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

The Hound was an important part of my teen years in Syracuse in the mid ’50s. We used to drive to the highest points in town, usually a city park, to pull in WKBW before sundown just to hear George Lorenz.

I’ve saved a 78 copy of “The Big Heavy” all these years and still remember meeting George in the parking lot at WKBW one night after he finished his program.

He was one of a kind, an incredible talent and an inspiration for
my broadcasting career. Thanks for a great website in his memory.
