‘The Big Heavy’ would start to pound on every car radio at the drive-in, or wherever the kids would gather. It would immediately be tuned up loud as we heard…’The Hound’s Around….We’re rockin’ in record, baby…from the Zanzibar man…for Big Bob and Pal Al. And don’t forget all you hound-doggers, Don’t pound the slab…Take a Madison Cab…George Lorenz would punctuate the licks of his theme song, ‘The Big Heavy’ with obviously his own slogans for all of his sponsors. He was the coolest DJ I’ve every heard. I often tell my kids of those fabulous times at the birth of rock n roll and how it was the off-spring of the Rhythm n Blues music that was played by the semi-underground DJ’s, led by The Hound. I’d love to get a tape of one of his programs.
