We loved trying to stay up to ring in the New Year--and we always watched Guy Lombardo! From 1963.

That Guy really knew how to put on a show and CBS was the place to be on New Year's Eve.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother would babysit while my parents went out for the night. Preparations included 7-up, a bowl of popcorn and boxes of junior mints my favorite. The old box of tin horns and noisemakers would be brought down from the attic days in advance. She'd usually be knitting in that ugly wing chair, I'd be struggling to keep my eyes open in front of a screen that was tiny by anyone's standards. Then that glorious moment when we all counted down with old lang syne played by Guy, opened the windows and made a lot of noise, then promptly passed out on the living room floor.
