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

April 1, 2006 - Cape Coral, Florida

As a teenager in the late 50’s I used to listen to the Hound on KB. And my radio interests increased when I would spend a Saturday afternoon at WINE on Cayuga Drive in Williamsville answering phones and running errands for George.

He taught me so much about the business and was instrumental in me following through in a broadcast career, even though it became a part-time love. And later visiting “The Hound” in the Delaware Ave. recording studios where he let me use the facilities to produce a demo tape, and through the Rand building days.

We lost a pioneer way before we should have, but the time he was with us will always be cherished.

Dig man, the Hound!
