[Dixielandjazz] Re: Zutty Singleton (was Guy Lombardo, a hip 1930s band)

[Bill Haesler]

Dear Dave,
I have always pronounced Zutty Singleton's name as 'Zootie' ['Zoo-tea']
based on the title of the side recorded by Pee Russell's Rhythmakers for HRS
on 31 Aug 1938: "Zutty's Hootie Blues" (aka "Horn of Plenty Blues").
Zutty takes the vcl on this, but does not mention his name.
Like you, I would like some confirmation, or otherwise.
Kind regards,
Bill.
