[Dixielandjazz] Pronunciation

[ROBERT R. CALDER]

Refreshing to read evidence of an interest in correct pronunciation. 
Not something the BBC and other UK broadcasters give a beggar about 
(cf. Strasbourg as Strasberg!!!)


You can swear like a Navvy 
and still be savvy 
and on this who could be SAVVIER 
than Jack Dupree singing Gravvier 
sure as a Shankhar was Ravi!


-- and unlike those sloppy Englanders who study Aaht in drorring Schooze --
he pronounced the actual, present and all there terminal R 
(I think he's rather celebrating an earlier composition with a more recent one.
but you have the pronunciation straight from the Champion's mouth
