Surname spelling

edit

Most releases in Matelo's lifetime use the spelling "Ferret", also commentators in recent books (Michael Dregni, Alain Antonietto). The recent (2014) Hot Club Records release "Rare Recordings" uses "Ferré" which is the spelling preferred by Matelo's sons Boulou etc., but I have always believed this to be a modernization. To cope with this I have set up a separate wikipedia entry for "Matelo Ferré" which uses that spelling but redirects here at this time. NB Wikipedia's policy with regard to the naming of pages for persons is:

"The page name uses preferably the most commonly used version of the name of that person" [1]Tony1212 (talk) 00:15, 14 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
