Another conclusive piece of evidence in the chain of Lombardo sentimentality can be provided by Fred Luther who runs a small dance hall in the heart of the Pennsylvania mountains, in the town of Carrollton. He and Guy have been pals for years. Ever since 1927, to be exact, when Luther started out .to boost Guy's popularity, and Guy vowed to boost Fred's business. Last October, Guy played his tenth engagement in Carrollton, Pennsylvania, at the Fred Luther dance hall. From as far as a hundred miles away the Pennsylvania farmers will flock to see and hear the Lombardo music, and most of them can say, "I can remember him when — " When? That night Guy opened for the first time at Luther's, and the lady in the box office sold two hundred and ten tickets. Last year the number was well over four thousand! And all because Fred Luther and Guy Lombardo took a liking to each other, because Fred, during the days Guy was getting a start, wrote letters of recommendation to other managers, shifted bookings around so that Guy could make a little more money here and there. Just why Guy Lombardo has this sentimental attitude towards music and people is not hard to explain. He gets it from his father, Guy, Sr. It took Guy over three years to persuade Guy, Sr., to move from the old farm in London, Ontario, to the United States. And only when Guy had found a farm that was so similar in appearance to the London farm would Guy, Sr., even consider it. LAST September, just before the family ' was to move, Guy received a frantic letter from his mother. Guy, Sr., refused to leave the old homestead unless he could take his pet cow! Guy explained that he could get several cows that would be just as good right in the United States. Guy, Sr. stuck to his guns. It was a question of the cow going, or nobody going. So the cow went along with the Lombardos. A special trailer was built, and Guy, Sr. bought twenty tons of select Canadian hay_ for the cow to munch. The first night on the road the Lombardo family attempted to register at a very exclusive hotel. Guy, Sr., asked the manager, nicely enough, to find a place to keep the cow for the night. The manager, just as nicely, informed Guy, Sr., that he was not interested in handling accommodations for a cow. Guy, Sr., promptly struck his name from the register, and the remainder of the nights on the trip were spent in tourist camps! Just as Guy's father has this fine sentimental feeling towards the animals he has been around all his life, so has Guy that same sentimental, musical obsession with everything he comes in touch with. It is human. It is real. Before I left that afternoon, Guy told me about a conversation he had in a Chicago hotel a few months ago with his friend, Lou Gehrig. "Guy," Lou said, "the day I am too old to get up there at the plate, it will take the entire National and American league — with baseball bats — to drive me from the park!" And Guy answered: "Lou, if the time ever 'comes when I'm not leading an orchestra, it will be because I am too feeble to climb up on the band-stand." The two sentimental friends shook hands on that.
