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

I grew up in the hard coal region of PA a little town called Mahanoy City. I think it was about 1956-56 I had my first car and me and my girlfriend (Now my wife of 52 Years) would park near a town called Frackville because it was higher up than other towns in the ares so we couls pick up the radio station from Buffalo, Ny. to listen to “The HOUND”. So many memories. I still remember some of his commericals like. ‘You don’t need much bread at the Zanzibar or A buck or two down will hold your purchase at honest al’s. I don’t know why, but all of a sudden I started thinking about the hound out of the clear, so I thought I would write snething.
