Hi Paul. I am a friend of your son Brad and visited with him at Doug Runkel’s wedding.
There was a radio jingle, I think at Kikk AM in the early 1980′s that went “Houston, houston thats my hometown” Do you know this? It mentions various sites, like the Astrodome etc.
Hi Paul. We always enjoy your Sat evening shows, but let me say that we really enjoyed the show tonight. The selection of tunes was terrific. We are so appreciative that you do this each Saturday. You are truly a treasure in this city……………..and have been for so many years. Thanks !!
I have these instrumentals on tape and I don’t know the title or artist. Who could I go to that might know? Gary.
Paul,
Thank You for giving me the opportunity to spend time in the kitchen with my Mom listening to your show. Your show – no matter what station – was always on the kitchen radio as Mom cooked and I tried to sneak in & out with some goody. Dad always thanked you also for helping distract Mom!
They are both in Heaven now but through your show we are together every Saturday evening. Thank You Sir!
If you could work “Tangerine” into your mix it would make our day!!
Paul,
As a regular listener very much enjoy the music and your comments.
Would very much appreciate hearing Canadian Sunset by Hugo Winterhaulter, Glenn Miller’s Poinciana, and You, You, You by the Ames brothers.
Thanks and keep the good music coming!
Regards,
Doug
My husband is trying to find a song called Lonely Lover by Country Gentlemen. We have had no success locating this song .
He even remembers a verse of two
“I am a lonely lover, just a lonely lover
looking for someone whose lonely too.
Walking is so lonely, but what am I to do?
Will I ever find a heart that is lonely just like mine?
My mother and I listened to Paul Berlin when he was on KQUE in the early ’80s. I think my grandfather, John Studdert, was one his first advertisers when he got started in radio. My mother has discovered this website, and she is so excited to get to hear his show again. She is in Galveston, so the radio signal is not very good. She would love to hear him while she’s in the downstairs portion of her house, but her computer is upstairs. Is there any way to download some of the shows or get them as podcasts?
Thanks so much!
Sara Davis
Just re-discovered your show! I used to listen to you on the way home from work after long days when I first moved to Houston in 1998. And then the station changed format! I was so disappointed. So good to hear you, again.
How about “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” – one of my wife’s favorite!
Thank you!
MEH
Hi Paul, Dede and I are sitting here listening to you on her birthday, May 4th. Will you please play “Brazil” next Saturday?
Also anything by Nat King Cole (one of her favorites) would be appreciated. Miss seeing you and Nezzie and hope all is well.
Vangie Robertson

Paul,
We so enjoy your show and ALWAYS listen every Saturday we are able. We sing along to all the songs we know. Would you play “This Magic Moment” by Jay and the Americas ON MAY 18 for my husband Rick’s birthday. He is my sweet husband. Thanks a bunch!!
Lil
Hi Paul, My husband and I listen to you each weekend when we are at our little house by the beach in Galveston. It just ads to the relaxation of our time there. Thank you so much for what you do, you are indeed a treasure for Houston. I would like to hear the Nat King Cole song “that summer” I think that is what it is called. Thanks again and if you are playing, we will be listening.
Lynn Smith

Hi Paul,
Thanks for playing my requests last week; now that we have heard the good ones, how about one or two of the older crazy ones, such as Tony Pastor’s ” Twenty One Dollars A Day “, or for us old Ground Ponders of the 36th Div. – ” Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition “; or Tommy Dorsey’s ” Boogie Woogie ” or Gene Krupa’s ” Let Me Off Downtown “. Those all go back to 1940 – 1942.
Thanks again.

Paul, You played a song back in March from the great Johnny Mercer Bobby Darin album, Two of a Kind . How about some more from that one if you have it available? I Ain’t Gonna Give Nobody None Of My Jellyroll always makes me smile when I hear it.
I am also a big Joe Williams / Count Basie fan so anything by them would be nice.
Thanks
jerry
It’s GREAT to hear that very familiar great voice!
LUV IT!
Port Arthur, TX
Hi Paul,
Would you please play Artie Shaw’s, ” Stardust “, ” Deep Purple “, ” Smoke Gets in Your Eyes “, or Harry James’, ” Sleepy Lagoon “; I like the way back oldies.
Thanks.

Hey Paul, How about going way back to Vic Damone’s ” You’r Breaking My Heart “, or if not that then try Artie Shaw’s ” Frenesi “. Thanks again.
Ron Bonnel – Old Fire Eater – <|:)[-
Hey Paul – love your show and all your interesting and informative comments and information. However, during your brief comments regarding how you feel about today’s music, I must take exception to the use of the term “rap music”. In my humble opinion, I don’t think those two words should ever be paired.
