That's interesting.  Is it related to the throat singing of the Tuvans, 
do you know?  I hosted a Tuvan group, Huun-Huur-Tu, once when they came 
here to perform, what a great time we had.  And although I know a Saami 
couple, they've never mentioned song or singing, but since what we've 
usually done together is winter camping/snowshoeing, that's not 
surprising, I guess.  Probably too far away to be related, though, now 
that I mull over the distance between Tuva and basically the west coast....
