Lodestone Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I think I've been pronouncing his name wrong. I'm not making a strange joke. I want to get his name right. Thanks. Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goatboy Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hmmm, I'm in agreement with Off White: "Backer" (rhymes with Green Bay PACKER.) Not Bach-Har (rhymes with Jean-Luc Picard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvashtarkatena Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 We had a family of Bachar's down the road where I grew up. They pronounced it BOCK'R. I would think the closer you get to Chicago, the more that O grows a little tail at the end. Just thought I'd provide some critical input to this important discussion.

Sam Page Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I lived in Mammoth Lakes, CA years ago and bumped into John Bachar from time to time. I even jammed with him once (he didn't like my guitar playing). Anyway, people who knew him personally pronounced his name "backer", as in "I am a backer of CascadeClimbers.com". However, I never heard John Bachar pronounce his last name, so I cannot be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