No name jive parts 1&2 Glenn Gray
Paul, Your Grand-Niece was great!! Blake turned within 10 seconds of listening. She’s going to make it. LOVED HER.
thank you Paul for the song. we usually listen 6-8 but we had a party to go to at 7 so i wanted to make sure you could play it in the first hour.
thanks
again
Trey Magee
Hello Paul,

Hello again Mr Berlin,
You know, back in the 90s I had a radio on my desk at work and after several times finding a coworker had switched stations, I glued the dial to 102.9. When you folks left and the format changed I gently placed that radio in the trash can and made sure it went out with the trash since I no longer needed it. True story. But, I am curious about your opinion about the quality of music. Being a boomer, it seems as though the best is behind us. The 50s, 60s, and into the 70s seems way ahead of anything since. The great DJs, song writers, singers, and musicians just don’t seem to exist now. You, of course are an exception along with some of your piers. I’m just curious about your opinion, and thanks again.
Best regards,
Larry
Mr. Berlin,
I must admit to being a veritable newcomer to your vast fandom, discovering KQUE in the early ’90′s, and soon you were shifted over to KBME, even saddled with my old buddy Tim Collins (just kidding about the “saddled” part).
I’ve so missed you’re signature selections, from Leon Redbone to Bob Scobey w/ Clancy Hayes, from Miss Ella to Crystal Gayle.
Even more, I’ve missed the wonderful anecdotes that accompany so many and for which I’ve always “got a minute.” I can go to AllRecords to find the tunes, but even Mr. Fred doesn’t have any Paul Berlin on CD — or even vinyl.
I can recall that during the waning days of KBME, you played Aaron Neville’s version of “You Never Can Tell” every day for about two weeks. Was there any reason beyond partiality for that particular ditty? C’est la vie, huh?
I do have a request — my late Dad never laughed so hard as when his car radio would treat us to Slim Whitman’s “It’s a Sin to Tell a Lie.” (I’m conjuring up his smile as I type!) Can you bring a tear to these aging eyes?
Lastly, are you familiar with the work of a band named the Royal Crown Revue? If not, let me know (I’ll be listening!) and I can rectify that. I’m quite certain you’ll enjoy both the talent and the personality of these guys.
Thank you, sir — just thank you!!
P.S. Loved your singing on tonight’s show.
Hello Mr Berlin,
Thanks for the program, but like so many others, I wish you were on more often and longer.
Best regards,
Larry
Dear Mr.Berlin Thank God you are back on the airways ! My dear Mother’s Ghost in now happy again . The song(s) I want to request is by a group that I can not find for the life of me …even on the internet . The first on is called “Crying tonight for joy .” The second is called “One two now wooga Machooga .” If you could shed some light one who the artists were I would appreciate it . Now that you are back on the air , I do believe in Santa Claus again !!!
Sincerly ,
John Swearingen
Hey Paul, How about going way back into 1950 for some Don Cornell ( It Isn’t Fair ), or some Tony Martin ( There’s No Tomorrow, La Vie En Rose, etc. ), for us really old folks. Maybe even Anton Karas’ Third Man Theme. I have been listening to your shows since 1950, through each station, and remember so many of your stories about people you have known, I enjoy hearing those old stories even today.
Thanks for all the info throughout the years.
Ron Bonnel – The old Fire Eater – <|:){-
just wanted to say congrats saw in the news` paper last week good to hear you again. Regards EDDY
Dear Paul Berlin, never thought I’d write those words again after I graduated in 1957 from Milby and lost touch with Dinner Date on KNUZ. For several years, until graduation, most Houston high school kids did their homework while listening to you and for the requests we sent in for you to play. It was the cool thing to do. I remember one of the songs you liked, “Lonely Wine.” Will you ever play old Rhythm and Blues from the 50s on your current show? Maybe for Spec’s you could play “One Scotch, One Burbon, One Beer”? I Would like to hear something by Ruth Brown, Little Sylvia Vanderpool or Big Mama Thornton. Come on Baby Let the Good Times Roll, Come on Baby Let Me Thrill Your Soul.
I remember we regularly went to your sponsors such as Kaphan’s restaurant. You would assure us, “You know I wouldn’t tout on it if it weren’t true. Just keep on touting us, Mr. Berlin. We love you. Those were the good old days.
Loved them then, love them now.
Great to hear you again. Missed you on KBME. Grew up with you on KNUZ when I was in jr.high and high school. You still got “it”
Do you still live back there next door to Elsa –who made the coffee comercials–?
CAN’T ANY BETTER THAN YOU….YOU ARE THE VERY BEST.DAN PATRICK YOU ARE RIGHT BEHIND HIM FOR PUTTING HIM ON THE RADIO.
