T206: A question of pronunciation...

[barrysloate]

It was my assumption that the first syllable is stressed, but it's only an educated guess.

I thought, and was pretty sure, it was Sweet CAP o ral.

Sweet ka-pour-al, with a light emphasis in the middle.

I also say "goo-dey" not "gow-dey"

I believe the answer is included in the streetball scene towards the beginning of The Pride of the Yankees. One of the kids mentions having some "Sweet CAP-oral" cards.

Oh, and as for Goudey, everything I've seen and heard indicates it's pronounced "GOW-dee", as in Curt Gowdy.

That's pretty good evidence. Does anybody know how you are supposed to pronouce High Chaparral?

The family members of the people who ran it also referred to it as "gow-dey," which is why I no longer call it "goo-dey" like I did for 20+ years.
