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

I became a fan of the “Hound Dog” as a young boy growing up in Buffalo. My father thought that Rock and Roll would destroy the world so I had to turn WKBW off quickly when he came home from work. I loved Goerge’s theme song “Big Heavy”. I finally got a copy of it from my wife for my 60th birthday. I play it all the time and it never fails to bring back fond memories of the Hound Dog and the great music he played. Thanks for your wonderful tribute to an American Icon.