CORRECTIO CAN’T BE ANY BETTER THAN YOU…JO ANNA COUCH
been to ‘Pekoe & Sepulvida’ lately? – I feel stupid suggesting songs to the best ever – Bless you sir from Peter Manry, your younger ‘other brother’
Paul, in the show, 3/16 you’ve mentioned a good memory about the time, ‘Mingo’, Ed Ames was a Johnny Carson’s guest in the Tonight Show and you’ve wrongly stated that Johnny was the one throwing the tomahawk to the target when in reality was Ames the one that hit the particular area that only you can describe so graciously to which Johnny reacted with something equally funny when Ames had started walking towards the target he grabbed Ames’ left arm and said “I didn’t even know you were Jewish”, the live audience and rest of us just die laughing! I’m laughing still writing this to you and remembering back.
There you have my two cents now, Paul…remember, there is only one way not to make mistakes which is in my opinion the biggest mistake of them all and is by doing nothing!
Love everything you do! your show gets better every time and even know that we can listen on demand anytime which is an excellent option, I love to listen the show LIVE!
Take care Paul!
I just listened to one of your previous shows and you played a George Strait song that I’ve never hear before nor have I been able to find it. You didn’t say the name of it but I would guess “I Don’t Mind If I Do”. Can you please let me know if this is a selection from an unreleased album and if so, the name of it so I can purchase. I love you Paul and was so happy to hear you are back entertaining us. I first met you when I was a very young girl who used to sing (when selected) on a KNUZ program that was broadcast from an old theater in Houston. I hope you will be able to provide the answer to my George Strait question. God bless you and have a wonderful evening.
Fran
Paul
I wonder if you have any old Jimmie Durante records.
I think one of his biggest hits went something like
“Rink A Dink A Dee Rink A Dink A Do, etc.” When I used to listen to that man “sing”, it would send shivers up my spine.
It was like scratching you fingers on a blackboard. I often said, the worlds two worst successful “singers” was a tie between Jimmie Durante and Louie Armstrong.
Paul, if your able to consider this request during the
next couple of weekends(not Easter) I would apprechiate it.
I will record the shows if I am not available.
Thank you,
Bob Melone
Houston
Many years ago (Ha!), KNUZ signed off at midnight and played the same song every night. At least that’s the way I remember it. What was that song? Seeems it may have been an early Tommy Edwards but ??? Houston radio was over at 12 but then we listened to Wolfman, John R and many others from across the nation as the interference from local stations diminished. Good to see you are still at it and wishing you health and happiness. God bless.
Please play a couple of songs from the KQUE days from the following in the 6pm hour for my birthday-going out to eat at 7
The way you look tonight- Steve Tyrell or Fred Astaire
CasinoRoyale-Herb Alpert (alternate This guy’s in love with you)
This could be the start of something big Steve & Edie
Thanks
Paul, just found out you’re back on the air from last Sunday’s Chronicle. Man! What a treat. I’m listening to some of your past shows on the computer right now. Could you do a little bit of your Bubbles Turner schtick when you get a chance? You are absolutely the BEST.
Moe
Thanks for hosting Paul Berlin and making his shows available!
Hi Paul,
I am one of Gus and Laverne’s eight “kids”! I am now almost 66 years old, have been married 45 years and have 5 grandkids… Dad has been deceased almost 24 years and Mom passed 1 1/2 years ago. However, I am so glad to see that you are on Sat nights on KSEV and can bring back “the good ol’ Days”! I know Mom and Dad thought the world of you and I fondly recall the days that you visited us at “The Lake” on Alkire Road in Sugar Land. Great memories. Keep up your great work and I thoroughly enjoyed the article last Sunday in the Houston Chronicle. You have rich Houston roots!
God Bless,
Larry George
PAUL, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE GREAT ARTICLE DAVID BARRON WROTE ABOUT YOU IN THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE! THERE IS ONLY ONE PAUL BERLIN!!!! WE LOVE LISTENING TO YOU,ESPECIALLY ON BACALADDI DAY!!!!!! KEEP PLAYING THOSE STEVE TYRELL SONGS AND MAKING US LAUGH!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
In a program before your return to KSEV; you played a trumet solo by Arturo Sondavol named “Color of the Wind”. The album had 1 extra disk as part of the album which contained the trumpet solo. I have purchased several of the albums named Color of THe Wind looking for the extra disk containg the beautiful Sondaval trumpet solo, but none of them contain that extra disk. I wote you a letter requesting a copy of this disk when you left your previous position, but I am sure you had a lot on your mind during those years. Please ask someone to check your archives for the missing disk that contains THE COLOR OF THE WIND trumpet solo by Arturo Sondavol. Welcome Back Home
Love the music…been missing this since KQUE went off the air. Used to love when you would call Harold (in the Heights) and talk…
Welcome home!
Please play that “Chew chew chew chew chewin’ gum” song. Every time I heard that song I couldn’t get it out of my head for WEEKS!
