Upheld by Dean

Judy Canova Show rehearsal as
Eddie Dean and Ken Niles argued
about the correct pronunciation of
the good old Western word, "lasso."
Dean was rehearsing the new song,
III Lasso Rainbow for YOU

publicist Alma Sioux Scarberry.
Niles, who halls from Montana,
SWore up and down that the proper
way to pronounce the word was
'lass-u." Eddie maintained that in
Texas, the word was pronounced
"lass-o," with long 90" And be-
