Show Musical giant, Lonibardo, to play at VMH Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians will present two shows at the Valley Music Hall Friday and Saturday, April 12 and 13 at 8:30 p.m. He is one of the few individuals individ-uals to become a legend within his lifetime. In musical circles, he is regarded re-garded as so fabulous that a critic once remarked he could fill auditoriums, night clubs, theatres, dance halls, and sell millions of records even if he were to use an orchestra containing con-taining only two fiddles and two pianos. Lombardo is the first to pooh-pooh such an idea, pointing point-ing out that an orchestra is successful only if it continues giving the public that which merits acceptance. It is the Lombardo philosophy that is responsible for his unique position in the field of popular music. Year after year Lombardo and his Royal Canadians Ca-nadians have been voted tops in official polls among editors and the general public. But Lombardo is more than a musical giant. His productions produc-tions at Jones Beach, New York have been hailed by critics crit-ics as among the most successful success-ful spectacular shows of this generation. He is also part owner of Guy Lombardo's Port-O-Call, on Tierra Verde Island off the coast of St. Petersburg. |