Paul,
Congrats on the well deserved feature in today’s Houston Chronicle! Been a listener since the KQUE days. Keep the great music, stories and memories coming!
Best,
Paul Driscoll
Hi,
My name is Glynnene and Yvonne McCutcheon, the founder/director of the Houston Spinnerettes of many years ago, was my sister. We saw you many times when The Spinnerettes performed at various venues and when Yvonne and I, the little sister, went over to KNUZ for meetings with Larry Kane and others. The Spinnerettes were also known as the Larry Kane Larriettes on Saturdays when we performed on his radio then TV show. It was such a wonderful time to be a teenager then and be a part of the excitement of being a Spinnerette during the summers with KNUZ as a part of that fun. I came to Houston from Fort Worth during the summers until I came here permanently to go to the UH and remained here after getting married.
My husband Evan is in the Westbury Lions Club with an old friend of yours, Seymour Sugar. Seymour said that he knows you from when you first came to Houston.
With fond memories,
Glynnene Snyder
Paul: Just read David Barron’s article about you, in the e-Edition of the Houston Chronicle. Congratulations on staying the game.
I’ll never forget you and your help in getting me elected to the University Houston President of the Student Body. I always enjoyed seeing you at your Clubs. I first remember meeting you at Plantaion Park when you emceed Johnny Ray. I was still in the Marine Corps then and visiting Houston from NAS-Marine Barrackks Corpus Christi.
Wish I was still in Houston so I could listen to you again. That would probably be the only thing that could get me back there.
Best of luck,

You have been in radio a bit longer than you admit to. Remember The Storybook hour on WREC Memphis when it was in the Peabody hotel. The childrens’ live show was written and directed by Ellen Reisewitz…
Hi, I am Sylvia Resewitz Dennis. Mother died in 2004 at the age of 96 and active until the end. I have been in and out f the business for years.
It was a lovely surprise to find you on the internet and I just wanted to say hello. It looks like you have had a long and productive life. Here’s hoping you have many more good years.
With fond memories, Sylvia
Paul:
Great article in the Sunday Chronical which brought back a long time memory when my father took me to work at KNUZ one Saturday morning in the spring of 1953 when Dad asked you to let me sit in the control room with you while he did some work as sales manager and had a meeting with Jack Morris. I really enjoyed sitting there, I think I was 8, and viewing the a behind the sceans look at that part of the business. I was quietly sitting across from your broadcast board when out of the blue you suddenly announced I was a guest and was sitting in the control room with you and asked me what my favorite song was and which I replied “Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Earnie Ford” which you kindly played and dedicated to me. What a thrill for me at that time and have always rememebered that was a very thoughtful gesture to a runt little kid like me, at that time. Anyway, the Chronical article was a trip down memory lane and thought you might appreciate this little tidbit from the past. Wishing you a longer life and continued good health. Thanks for the memory. Bruno Leonardt Jr.
Paul: Saw the article in today’s Chronicle.
I have lived in Bryan for 17 years. Still trying to trace down where “The Saddle” club was here.
Elvis did a one night show there on Aug 23, 1955.
Might you remember?
Great to have you back on the air. Houston is missing a station playing music we can enjoy. Thank you Paul and KSEV.
All the best,
Paul, do you remember Tree Frog Lane? Long time ago. Saw the article in the Chronicle. Great to see you are still broadcasting. Listening to your St. Patrick’s Day broadcast. We live in North Carolina now near Daughter Terri. Stay well!!
Regards,
Hartley & Carole
Paul:
I’ve listened to you since around 2000 when you were on 1230 AM radio. You moved to KBME 790, and I listened until the station was bought and went to all sports talk. I remember when Borders opened the store on Alabama and Kirby, and you hosted a Steve Tyler appearance in the store.
I’ve looked forward to listening to your programs because of the music and your stories. They provided a refreshing detour from all the other stuff on the airwaves. I’m so glad to have found you again.
I have listened to you for years beginning in the early 1950′s. I believe you did a show in the early 50′s with a guy named, Larry Kane who I think is now deceased. If this is so, please refresh my memory. You have so much to offer the public & your fans regarding your life & memories. The article in todays Chronicle just hits the tip of the iceberg. Please get with a Book Publisher and write an Autobiography before you die, my friend. If you don’t the memory in your mind of what happened will be lost forever and that would be so sad. DO IT NOW! TIME IS TICKING!
I HAVE BEEN AN HOUSTONIAN FOR 60 YEARS, AND HAVE LISTENED TO YOU FOR ALL OF THOSE
EXCEPT WHEN YOU DISAPPEARED FROM MY RADIO. IT WAS MY MOTHER & MY PLEASURE TOGETHER.
