      Can’t believe he was in his late 40s/early 50s during the SHR era. I always pictured some 20-something “hippie” type at the other end of that voice. Without his voice, you probably wouldn’t have been able to call it “rock”. It would have been “Schoolhouse Folk” or, in this case, “Schoolhouse Jazz”.
