I am thinking of doing my project about yodeling. What I've always wondered is, what is the connection between cowpunchers and goatherds? Well, there's the herding. So what purpose does yodeling actually serve in the task of managing itinerant livestock? What makes yodeling different from regular singing in that context? Is it true that cowboys sing to keep the herd calm?
I've wondered about this before, and done a bit of looking around, but never found a lot of answers. I did a quick Google search, just to see what comes up when one searches for "why cowboys yodel" and I mostly found information about specific yodeling western singers. I'll be thinking of this more in the next few days.