THERE WAS A SONG, PIANO JAZZISH, OF “A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE” BY SOMEONE I WASNT FAMILIAR WITH AND CANNOT FIND. YOU PLAYED IT OFTEN AND WE LOVED IT.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHO IT WAS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT WAS NOT “A CLOSER WALK” BUT
ANOTHER BAPTIST SPIRITUAL PLAYED JAZZISH.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND NOW THAT I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE I’LL TUNE IN.
LIFE LONG LISTENER, THANKS, VENETTA COLALUCA HILTON
Hey Paul. Great article about you in the Chron this morning. It took me back to the Big Mike and watching you through the control room window in the 50′s… but most of all when I worked with you at KQUE in the late 60′s.
I’m glad to see that you’re alive and well.
Jack Tyler
Hello Paul: So glad to hear you are still going strong on the Houston airwaves after all these years. My family moved to Houston in 1963 where I lived for 11 years and eventually got into the same business and worked at KTRH for six years before taking a radio job in Washington, D.C. You were always one of my faves and an inspiration for my career path. Thank you.
I read about your show in an early, Sunday Chronicle delivery. You were on the air while I was reading the article and going down memory lane. Thanks for the memories; I have listened to you throughout my 51 years in Houston, what a breath of fresh air to hear your familiar voice.
Your devotion to radio hosting is a true blessing to all of your fans.
Note for Paul Berlin. I ran across you looking for the Laura Ingram show. Paul, you used to play One Summer Night by the Danleers for me upon request back in 1957. You were my favorite DJ and I am very glad to see you are still out there playing music. God bless.
Joanna Healy Hargis (your little Yankee listener)
Hi Paul…remember listening to you many years but lost touch until now. My step dad was sonny Marx and mom Evelyn. Both gone now but remember those great early years in Houston. Take care.
Hi Paul. GREAT PROGRAM!! We love the songs and the stories. I have some tapes that I recorded from KQUE radio broadcasts a long time ago – sometime way back in the last century. Some of the songs on these tapes are instrumentals, and I don’t know the artist or title. I have asked a lot of my friends and relatives, and they don’t know either. When and where could I meet you, or where could I find someone who would recognize these songs? I wish Don’s Record Shop was still open. Thanks! Gary Cofer. 713-305-8354 or vickicofer@att.net
Hooraaaaaahhhh… the archives are back!!
Sure do miss the web archives of your show Paul. When are the gonna fix that???

Love everything you do! your show gets better every time and even know that we can listen on demand anytime hich is an excellent option, I love to listen LIVE!
Take care Paul!
I just saw a film clip of the episode you comment on and it was Johnny Carson, not “Mingo” who threw the tomahawk.
Paul, Did Eydie Gormet make a recording of “The Coffee Song” ? I could swear you played a version by her on KQ.
Love your show here on KSEV
Ed
Hi Ed, I don’t know if you’ve already had a reply to this question, but in case you haven’t, I can tell you that Eydie made an album on Columbia called “Blame It On the Bossa Nova” which contained “The Coffee Song”. As I recall, the backing was by Billy May.
Hey Paul, why aren’t your most recent shows on this site?? There are two missing in action…..

Dear Paul Would Play Chapel In The Moon Light By
Dean Martin Thank You
Paul, Me and a great freindsn of mine would like to get together over dinner at say, Taste of Texas, (my treat) to pick your brain, listen to fascinating stories, and share our best times listening to you over the years. Of cours your guest is encouraged and we would take care of that meal also. The art of gathering around a good meal and engaging in conversation is slowly becoming lost. If you are interested just let me know when and I,ll take care of the details. Otherwise, thanks for all the entertaining years!
Mr. Berlin,
Always enjoy the great music and memories! Been listening since the KNUZ days. You may not remember this, but I was performing onboard a Scandonavian cruise you and KNUZ hosted many years ago. I know you’re a fan of Louie Prima — play his tunes often. Just wanted to let you know that Louie’s daughter, Lena Prima, performs at The Monteleone Hotel in New Orleans, in the newly renovated Carousel Bar — now a large showroom. Lena has a great band behind her, and has her Father’s musical arrangements — she puts on a great show. I urge your listeners to check her out when there in The Crescent City. Keep spinning the great tunes!
Best,
Paul Driscoll
P.S. Regarding my previous comment. I meant to say KQUE not KNUZ.
Paul Driscoll
Thank you for a wonderful show on Saturday (3/2/13). I was driving from Austin to Galveston and found your show. It made the drive wonderful and pass much more quickly then ever before. I was sad at 8am when the program was over! Great songs and tidbits of information. You Rock!
8 pm. Sorry for the typo.
My goodness this is wonderful to locate one of the most professional and truly entertaining radio men I ever had the pleasure of working around. You probably don’t remember me, but I’ve never forgotten you and how you helped me with just a few words to the guys in charge at KNUZ(Dave M & Ken G).
You are the reason I to work your important shirt when you were either off on vacation or another reason. Your generosity has stuck with me since those days of 1968-1970when I was merely a part-time announcer.
