Liota's

Guy Lombrdo owned a home on a canal in Freeport, Long Island in the 40s. His boat, Tempo IV, was parked in the canal next to the house, and it could be seen as we passed by on the road. We usually were driving to the end of the road, to a place where we could buy steamed clams. It was called "Liota's East Point House." At some point Guy Lombardo bought the place as an investment and changed the name to "Guy Lombardo's East Point House," but eveyone still called it Liota's.

Free plug deleted

Just removed a gratuitous plug for Nike. Nice try, junior marketers - your boss won't see this one. Johnno2 15:30, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two things. One, the plug was for Nikon, and two, the sponsorship was added nearly a year before you removed it, by a local Freeport booster, not a corporate marketer. Check the edit history. Chubbles 02:17, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Museum

The paragraph about the Museum is dripping with innuendo. Reading between the lines, I assume there is a dispute between the City and the former curator. Would someone please put in some solid information with a reference? Surely there must have been something in the local newspaper. Rees11 (talk) 00:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I did it myself. Rees11 (talk) 00:44, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tributes

I'd like to remove the entire "Tributes" section. It seems trivial and not notable. Rees11 (talk) 00:43, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Easy listening

According to the Easy listening article, this style didn't develop until the middle of the century, and Lombardo is not listed as one of its players. I seem to remember Guy saying they started out playing dance/pop (1920s), and stuck with it when other bands moved on to swing and later styles. He also said, "Tin Pan Alley gave us the music that was our trademark." So I'm taking out the part about easy listening. Rees11 (talk) 15:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
