Pronounciation of Thile?

[NCFreak]

How do you pronounce Thile? Is it Thile, like Kyle? Or Thile, like tea leaves? I think it's the second one, but if it is, do you pronounce the 'h'?

Hey, it actually talks about the pronounciation of his name in the insert in (I THINK) the Stealing Second album....there's like a whole big article and (I THINK) it was written by like, Sam Bush or something. But don't quote me on that, right now I'm at my grandma's house and don't have the CD case with me.

Yeah, that is where I learned the correct way to pronounce it. It was written by Pete Wernick, the great banjo player for Hot Rize, he uses wheelie to relate to it.
