[edit] Given name Lazar

I was at a Russian Ball in Canberra in 1984 where Larry Sitsky was the guest of honour. He made a short speech, told us a little of his life, and mentioned that he was born "Lazar Sitsky". People called him Larry when he came to Australia, and that's the name he's always known by now. But I imagine his legal name is still Lazar. I've found nowhere on Google that corroborates this, however. Can anyone confirm this, with a citation? -- JackofOz 03:33, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps the Oxford Companion to Australian Music (I think there's one) might have it? Aha, I've found it:

http://www.musicaustralia.org/apps/MA?function=showDetail&currentMapsRecord=ANL:MA~000000988337&scope=scope&sessionId=reuseSearchF1206F7E15F5A5CA64DE37CE1C80E8C71190877503550&simpleTerm=Sitsky&itemSeq=2&total=2&&returnFunction=searchResults&sessionId=reuseSearchF1206F7E15F5A5CA64DE37CE1C80E8C71190877503550&reuseSearch=true

It's at MusicAustralia (org by the NLA) and says his other names are Lazarus and Lazar. It in fact seems to be the source for the article as it was before I worked on it. Do you want to add the names? Sterry2607 07:27, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Will do. Thanks for the prompt response. -- JackofOz 07:40, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
