Yodel!

[OurCreature]

Who shall we have today? A young Joshua Broger!

Back with Melanie and family in the Alpine pastures.

Here's a group from Austria, judging by the broadcaster. A jolly little tune. It translates literally as Luzia's room music, so perhaps the Alpine version of the pianist and violin player who used to inhabit the Pump Room at Bath.

A quick look at the Pump Room website tells me that you can have afternoon tea there while listening to their Pump Room trio or their pianist, so some things are still sacred in England.

Time for Franzl with his rendering of Kufsteiner Lied (Kufstein Song). Kufstein is a town in Austria near the border with Bavaria. It has a nice castle.

[OurCreature]

Here's my favourite Tyrolean trio playing a tune called Käsekrainer Polka - all I can tell you is that it's something to do with cheese.

[OurCreature]

Here's some Alpine Dancing - I wonder how much they had to drink beforehand.

[OurCreature]

Here's Lisa Stoll playing her Alpenhorn with the Zurich Police Band.



They play abroad as well! Here they are in Chicago.

[OurCreature]

Time to hear from Franzl again! He's singing about his birthday. Oops, I think I posted this on an earlier page - still, you can't have too much of the Jodlerkönig.

[OurCreature]

Here's Nicolas and his chums playing for us. 'Wedegehnte' means 'longed for' per Google Translate.

This yodel group is from Alpnachstadt near Lucerne - it's where the bottom station for the Pilatusbahn is located. Although the village is by Lake Lucerne it is in Canton Obwalden (a half canton) which, together with Canton Nidwalden, makes up Canton Unterwalden. This is another one where the name of the song has defeated Google Translate.

Medley gespielt an der Generalversammlung der Raiffeisenbank Windisch or Medley played at the general assembly of Raiffeisenbank Windisch with Joshua Broger. Windisch is in Canton Aargau in north-central Switzerland. You have heard the first tune of the medley earlier in this thread, played by the young lady duo the Kellerheims on page 5. You've also heard Joshua play the final tune of the medley on page 2 of this thread - the tune is called Bäre-Schottisch (Scottish Bear).

[OurCreature]

Here's Nicolas Senn and 8 year old Alessia. I assume it's her proud Dad watching early on, he looks quite emotional about it. I wonder if she is the Alessia (from Canton St Gallen) in the Kellerheims duo who you have seen on earlier pages in this thread.

[OurCreature]

Here's Nicolas playing Erinnerung Zirkus Renz when he was a few years older than playing it in the earlier video in this thread. He's playing it slightly differently but the ending is exactly the same. The boy sitting closest to him looks bored out of his tiny mind..........................

[OurCreature]

Here's Melanie and her family doing their stuff again; she certainly knows how to pull in the punters. No yodelling this time!

[OurCreature]

More of Melanie - this time without her family but with Lisa and Nicolas. Gipfeltreffe means Summit.

[OurCreature]

Here's the young Nicolas playing a tune called Quöllfrisch which, according to Google Translate, means Spring Fresh.

[OurCreature]

Here are Martin, Erika and Daniel not wearing their folksy Appenzeller get-up, playing a jolly tune that sounds like what you would expect from their part of the world. The title of the tune defeated Google Translate.

[OurCreature]

Here are some young ladies from the small town of Rum near Innsbruck in Tirol. The German title of the tune translates as Twin Waltz

[OurCreature]

At Merry's request - Julie Andrews singing about a lonely goatherd.
