She was singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" 1925: a small woman with a midwestern accent bumps
Illinois- late 19th century- 1st she was Lurancy, then she was Mary, then she was Lurancy again...(well,she might've been someone else before this, but the records have been lost...) After this, there are possible sightings, instances where she may or may not have popped up... 1915: an unknown woman in a black dress & very large hat "singing like an angel on the bow" as the Lusitania went down. She was singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" 1925: a small woman with a midwestern accent bumps into Hadley Hemingway on a train in France.

The "A" side is "When I was You're Girl". The "B" side is "Take Me Out to the Ballgame". John Cale of the Velvet Underground purchases 3 of 8 sold. 1975: a woman by the name L.Vennum is arrested after evidence points to her in 6 or 7 cases involving "fires of unknown origin".
