Summary
At one of his many appearances with The Royal Canadiens at the ballroom above the old Brunswick fire hall on W. Potomac Street, bandleader Guy Lombardo (right) poses with (from left) Fire Chief H.E. "Sonny" 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 '60s, according to Cannon in a 1967 Washington Post interview.
According to Wayne Smith: "I'm not really sure of the year but in 1963 or '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. 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.
