I was five years old my older brother had just started school. I hated kindergarten and soon dropped out. I watched bandstand on WFIL every afternoon there was hardly anything else on.I remember Bob Horn and the lip-synching. I’m sure that’s where I got my love of rock ‘n’ roll. An escape from the loneliness of a five-year-old. I loved the Little Richard songs, and Fats Domino.And of course Chuck Berry. Hail, hail rock and roll!
