Cowboy crooners such as Gene Autry and Roy Rogers brought western yodeling to the public's attention back in the 1930s and '40s, but Wylie Gustafson is keeping yodeling alive for today's audiences. But don't let his smooth-as-honey voice fool you. Gustafson is not only a masterful yodeler, but also a bona fide cowboy who runs a working ranch in the 12-person town of Dusty, Washington. But Wylie's not a lone voice echoing solo on the prairie -- yodelers from all over the world and of all ages convene every year at The National Old-Time Country Festival in Avoca, Iowa, to compete as well as to swap yodeling songs and stories.
