Yodeling Mallory Haley * 2000 Avoca Festival

Mallory Haley was the youngest Yodeler to grace the Avoca stage this year. With backup from the legendary Sherwin Linton and Troy Cook, Jr, she really wowed the crowd with her yodeling versatlity, not only on the main stage, but on all of the others that she was scheduled for.

Sonny Rodgers Yodelers Paradise Show at the August 2000 Avoca Old Time Country Music Festival. This 3-hour show was one of Avoca's most popular attractions featuring Yodelers from around the world. In spite of week-long temperatures relentlessly hovering between 97 and 100 degrees, the performers gave it their all and the fans endured. These excerpted clips represent some of the best performances. There are some audio glitches, of which I wasn't aware until I got home and watched the playbacks. Out of 10 film cassettes I shot, two of them suffered from this defect. This would also be Sonny Rodgers last Avoca attendance. His cancer reappeared and the Good Lord called him home in July 2001.
