In the early 50s we listened to the Sound of the Hound on WKBW every night.I used to take the bus to Buffalo when I was 15 to buy the records that I heard the Hound play – usually 78s – at that time Toronto radio had no hip music at all. When I first heard Bo Diddley I went to RABs to buy the record and played hookey for a whole week and just about wore the grooves off the record. The Hound and Bo Diddley changed my life and I thank you. Visited the Hound in his booth at the Zanz the night that Laverne Baker played there. I was 16 and probably the only white boy in the house but Oh what a night it was.
