D-Beat Rodeo Halloween Special 2026

"Everybody in the valley has a strange tale to tell. The story of a haunted house and a ghost they all knew well.
Well they tell the tale of a yodelin' ghost and when the moon is high, you could hear this woman's ghostly wail, but there was no ghost in sight.
She would yod-oo-del in the cellar. She would yod-oo-del in the hall. When the clock struck midnight you could hear her best of all.
Well the womenfolk said they believed it was wind howling through the place. But the menfolks all insisted they could feel her fond embrace.
Well the women were a jealous lot, so they burned the old house down. There's nothing left but ashes now, but her yodel is still around.
She yod-oo-dels in the valley. She yod-oo-dels in the hills. She yodels till the sun comes up and everything is still."

- Patsy Montana

D-Beat Rodeo - Season 4 Finale - Round 20

Flamenco music itself has existed on the Iberian Peninsula for some six centuries, originating in the hot and dry southernmost region of Spain that is the gateway to Africa: Andalusia. Here four distinct cultural groups lived alongside one another for hundreds of years; these were the Moors, the Christians, the Gitanos (descendants of a diaspora of Roma people from northern India between the 9th and 14th centuries) and Sephardic Jews. The intermingling of these groups and centuries of socio-cultural evolution produced a musical fusion that was unique to the region. They called the fruit of this coexistence flamenco. 

Thank you for listening. We'll see y'all next time.

Welcome to Round 19. 

“I always loved bluegrass, but there was so much I didn’t know about American country music in respect to the origins of this country. It was interesting to see the evolution of it.”          - Clare Bowen

Track List

"Isn't it a pity? Isn't it a shame?
How we break each other's hearts and cause each other pain.
How we take each other's love without thinking anymore.
Forgetting to give back. Isn't it a pity?
Some things take so long.
How do I explain when not too many people can see we're all the same.
And because of all the tears that eyes can't hope to see the beauty that surrounds them.
Isn't it a pity? Isn't it a pity? Isn't it a shame?
How we break each other's hearts and cause each other pain.
How we take each other's love without thinking anymore.
Forgetting to give back. Isn't it a pity? Isn't it a pity?"

- George Harrison
