When I was a boy growing up in Kenmore, New York, my older brother used to play the radio after “lights out,” and we would listen to The Hound, often broadcasting live from The Zanzibar on Williams Street, playing Rhythm & Blues tunes, and talking to us like he knew us. I had a classmate whose father knew The Hound, and I got an autographed picture. It’s been lost, but I still remember the inscription, “To Kihm, one cool cat.” He was an original, a pioneer, and truly cool, a good man. Thanks for putting up this website.
