy” and “emotional distress.”
    Hyatt’s suit alleged that board auditors went through his garbage and mailbox, spread the word he was being audited to his business associates, and sent letters containing his Social Security number to third parties that included newspapers and doctors that had never treated Hyatt.
    The tactics were portrayed as part of efforts to harass and intimidate Hyatt into paying a $7.4 million tax bill that has grown to $49 million with interest and penalties.
    “Government agencies should pause and reflect on the significance of this verdict,” said Hyatt’s lead counsel, Mark A. Hutchison. In a prepared statement, Hyatt said he “hoped this will prevent other taxpayers from going through the same nightmare I have had to endure for over a decade.”
    Hyatt filed suite against the board in 1998 after auditors determined he owed the state $7.4 million in income taxes from 1991-1992. Hyatt, who holds more than 70 patents, contends that he moved to Las Vegas in October 1991 and did not earn millions from his patents until after he left California.

    “Netherlands Recognises Polygamous Marriages of Muslims
    ROTTERDAM, 12/08/08 – Although polygamy is banned in the Netherlands, the marriages of Muslims who have several wives are recognised by Dutch authorities.
    Registrars in the major cities, in particular, record dozens of bigamous or polygamous marriages per year. These marriages are prohibited and an offence in the Netherlands. However, polygamous marriages that take place in countries where more than one wife is permitted, such as Morocco, are accepted, newspaper NRC Handelsblad reports.
    If immigrants with several wives settle in the Netherlands, the local authorities register all the marriages. However, the Central Bureau for Statistics (CBS), where all marriages are registered nationally, removes these bigamous or polygamous marriages from its files, on the assumption that administrative errors have occurred. As a result, it is not known how common the phenomenon is in the Netherlands.
    Amsterdam city council has informed the CBS that the marriages are not a mistake. “We will now investigate whether this can be regarded as a trend that was previously not recognised. If this is the case, it is out task to report this,” CBS researcher Jan Latten explained in NRC Handelsblad.
    “At present, it is not included in our statistics,” Latten pointed out. “In the same way, we delete marriages involving fourteen-year-olds. A man with two wives just cannot exist by law.”
    Spokesman T. Verhoeven of the Rotterdam city council disclosed that polygamous marriages are registered almost every week. “They are simply acknowledged. It is important for us to check that the documents are authentic and that the husband does not have Dutch nationality.” Otherwise the construction is illegal, Verhoeven explained.”

    “Kevin Libin: Breathe deep and relax – pollution won’t kill you
    As if Canada’s Olympic athletes didn’t have enough to worry about, what with their puny medal count thus far. But embarrassment isn’t fatal. Air pollution, the sort that seems to permeate every square inch of Beijing’s ether, may be — at least according to the Canadian Medical Association. In a study released this week, the CMA announced that 21,000 Canadians will die this year from smog; 3,000 simply from being exposed over a “short-term.” Just imagine the kind of damage that could come from 14 days in smoggy Beijing. Perhaps we should be kinder to our underperforming Olympians. They might not have much longer on this Earth.
    The frightening report suggests that in just over two decades 700,000 Canadians will have perished due to long-term smog exposure, and 90,000 due to short-term, acute effects. Then again, it’s worth asking how many people a year in this country are actually declared killed by air pollution. Actually, it’s zero. According to Statistics Canada, a little more than 72,000 people die every year from cardiovascular disease, 9,000 from accidents, 67,000 of cancer, and another 80,000 from any number of causes ranging from salmonella and influenza to suicide. Not a single death gets attributed to smog.”

  46. No offense meant good buddy. I do appreciate the late night radio etc. I`m not the redneck heathen that many people portray me to be!! I do love yodeling.

  47. Interesting insights and background on the conflict in Georgia and an amazing story on a Hamas leader’s son. I highly recommend the Haaretz link. Doubtless he would appreciate prayers. For anyone who wants to help, I don’t have contact details but Haaretz or Fox could probably forward to him.
    These are interesting times in which we live.
