You are very welcome and thanks to all the posters "above".......for their memories.
We too watched him on New Year's Eve with our parents, etc. and then as a married couple up until he was replaced with the "new" generation of music.
I recall my parents listening to the radio prior to the suppertime hour and Make Believe Ballroom (the show) often had his music.
I was born in 1945, so can remember the end of the 40's when we got our first television set and the parents watched Milton Berl and Imogene Coca?
I watched Farmer Grey and Farmer Brown (probably around age 4 ?) and of course all the World War II movies which abounded in 1950. Fighter pilots, etc. My husband's father BUILT HIS OWN T.V. and it was the first in their neighborhood. I guess that's when one could assemble a television with tubes, etc. My dad would change the tubes in the radios and t.v.'s.
THANKS TO EVERYONE who is remembering along with me...........
p.s. I do have Lombardo and Lombardi in the family tree......just can't make the connection to whom Guy Lombardo married. One branch of my father's family from Italy.....settled in Canada.
