Sweet Hawaiian Chimes - DeZurik Sisters

This is the second recording I am posting of these two rare songbirds. I have chosen this one because it differs so much from the first one, of "Arizona Yodeler". There is no pyroclastic yodeling here. Instead, this ballade lets us venture into a realm of vocal beauty and that perfect equality perhaps only achievable between siblings. Still, some impressive vocalization is heard, as the girls brilliantly imitate Hawaiian guitars.

For those who want to here more backbreaking yodeling of the kind heard in "Arizona Yodeler", I promise that I shall post "I Left Her Standing There" soon.

The vintage postcards are shamelessly ripped from www.islandartcards.com (go have a look!)

I went to see the DeZurik Sisters perform in 1939. They sang this song and they signed one of my records of theirs.

My quaker parrot LOVES listening to this. She puffs up in complete joy and yawns like a baby bird waiting to be fed.

They were from Royalton, MN and appeared on radio in Chicago in the 30's and 40's. There were actually four sisters, and they interchanged as needed. I learned about them from Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Morning Show, which aired on Minnesota Public Radio from the late 60's through about 1985.
