Talk about memories,where does one start when talking about George Lorenz and WKBW! I was fooling around with an old tube radio one night about 1957 and heard something I had never been exposed to before. I think it was something by Larry Williams. The DJ who introduced the record had a voice like a gravel road, but I was hooked.I tuned in every night from then on until that awful night when the ol Hound Dog wasn’t there anymore. I continued to listen, but it was never the same again. When the sound of the Big Heavy came over the air at 7:15 all was well with the world. Nobody else was playing artists like Link Wray,Bo Diddley and the likes. If George liked a certain tune he would play it over and over again.Finding this site, is like finding an old friend I havn’t seen in years. I just hope the old HOUND DOG is still spinning records upstairs when we all get there.
