[Dixielandjazz] Guy Lombardo, a hip 1930s band. - was The Chicken Song

[Hal Vickery]

I have an LP of a Carnegie Hall concert led by Jimmy McPartland.  When he
introduces Singleton, he pronounces it as if it were Zooty with a short "oo"
sound.

Since McPartland is from Chicago, the best I could say is the way he
pronounced it was the way an American Midwesterner would pronounce the "oo"
in "book," "hook(er)," or "look."

As a side note (but important to me as a radio DJ) - how in the heck 
does one pronounce Zutty? "Zuh-tee"  "Zoo-Tea" or what?  Most of the 
books and albums I have do not come with pronunciation guides, but I 
hate to sound like an ill-informed boob when I do my show. There are a 
lot of other names that I manage to mangle but that one gets me every 
time...
