How is his name pronounced?


I found a factory sealed record by him, live from Montreax fest 1977, he is missing teeth so I knew it was legit zydeco.

Clifton

Actually just last week I happened to hear an interview w/his son

He pronounces it "Sha-Neer" AND "Shen-yay"

Depends on the situation/context. In one song I heard he pronounced it "Sha-neer" so it would rhyme w/an "ear" word

Except in Monroe, where it's pronounced 'shinny'

In the early 70s we would drive in from Texas to see Clifton at Jay's Lounge and Cockpit (yes, they had chicken fights in the back!)
