Pronounce D'Addario

[Grommet]

I always pronounce it J-74s.

I was very uncomfortable with the dairy pronunciation until I saw this:

To the tune of Rattlin' Bog.

Hi ho da-dairy-oh
Stringing up the mandolin-o
Hi Ho da-dairy-oh
I poked my finger now its bleeding-oh!

.........

Hi ho da-dairy-oh
Stringing up the mandolin-o
Hi Ho da-dairy-oh
I poked my finger now its bleeding-oh!


Contiunue on as you will.

Guess I can live with it now.

I always assumed the name was Italian (or at least a related Romance language). Isn't there any mandolinist here that speaks Italian?

All this Hi Ho D'Addario stuff reminded me of something. If you ever drive on the CT Turnpike, somewhere near the Fairfield/Bridgeport line you'll see an enormous oil storage tank that has this logo on it:



I have not been able to find a full-size photo of the actual thing - it is enormous, very impressive. In my reserch I did learn the story behind it - the founder of the company (paving, oil, and such) was named Frank D'Addario, and his nickname was "Hi-Ho." Of course. So the company, D'Addario Industries, started a division, Hi-Ho Petroleum. They do not use "The Farmer In The Dell" as their theme song.

BTW, if I ever meet Alexandra Daddario, I am not going to bother her with questions about her spelling...

JB, that's awesome, maybe Jamie can use that photo for his album cover

Tim, see page one .

[JEStanek]

Nice. I"m not sure if an industrial tank fits with the ethos of the Rattlin' Bog, but, there it is, eh? I feel like a thief!

The correct pronunciation is "J74s"

Well dang, Dang!

[journeybear]

Well, oil does come from old bogs, be they rattlin' or nay. Hundreds of millions of years old, but still ...

[JEStanek]

Looks like I can polish my fingerboard next time I'm down in the Rattlin Bog restringing with Da-Dairy-Ohs.

From JB - "BTW, if I ever meet Alexandra Daddario......". And just which make/model of Mandolin does she play JB ?. AS if anybody would really give a toot !,

providing you're not talking like someone on the andy griffith show, it's: "ded-ar-ri-o" - credimi ...

I had always pronounced it Dee Adair ee oh. Now I'll just sing my song, and thanks Larry!

As a proper mando snob, I say the H in GHS like the Brittish, "haitch".

Sorry to be a pedant, if you really want to be a British snob 'H' is correctly pronounced " 'aitch". "Haitch" is a sign of poor-education, or that you're a Brummie (someone from Birmingham, West Midlands, not Alabama...) or a Scouser (from Liverpool). (from an actual British snob).

On the subject of D'Addario I've always pronounced it Daddario (with the 'ar' like in 'arm' or 'army') now I know it's like 'air'. Always learning new things on Mandolin Cafe. Happy Easter everybody BTW.

[JEStanek]

To quote Adele, "Fank you." I shall modify my haitch to aitch without any heart-ache.

[Steve Ostrander]

Duh-derry-oh seems appropriate....

[journeybear]

From JB - "BTW, if I ever meet Alexandra Daddario......". And just which make/model of mandolin does she play, JB? As if anybody would really give a toot!

Exactly. As long as she uses D'Addario strings!

[billkilpatrick]

our esteemed ex-prime minister used d'addario as well ...

[journeybear]

A rather different context, sir! I assume there were no strings attached.

Honestly, I don't understand all the fuss over this. I've always pronounced it "D'Addario,", and always will.

[billkilpatrick]

jb - you're tireless ... a veritable toro!

[delsbrother]

Hey, I'm serious!

Deer-mond?
Dee-ar-mond?
Dar-mond?
Dar-mon?

[Marty Henrickson]

Hey, I'm serious!

Deer-mond?
Dee-ar-mond?
Dar-mond?
Dar-mon?

Dee -are-MOND, maybe?

If I ever had the chance to meet Alexandra Daddario, I may not even remember her name... or my name..

[George R. Lane]

Since we are learning how to talk correctly. Is it Monteleone, with the e pronounced or silent?

[sunburst]

silent
