My name is John Whiteman, which has for the last eighty or so years, been pronounce "Whitman".
This is crap.
I went to the Vanguard Coffee Shop in Westport in Kansas City, Missouri when I was a kid and heard Brewer and Shipley publicly perform this song for the first time ever.
The name "Whiteman" has been pronounced "Whitman" because a Great Uncle chose to deny his heritage.
To that I now say, "Buffalo shit!"
Henceforth, I shall be what I should have been from the start:
John White Man.
See, Grandma, who was born on the Res, liked this Kraut guy and well......
..you know......
