| | NPR : The Cackle Sisters, Yodeling Queens |
 | | Weekend Edition Saturday, July 30, 2005 · Carolyn and Mary Jane DeZurik, farm girls from Royalton, Minn., perfected and raised the bar for American yodelers, appearing on radio shows, including the Grand Ole Opry, as the Cackle Sisters. |
 | | John Biguenet, who revisited the DeZuriks' unusual career, tells Scott Simon that the Cackle Sisters came along during a period when most yodeling was done by traveling minstrel shows, featuring male singers in flface doing racist parodies. |
 | | The yodeling perfected by the DeZuriks was much more than falsetto. |
