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

I remember George “Hound Dog” Lorenz quite well. In fact he was the first DJ to play Rock & Roll on KB. He said “THE HOUNDS AROUND” at the beginning and end of his show. For that and many other reasons KB is and always will be my #1 radio station. I wished KB would have some kind of a write up about the Kipler Brothers that had the band called The Buffalo Rebels and made the song Wild Weekend, that became a big hit and sold over a million records back in the early 1960’s. I also wish KB would try to get hold of a copy of the Rebels appearing on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand back in the late 50’s or early 60’s. I’d be the first in line to buy a copy of that gig from you if it’s allowed. Would very much appreciate what ever you can do about the above. Thank you! Al
