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

[David Richoux]

Was there some hick-up in the DJML server? I sent this back on the 18th 
of June - there were several replies and now it is here again tonight!

Replicating threads!

Anyway, thanks for your new input, Hal. Being of somewhat midwestern 
descent myself, I understand the complexity of the "oo" sound as you 
put it - not  the same as in "Zoo" - but with everybody else's 
contributions I must conclude that  "Zoo-Tea" is probably the correct 
choice, not "Zuh-Tea" or "Zut-Tea"
