Sidney Robertson Cowell refers to the lirica as the "liritza."

W.P.A. Field Report notes: "We had to move out to the concrete floor of Mr. Dedo's unused garage because he stamped his foot so hard keeping time that he ruined the first record we made."

"Mr. Dedo came to the U.S. in 1904 from near Dubrovnik, Dalmatia [Croatia], Yugoslavia."