It’s uncanny how you still shine on the radio…you’re a true Houston treasure and I’ll never forget you.
From South America these days,
Paul (King) Box
Paul, great show 3/2/13. Heard you mention the note from the fella about giving the commencement speech at the ’56 Sam Houston graduation. If my memory serves me correct, you did MC the Sam Houston variety show called the Paper Doll Review in ’57 or ’58. I was in the audience that night and it was my first time to see you in person. And, I believe Kenny Rogers was a guest that night with the Bobby Doyle Trio. Correct me if I’m wrong but what a great time that was. Oh yes, thanks for playing my song, Whipped Cream.
Gary
Hey, Paul – so glad to hear you – haven’t heard any Elton Britt lately – Bless you, sir!
whenever I think about Elton Britt – I remember ‘turn down that radio’ haha at the Shamrock – thanks and Bless you!
Please play “it was a very good year” by Frank Sinatra. Thanks, we enjoy your show!
Still waxing my latest car in the front yard and listening to Paul Berlin (Thought never had to wax again . . .), lo those many years ago. You’re still and always our very favorite DJ. Thanks for the internet audios of former programs. Brings back memories of days when good music was relaxing, dreay and upbeat, fun to share with your best girl. Stan Kenton always grabbed my attention with his “Artistry” series: Artistry In Rhythm and the Jumpin’ version. If you want to play it for the folks it’s OK with me. . . jb
Dear Mr. Berlin,
I graduated from Sam Houston High School in Houston, Texas in 1956 & I believe you gave the graduation commencement speech on that day. Would you please verify if this is true or not. I would appreciate it very much.
Thank you so very much,
Byron O. Irwin
God Bless You
Hi Paul, Remember you liked to play Ringo Starr on KQ, could you play his “Lipstick Traces”
Many Thanks! A fan of yours forever!
Edward
Hi Paul, Oh how I remember your mid-day show on KQ in the early eighties, I was on the 16th floor at Exxon and making requests to you on Caroline! Well, if you could, please play Ringo Starr – Lipstick Traces…and don’t forget about your wavy hair!! Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for the suggestion of National Geographic, I can’t believe I missed it. It’s at the top of the list now.
thanks for relating your story about Roy Rogers and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo – I was also at that performance, but thankfully peed in the bathroom – Blessings to you, Paul, form your Other Brother, Peter
Play any Charlie Shaffer tune — our favorite piano man
Dear Paul Please Play The Phoenix Love Theme By The Brass Ring
Your Show Like KQUE i Enjoy Your Show Take Care
Sincerely Yours
Bill Hood
Paul, I have a couple of songs from the “old days” that you might have in your vast collection. One is “That Runaway Woman of Mine” by Tom Jones from his 1984 album “Love Is On The Radio” and the other is “Whipped Cream” by Herb Alpert from his 1965 album “Whipped Cream & Other Delights”. I believe these were songs you played on KQUE and it would be great if you can play them for us around 6:30 pm. They just don’t make songs like these anymore. I’ll be listening and keep up the good work.
Your biggest fan,
Gary
Paul,
It was interstering to listen to your program thru the years on several different stations. I have missed you. Glad to find out you are on AM 700. I will be listening to you once more.
Your friend ,
Al Stem
Many thanks Paul for long playing your end theme on the 9th. My wife was surprised when you mentioned my name as was I. Great show as always. Thanks for the memories….. Rog
Listen every Saturday night and wish you and others would play this music all day, even 24 hours. I’ve been listening through all your stations since you came to Houston.
I’m a Reagan girl, but Please don’t say my name on the radio.
The Four Aces and just anything you like will be great!
The music is good and the conversation brings back memories.
sorry Scott,I thought you were talking about comments.You are right on the archives.
Hey Jeanie, Glad you understood what I meant. And now as a new show is added, the older ones drop off. Sure would love to keep them all and replay them but I guess the site only holds so much. Maybe if we keep writing, the boss man will put Paul on daily and archive longer…
It is possible to save the archived shows to your hard drive. Just hit the popup download icon when you are listening to the program. (I have a years worth saved). All you need is to have Real Player downloaded on your computer. They are all worth saving since there will never be another program like it ever again. In my opinion Mr Berlin is the last of a rare breed of professionals.
Hey Jerry, I listen on a MAC and there’s no way to download the show on this machine. But thanks for the info… Rog
Paul
I moved to Beaumont 15 years ago after living in Houston for 30 years and missed your broadcast greatly. I recently found you on the web at ksev. You are a Houston legend and I can now enjoy your music and comments again. Please keep on doing what you do so well.
God Bless
George Cowart
Hey Paul, is it possible to go further back in your show archives? This web page only goes back to your Christmas special. I just found you again and would sure like to go back and catch up. Thanks for playing the REAL music and for the commentary.
