Yup, it's important to stress that how you pronounce his name is "no big deal" to Dick himself . . one of the nicest guys, as well as one of the finest musicians, on this (or any other!) planet!

(In a recent post on r.m.celtic - or thereabouts - Dick said something to the effect that if people can't pronounce his name correctly that's his problem for having a "difficult" name).
