Somehow or other this category name has ended up with lower case l for the last name. How can this be fixed? jayoval 07:45, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Is it possible to get a reason from fnorp for changing Holland to The Netherlands? (jayoval 23:46, 6 May 2006 (UTC))


 * Actually, I've decided to revert the change - I've known all my life that Holland on only a part of the Netherlands. Known so long that it must have been from primary school geography! I'm happy to make the assumption that the source I took my info from also had a similar education and that the music they were talking about really was from the Holland part of the Netherlands.(jayoval 00:51, 7 May 2006 (UTC))

Jeannie Lewis's full name at birth was "Jean Elspeth Lewis". "Jeannie" is (or was) an epithet based on her diminutive size and/or her middle initial. She was an only child. Her father, Samuel P. Lewis, was a strong advocate of the Australian Communist Party and was heard during the 1940's on Radio 2KY Sydney. I knew her when she was an arts undergraduate at the University of Sydney in the early 1960's. Krenon (talk) 22:49, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

CORRECTION TO THE ABOVE ENTRY: In fact Jean's full name is "Jean Ethel Lewis", and not Jean Elspeth Lewis as stated above. ALSO The name Jeannie came to being when Clifford Hocking, preparing PR for a Melbourne concert, suggested that Jeannie sounded better than Jean on the poster.

I grant that you are in a better position to know these things. I got her middle name from a list of the graduates of the University of Sydney, and she was commonly known as Jeannie around Sydney University in 1963 and 1964. Was that after the concert you refer to? (Krenon (talk) 10:36, 24 January 2009 (UTC))

I'm not sure but that info is from Jeannie herself so I guess that's as close to official as you can get, Cheers.Boothman123 (talk) 05:26, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
