Liza Jane[edit]

The article at Liza Jane is currently about the David Bowie record only. I suggest turning it into an article about "Liza Jane", with links to this article, the Bowie record article, and other Liza Janes. Discuss proposed move and best retitling of the Bowie record article at Talk:Liza Jane. -- Infrogmation (talk) 11:45, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Shiloh, Shiloh"?[edit]

There is also a folk song. The first verse runs:

Scraping up sand from the bottom of the sea/ Shiloh, Shiloh/ Scraping up sand from the bottom of the sea/ Shiloh, Liza Jane.

What relationship does this variant have to the subject of the article? Pittsburgh Poet (talk) 19:05, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The linked page/reference "Little Liza Jane, halfmoon music" now leads to one of those annoying contentless (linkfarm?) pages that search engines can't entirely rid themselves of. 192.225.128.3 (talk) 21:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Countess Ada De Lachau[edit]

As far as I know, no information has been found on the listed composer of the published tune "Countess Ada De Lachau", which may be a pseudonym. I note that there had been a Marquisate de Lachau in France, but it is listed as "Extinct 1806" List_of_French_marquisates#L. -- Infrogmation (talk) 18:04, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ada de Lachau (9 July 1866–14 June 1956) was a real person - her death notice in The Sentinel from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, states: "Ada Goudard de Lachau, who composed "Lil Liza Jane" and other well-known songs, died. The former Ada Louise Metz of Brooklyn, she was the widow of Count Fabien Goudard de Lachau." The birth year is uncertain - census information suggests it could be 1864. She married Fabien de Lachau in 1885. I'm not sure whether this information has been published in better sources. Whether she actually wrote the song is another matter, but it seems to be copyrighted to her. Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:54, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you much! I was just digging on newspapers.com and google, and came back here to state the same conclusion. Name in print in other variations, 1917 "Ideal" piano roll as "Countess Ada Delachaw"; some newspaper articles 1906 - 1916 as "De Lachan". Example uploaded. Cheers! -- Infrogmation (talk) 22:59, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

1885 wedding announcements as "de Lachand". Quite some variations! -- Infrogmation (talk) 23:18, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This, as well as your original post, suggest than "de Lachau" is the correct wording. Obviously, "u" and "n" are often confused in transcriptions of handwriting, which may explain the variation. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:29, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
