Yodeling Songs Of Her Youth At Rock City
Music bridges many differences, this touching video is a prime example. It is also an uncanny example of how sometimes life imitates art as this impromptu occurrence is a doppelgänger for the 1929's movie short featuring Jimmie Rodgers yodeling this same song to an elderly lady.
We captured this moment in Rock City Gardens over the Memorial Day weekend; it was an impromptu trip for us, taken to avoid the radioactive jet stream fallout from May's recent recriticality in Fukushima.
The musicians in the video are the New Binkley Brothers; the song is "Waiting For A Train" by the legendary Jimmie Rodgers. After watching the video above, compare it to 1929 short shown below.
