Hi, Larry, I've been busy with family (the kid is visiting and we had a late supper), but listening from the start. Bob Dorough has been a favorite of mine for a long time. It made me so sad to read the news this morning, even though he made it to his 90s.

Is it du-ROW or DER-row?

I was just too old to have watched the Rock series.
