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

Sometime in the early to mid 60’s my father bought our first AM-FM radio. FM of course, then as now, sounded better but it was essentially all elevator music. I was determined to find something better on that band. Surfing the band, I tripped across WBLK Buffalo quite by accident. Eureka! I was hooked. It was theme song and start start of the Hound Dog Show, starring the great George Lorenz. I was hooked. That great sould music just wasn’t available anywhere in this area, except possible very late at night on very distant, fuzzy AM stations. The Hound was simply the collest DJ, to boot. It couldn’t get better. I spread the word to all of my friends and they agreed.

Rest in Peace Hound Dog; you were simply the best
