As a kid growing up in Niagara Falls, the Hound was the absolute greatest on WKBW. His music was earthy, and easily separated from the commercialism of RnR to follow. I ‘m sure my deep interest in the blues originates with the Hound. No one who ever followed him at WKBW came close to having an impact on people as the Hound did. The fact that he broadcast live from a bar added an exotic flavor to the whole scene being painted in the mind’s eye of a teenager.
