Dhani

[MissusLennon]

I feel stupid for asking this, but how do you pronounce Dhani? I've been saying it DAH-nee, am I right? wrong?

[Hari's Chick]

That's a fine question! images/icons/smile.gif Usually, the dh has a soft 'h' sound. But the way George says it, it is like "Danny", but with a cute little English accent. images/icons/wink.gif

thanks a ton mate

[fantasma]

I always thought it was pronounced like "Donny"...hrmmm... graemlins/images/icons/confused.gif

Here is a wonderful excuse (like we needed one! images/icons/wink.gif ) to bring back an interview with Dhani & Jeff~~

Wow! Great clip, thanks for posting that Hari!
I like the bit about Sgt. Pepper, hehe very George-esque little anecdote.
I can never get over how much Dhani looks like his dad! Amazing and thanks again!

And since both the Canada AM guy and Jeff Lynne pronounced it Danny, I guess it's pronounced Danny lol

Bless you for posting this, Hari's Chick! Thank you!

Yes, I had seen this clip before but had forgotten all about it. It was quite a bit shorter than the previous clip shown. I too, really liked Dhani's little George Sgt. Pepper anecdote. And of course, George had to have the last word! images/icons/grin.gif *. It was great to see and hear Dhani & Jeff again. Thanks, HC!

I can't get the video clip when I go into this. I just get an article and a picture of George. I'm probably just being stupid and missing something, but I wish I could see it! graemlins/cry1.gif

You're welcome you guys!

Siobhan, See the picture of Dhani? Click right above his head...right where his halo should be. images/icons/smile.gif It's under the topic "related video".

[Siobhan]

I don't get a picture of Dhani, just a small one of George in the top right hand corner, and then a big balnk space, and then the article.

[FPSHOT]

Siobhan, that is strange, because I don't see any George picture on the right hand side.

Maybe try again

There is a big space in between this and the article which suggests that something should be there (like maybe a picture of Dhani!) but nothing appears.

It is very strange! graemlins/images/icons/confused.gif

Back to how to pronounce Dhani's name...well, last time we saw her at Beatlefest (two years ago), a friend of mine asked Louise Harrison how to pronounce it, and she said it was "Danny." She oughta know, she's his aunt...

[anurag]

If the name really should sound like the two music notes Dha and Ni,it should rhyme with bunny.

[Hari's Chick]

Thanks, anurag! images/icons/smile.gif

I believe Dha and ni are also preceeded on the scale by Ma and Pa, right? So...
Ma...Pa...Dha ni...cute! images/icons/smile.gif

[Savoy Truffle]

And, so George! graemlins/laugh5.gif
