I learned to yodel when I was 14. So, I know to do it a little.

00:01:01,44000:01:05,642

I learned it on a summer camp with the Christian Insurance Company.

00:01:05,64200:01:15,050

At that time it was our only way to go on vacation. With the Christian Insurance Cie or with the Chiro.

00:01:15,05000:01:18,162

There were no alternatives.

00:01:18,16200:01:28,367

During summer camps they are always singing contests. I always participated. 00:01:24,048 —> I often won, since I had been a young child.

00:01:28,36700:01:39,683

At the beginning I competed with songs of Bobbejaan Schoepen. I knew him well. At home we sang his songs. Well, I would be the one singing them.

00:01:39,68300:01:46,127

My parents always said “Our little Erna, she can sing so well”.

00:01:46,12700:01:51,560

At every possible occasion I was put on a chair and I would sing my songs.

00:01:51,56000:01:55,608

That was my life, always singing.

00:01:55,60800:02:07,443

We also sang at sundays at home. The dishes were pushed aside and the song books were taken out. Then we all sang together.

00:02:07,44300:02:10,682

That was so great.

00:02:10,68200:02:20,442

In May, in the evenings, we walked to the chapels of Maria to sing Maria-songs.

00:02:20,44200:02:24,963

We were sitting in the grass, because the chapel was too small.

00:02:24,96300:02:29,808

I remember that everybody turned his head when I started to sing.

00:02:29,80800:02:34,928

I sang too loud. Erna and singing.

00:02:34,92800:02:42,123

I heard all my childhood that I could sing so well that I started to believe it.

00:02:42,12300:02:47,765

You are convinced, no reason to doubt.

00:02:47,76500:02:53,756

That’s so beautiful about being small, that you believe things.

00:02:53,756

Only when you grow older, you discover that you have to have more skills to be a real good singer.
