Great player & all but how's his name pronounced?
Is it "Bozzio" (short "o")...
..."Bohzzio" (long "o", like in "Bozo")...
..."Botzzio" (short "o" & Italian "t/z", like in pizza)...
...or "Boatzio" (long "o" & Italian "t/z") ?

Good question; I've never really thought about it before. I've always pronounced his name like "Bozo", but I now think the "true" pronunciation would have the z's said the way they would be in the word "pizza."

...but I don't want to keep guessing.
Surely there's someone here who's actually dealt with TB & who can say for sure.

It's Bo - Z - O, I just listened to Frank Zappa's
Titties & Beer which he converses with Bozzio ~
that would be Bo as in Bo jackson, Z like the letter, and O also like the letter.
I would think Frank would know the correct
pronunciation, no ?

If that pronunciation is good enough for the Grand Wazoo, it's good enough for me!
