My name is Stephen J. Loyacano; however, I'm a TV-Film writer-director known as Stephen Lord. The correct spelling of Loyacano is Loiacano. I don't believe there is a "y" in the Italian alphabet. Also, that surname is original Greek, not Italian. The Greeks were on the isle of Sicily first.
My grandfather was Giacamo Loyacano and my grandmother was Angela Saladino. All the men in my family, including me once, were professinal musicians. My father, Stephen, was a band leader, later a night club owner, then a bowling alley proprietor (on St. Charles) and finally, he created an owned the "Lucky Dog" hot dog carts. Would like to hear from other Loyacanos.
