I was a little boy, I’d bought a cheap transitor radio at Ralph’s discount on Main Street, a long time ago, my father was and is a Baptist minister in Buffalo, although he’s very sick right now. George would do the over night on BLK, and I would take that transistor radio and put it on the window ledge and lay looking out my window at the Kensington expressway from Grape St. ( you could see the Jefferon exit from my window where the old Nehi bottling plant used to be), listening to the Hounnnnnd dog – until I fell asleep.
It’s funny I have a freind whose just revived the Old Cash Box Magazine, he lives in S.Carolina, and I was telling him about George the other day, explaining where my love of blue’s came from, and that was George, he’d play Bobby Blue Bland, and anything else he wanted to play, you could always hear something different.
And I was telling him, that I wondered where some of those old tapes went to, because Cash Box has a label to now. And it would be wonderful to release Georges show, on CD. just a thought.
In anycase what a wonderful thing that you have this website.
