Emcee Waddie Mitchell kicked off Day 3 at the Mustang Stage by asking his audience if anybody who had been to Stagecoach the prior two days had trouble moving when they got up this morning.

Mitchell was introducing Wylie and the Wild West, fronted by Wylie Gustafson, the guy who does the yodel on the Yahoo! Internet commercials. But in addition to his yodeling, he delivered a number of low-key, romantic numbers in his set, including Buddy Holly's "Everyday."

Gustafson is tall and rail-thin. He wore stovepipe jeans, white shirt, red tie and cowboy hat, a wardrobe that contributed the striking effect when he showed off his dance moves in several numbers, kind of a combination of moon walk and two-step. In "Yodeling Fool," about his Yahoo! experience, he threw in a Mick Jagger parody.
