[78-L] Johnny Bode

[Kristjan Saag]

Don't know about the English pronunciation. Bode's career in England was 
probably too short to give him an official English pronunciation. But in 
Swedish it was: "ion'ni boo'deh" (rhymes somewhat with Ron E. Who'deh), 
but the Swedish o is sometimes pronounced more like the long vocal sound 
in French joux or doux or sous - with the lips slightly more closed than 
in "who". There's no English equivalence to this sound, as far as I know.
I guess you've read about Johnny Bode's adventures - for those who
