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

Like many, I teethed on the Hound in my high school years (IHS Class of ’61). Particularly amazing was the reach of 50,000-watt clear channel nighttime AM radio. I believe I recall that he used to salute the servicemen in Guantanamo Bay! From Ithaca, I could pick up the Hound, Dick Biondi (sp?) from Chicago (I forget the call letters, WLS?), and later Cousin Brucie on WABC in New York.
