[78-L] Another pronunciation question

[kil at roadrunner.com.invalid]

Does anyone remember Mac Ceppos?
Session violinist and sometimes vocalist, active for over 50 years, starting back in the 78 era.
I assume his last name would be pronounced SEH-poes.
Unless he is of Italian ancestry, in which case it might be CHEH-poes.
Does anyone remember hearing how Mac, himself, referred to himself?
Maybe someone remembers him.  He was still working in the 60s and maybe into the 70s.