Rog
To Roger Scott,I have the archives way back to 2011 or farther,that’s as far as I checked.Don’t know what your problem is.Keep trying and good luck.
Paul,Paul,Paul
I owe my kids a steak dinner! I didn’t lose a bet, no – they made my year ‘cuz they gave me the KSEV Paul Berlin internet link. I left the big H in the late 80′s afetr 33 years and I was there for so much of the KNUZ to KQUE years you owned. The greater Tampa area has never heard the likes of you and i am overjoyed!
You spun a bit of Clancy Hayes last week as only you can deliver. So entertaining he was with Scoby. I loved Roger Miller, too and ask that you share something of his best, all brilliant people with such diverse backgrounds, AND Johnny Mercer. They’ll all last forever, as you should, Dear God above.
Fairways and Greens, Azle
Hi Paul,
I’m getting in touch as I’m making a documentary for the BBC about the music made at the Wynne Unit with Dr Harley Rex – I would love to do a short interview with you about the music – could you contact me as soon as is convenient?
Best,
Vivienne
Mr. Berlin. Thank you for the great show you do every Sat. I wish you were on more days. My late grandfather listened to you every day and that’s where I learned to appreciate this genre of music and loved your style that was so different than the DJ’s of the music of my generation. I learned so much from listening to you, Paul Harvey, and my grandfather. Now that I am 40 and have kids of my own, I enjoy listening to you and this great music with them. They even know some of the songs and sing along with me. Keep it up and I would love to hear some Artie Shaw.
Would you play “Chloe” by Cy Coleman, thanks Sir Berlin!
This will sound like all the other comments, but it’s true: you’re the best Mr. Berlin. Love the show and glad I found it on the web site. I used to listen to you several years ago as I would drive to College Station weekday afternoons. You would sign off just as I would get to CS. Love the ending theme. Then I couldn’t find you for years until I searched the web. Now I can listen to your show anytime, any day as I work on the computer. Thanks for the archives and many thanks for the great music and commentary. Take good care and God Bless. Rog
Mr. Berlin… love your show. Wish you were on every day! I used to listen to you when you were on KNUZ. Thanks for the memories.
Debbie Spence
Paul, thank you so much for playing “Sweet Lady of Waiahole”. What a beautiful song and a true story. There was really a “Sweet Lady” and the song tells her tale. Keep up the good work and my thanks to Dan Patrick for getting you back on the air.
Gary
HELLO PAUL ! BEEN A VERY LONG TIME. I AM THE BANDIT ! AFTER
ALL THESE YEARS I FINALLY FOUND “THE BANDIT OF BRAZIL” BY THE
JOHNSON BROTHERS ON YOU TUBE.
CANNOT TELL YOU HOW VERY MUCH I MISS YOUR VOICE, YOUR SHOWS,
AND YOUR MUSIC.
WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.
TAKE CARE
Enjoy the archives so much.I play them a lot during the week.Thanks for keeping them up to date.
What happened to Scott Arthur where I live now I miss your show
Hey Paul,
Great show last Saturday night (1/26/13) and I enjoyed the music and stories you always seem to have plenty of. I wonder if you could play “Sweet Lady of Waiahole” by the 3 Scoops of Aloha next Saturday around 6:30 p.m. for me and my sweetie? You played it quite often back in the “good old days”. By the way, my offer to buy you and Glenn lunch still stands if you can work out a date. Thanks for the music and the memories.
Gary
I didn’t know about your show on 700 KSEV – what a great surprise! There is nothing on Panadora, IHeart, Slacker, Rhapsody or SiriusXM that compares to your show – you’re the greatest!
Hi Paul, Just found you here, really miss the old days on KQ but so glad to see you back doing what you do best! What about playing that ole Pams 45 “Houston, My Home Town”….even though we don’t have the Oilers no more! All the best
Toni Fisher
The Big Hurt 1959
I love your show. huge fan
Good program as always but tonight is special.Love “Maybe You’ll Be There” and ” Thinking Of You”.Thanks for all the good music.Wish you would play “Count Every Star”
Thanks, starfire, for the kind comments about WMKV Public Radio in Reading (Cincinnati). We applaud Paul, KSEV, and all of the incredibly rare stations that keep this incredible music alive! You have a true gem in Houston. We’re thrilled to keep that same ball rolling at wmkvfm.org and thanks to KSEV for having the foresight to not only care about current events, but also to continue radio and music history! Bravo! And good luck, Astros, in the move to the AL!
Thanks again — but that’s the shortest two hours of the week!
Quite a while back I heard Paul play a song called “Mother’s Little Pearls.” I can’t remember the artists name but it was only available through the artist directly. I am desperately trying to locate it – can you help? My mom is gravely ill and I would like to have it for the reception following services, when the time comes. Thank you for any info you can provide.
