"I thought the same thing... "Tony"?  That is a weird name.  But shrugged and said out loud to nobody "there are lots of weird names." I like it even more that it was his son. George Lansing composed a nice little piece…"

"Oh!  Thanks."

"I think Tony was Oakley's Sons name. Likewise he also named a piece after his wife “Winifred Mazurka”"
