[Dixielandjazz] Pronouncing "Enevoldsen"

[Ed Danielson]

Gerard and Jerry, I've always said "ENN-vold-son," because that's what every 
jazz DJ I ever listened to said.  I've heard other people say 
"ENN-eh-vold-son."  I hadn't heard "enn-VOLD-son" before.  His ancestry is 
Danish, but he was born in Montana, so it's probably anybody's guess.  He 
was a great modern-mainstream player who also played sax and bass.
