Default Guy Lombardo

I loved his music.

He lived in the town next to us on Woodcleft Canal in Freeport, LI. He raced those sleek wooden boats in the 30s and 40s, I guess, and kept one or two tied up behind his house. His brother was named Derf, which was Fred spelled backwards. It was reported that he had a neighbor who was upset by the noise from frequent parties. When the noise became too much the neighbor would yell "Guy Lumbago" and throw things over the fence.

Using the various channels It was easy to bring a boat from his place to Zach's Bay.
