I remember when I was a kid,in the mid fifties we used to go to the movies alot with my mother,aunt,and 4 year older sister.The theater was the Colvin Theater,and before the show they advertised The Hound on the screen.Just a still with a hound logo behind a filmy curtain.I was young but my sister listened to the radio constantly.In the kitchen doing dishes,doing homework,,in the car whereever we went.Just being around,her all that music sunk in.When the older guys in the neigborhood were hanging around her and her friends.They’d talk about all the cool songs they heard on the radio,at night.That what I wanted to hear,to be just like the big guys.
So I listened and though I truley didn’t understand at the time,the foundation to everything I enjoy today,was because of my sister and The Hound.They’re both gone but I’ll bet she’s still listening.
