Can’t believe I didn’t find this website sooner!! What can I add that hasn’t already been said. After supper, from the start on KB, radio was on waiting for that famous “HOWL”, all the cares of the day were set aside at least for a few hours.
Growing up in the Bailey Delavan area listening to Patti Page, Dean Martin, etc. in the early 50’s on the radio and already a Big Elvis fan at 9yrs, by 10 I got into the music of Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley and too many more to mention. To this day I still have alot of the LP’s and now I listen to that music on CD’s though.
The way he manipulated the volume controls fading in and out of music during his commercials and intros to the next song was great! Never had to walk away from the radio during his show because it was boring. Thanks Hound for the introduction into some great music whether it Jazz, Blues, R&B or RnR. Hope You’re still “Movin’ & Groovin” up there………
Later!!
