I don't remember my parents, watching Guy Lombardo. We didn't have TV when I lived at home, but I remember him on the radio, not only NY eve, but at other times. My favorite was, "Enjoy Yourself, It's Later Than You Think". I have several of his tunes on my iPod, including Red Sails in the Sunset, Bell Bottom Trousers, Auld Lang Syne, Penny Serenade, etc. His sound was in the Paul Whiteman style. By the late 40's his sound was dated, but I liked his ricky tick.
