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

As I remember, one of the reasons The Hound left KB was because they wouldn’t let him use the word FUNKY.

While driving down Paderewski Drive in my Chevy convertible on the first night The Hound was broadcasting from his station WBLK, he opened the show by repeatedly saying FUNKY, FUNKY, FUNKY and continued to do so all night long between songs.

It’s great to hear his voice again. Thanks for the memories.
