Good question, Tom. Like you, I've always pronounced it the same as what you get when Count Basie backs up Frank Sinatra.

You must have heard some silly talking Yankee from New England.

try Mu-zak

Hi Hortist,

Well he was from New Joisey and everyone knows that we do not have accents :-)

So if I understand you correctly, it is NOT pronounced like, as Gardenlad put it, "what you get when Count Basie backs up Frank Sinatra"??
