[Dixielandjazz] Surname changes -- Fiielding/Zarchy

[Robert S. Ringwald]

John Farrell asks:

> Andy Fielding (another truly great
> > pianist) is Zeke Zarchy's son. How did the name Zarchy evolve into
Fielding?


Fielding is Andy's mother's maiden name.  For whatever reason, Andy chose
not to use his father's name.

Perhaps so as not to look as if he was trading on his dad's name.  He wanted
to make a name for himself, on his own.
