I remember watching Guy Lombardo & the Royal Canadians with my parents on New Year's Eve. It was a really big deal to be able to stay up and ring in the New Year with my parents and my 4 siblings. At midnight we'd run out and yell and bang old pots and pans and have a grand old time. Great memories.
In his later years on the air, I think we started watching other broadcasts that were a bit more contemporary, but the old days when we were children are the better memories.
