About the Show

Paul Ray is a Texas Music hall of famer and has been a musician for more than 40 years. On Monday, he takes you through the night with the blues, and on Thursday, it’s a little bit of everything to keep you going.

About Our Hosts

Jeff Johnston
In Austin since: 1984

If I had more time, I would...: Answer 'About Our Hosts' questions

Paul Ray
In Austin since: 1970 (UT from 1960-'63)

Favorite thing(s) about Austin: George Arredondo's enchiladas and the Blues.

If I had more time, I would...: Answer this question.

Work/on-air history:
In late 1978, I joined Bill Bentley's "Twine Time," after leaving Paul Ray & The Cobras Band, and I began Jazz programming in the 1980s.

How I choose the music I play during my show:
Blues, Vintage R&B, Early R&R, Motown, Soul, and Jazz are authentic American inventions and have always been a huge part of radio's existence. I try to keep it that way.

What I do when I'm not on air: I work on the next show.

A few of my key artists: I have no car radio, nor MP3.

I'm telling all my friends about: James Hunter, People Gonna Talk

Top 5 favorite or influential records: Jimmy Reed, Ray Charles, Howlin' Wolf 45. 78 RPM singles from before there was a KUT-FM
