Members poolshark Posted July 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 1, 2010 You are permitted to place the emphasis on the first syllable if you are an elderly African-American blues singer raised in the Mizzippi Delta.Everybody else is advised to emphasise the second. I'd consider myself located in the heart of the deep South, and pronunciation seems to go both ways for a few different reasons, not the least of which is the staggering amount of old country, blues and bluegrass players around. It's kind of like the discrepancy between 'hybrid picking' (/snoot) and chicken pickin' (/yeehaw). Either is acceptable, but you only get to pick one.
