Potomac Street, bandleader Guy Lombardo (right) poses with (from left) Fire Chief H.E. &quot;Sonny&quot; Cannon, Brunswick City Councilwoman Nellie Roby and business leader Harry Nicholson. Lombardo and the band played at least seven Easter Sundays in a row in the 1950s and &#039;60s, according to Cannon in a 1967 Washington Post interview.<br /> <br /> According to Wayne Smith: &quot;I&#039;m not really sure of the year but in 1963 or &#039;64 as a teen, I was playing in a band called Larry and the Lads. Sonny Cannon had us play along side of Guy Lombardo at one of those dances.<br /> I was too young then to realize what a wonderful opportunity that was. As i have gotten older, I understand what a special event that was for me playing in a packed fire hall at 13 years old and getting to meet Guy Lombardo. Very special. Thank you Sonny Cannon.<br /> <br /> (Photo courtesy of John Roby Morsberger)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Smoketown Music]]</div>
