• Notes

  Residence: There are many mentions of Bill Bonyun performing at venues in Brookhaven hamlet and elsewhere nearby from the late 1940s onward. In 1949 he was referred to as being "of Brookhaven." The first specific reference in the Patchogue Advance so far found to their residing on Burnett Lane is 21 Jan 1954. In the late 1950s, he established his own recording studio, Heirloom Records, and, with his wife, produced several albums. The studio was located on the second floor of the old Brook Store (Site ID Br07).
