Muzic Box was owned by Robert Williams, who originally owned the Warehouse and changed it to the Muzic Box after Frankie left and Robert needed a new DJ. Ron was recruited.
Check http://www.noctis.com/nightmagazine/ronhardy/ , http://suenomartino.net/ronhardy.htm , and Deephousepage.com for a good history on him. Some of his recorded mixes are great, others are just purely historical. *They were groundbreaking at the time, so don't be critical. Ron's skills were fine tuned in those times, but mainly his tune selection was the key.
Anyone looking for some of Ron's musicial selections can find them in "Keep On" magazine #4 (with a young Larry Heard on the cover). Inside the magazine is a reprinted copy of a "Hit Thing" Magazine article contributed by Daniel Wang (Balihu's owner, really nice guy, and talented Artist) that contains a copy of House's Top 100 songs, which are mostly his disco side but you can find more evidence of his diverse genious on todays labels such as SJNR, Eskimo, Clone, Magick Cutz, Automan, Disco Rotic, etc.
