The Radio Pioneer Who Unleashed Rock 'n' Roll on the Airwaves and Ignited a Revolution!

Growing up in Toronto in the 50,s I soon found the “sound of the hound” on wkbw from Buffalo and was hooked. When “The Hound” brought a rock and roll show to Loews Uptown theater in Toronto I was quickly in line for tickets and took in my 8mm camera and managed to get 5 min. of the show.

I have put this clip on video and show it to all who want to see real rock and roll from the 50.s. Cal perkins was the headliner but I have forgotten the other performers and who dearly like to know who they are.

I saw Elvis when he came to Toronto, and Pat Boone and Fats Domino and many other performers but the show at Loews will always remain the best in my memory.