Could you be referring to My Mothers Pearls by Don Cherry?
By the way, when Paul is not on, if you like big band, 1930s-early sixties big band non rock and roll music, use your computer: http://www.wmkvfm.org Reading, Ohio (Cincinnati suburb).
The January 5 show. Sing Sing Sing.
Buddy Rich did play the drums on Sing Sing Sing with Benny Goodman, but it was, if memory serves, in the 1960s, in a Stockholm or Copenhagen concert.
Gene Krupa did play the drums on Sing Sing Sing with Benny Goodman, and it was in the famous Carnegie Hall concert, with Harry James.
The version you played 1/5/13 was the Buddy Rich version from the 1960s. I know this for several reasons, among them, there were not the individual solos of trumpet, clarinet, sax, piano, AND drums of Carnegie Hall, and, in the 1960s version Benny uses some licks similar to those of a Louis Spohr clarinet concerto (classical music) that were not in the Carnegie Hall concert. Benny may be the best all-around clarinetist there ever was.
I highly recommend a compilation CD, Benny Goodman-16 Most Requested Songs, which has several numbers from the Carnegie Hall concert including the definitive Sing Sing Sing, and “Why Don’t You Do Right” by Peggy Lee that is hard to believe a ~20 year old is singing. Wonderful CD.
I haven’t heard you play “God bless America,” by the one and only Kate Smith. If you can, play it for me. I try never to miss your Saturday night show.
Another wonderful musical Saturday night. Especially love your reminiscing of Edie Gorme, etc.
DEAR SWEET MR BERLIN…..
JUST A NOTE OF HEARTFELT TWINKLY CHRISTMASSY APPRECIATION FOR THE WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SHOW AND WEBSITE ACCESS HERE ON KSEV….

iT Brings Back Members Sincerely Bill Hood
Hi Mr. Berlin,
Would you play “Christmas Time is Near” by Rosemary Clooney? I first heard that song on your show years ago. I may not have the song title exactly right…it’s been a long time since I’ve heard it.
Thank You and
Merry Christmas!
Bud Osborne
Paul,here at Christmas time could you resurrect the fumble-fingered piano player trying to belt out “Jingle Bells” and hitting lots of sour notes.
Jim
How about Reflections of my life by the marmalade. joseph p wolfe
What a pleasant surprise to find you are still on the air. I listened to your KQUE show daily in my downtown Houston office from 1976 – 1988. I have since moved and there is much I miss of those days; your music trivia, updates of your son Xerox, walking over for a bowl of chili and a couple original James Coney Island dogs… Now, with this web site, I can listen to your recorded shows. Very best wishes to you, Paul, and thanks for the years of memories.
My dad had a 78 by eileen barton-polo loco in the colo. Have you got this one.
Am an ole KQUE loyal listener. Schedule my Saturday night round
your broadcast.You regularly play “As You Desire Me” by Ethel
Ennis; however,Peggy Lee sings a version that I think is best.
It is on an album “Pretty Eyes”. There’s a version of “I Remem-
ber You” by a male artist whose name escapes me. I’ve enjoyed
your show for years. Back in the 60′s when Les Freer’s shop
was behind Grant Ilseng’s Sporting Goods easst of downtown.He
did several jobs on my guns. Also, I frequented Don’s Records
for years even when I was deployed overseas and returned for
R & R, TDY, or vacation to search for the hard to find.Cole
Porter bought the lyrics for “Don’t Fence Me In” by the way.
Paul,
We listen every Saturday night and enjoy the show every time.
We really enjoy Pete Fountain. Favorites include Harbor Lights and Just a Closer Walk With Thee. Please play them if you have a chance.
Paul: 24 Nov 2012
What an awesome program tonight! You are a sound for sore
ears.
Since i am away at work 4-6 programs to 1 in Houston, i am
especially blessed tonight to be in Houston and hear this
program. How appropriate for Thanksgiving weekend. Dan really
hit a home-run putting this program on. Please stay on air, and
i’ll support the sponsors the best i can… Niko
Paul Berlin!
I’m glad you’re not in your grave yet, because you’d probably take the song I’d love to hear with you: “The Twelve Days of Christmas: Hawaiian Style”!!
I remember you had a personal copy of that song that you (and only you!) would play on KQUE during the holidays, and there is nothing like it!
If possible, could you please play it again??
I’m a “Bitter-Clinger” to those great American songs, ever since KNUZ and my high school (Spring Branch) in the 60′s!! I’m in Kansas now, and am happy to find your internet show!
Thanks for all the great sounds!
Paul;
On your Saturday show would you comment on why Texas celebrated a different day for Thanksgiving back in the 50′s? FDR back in 1941 signed a law making Thanksgiving the fourth Thursday in November. How did we break the law and when did we fall in line with the rest of the states?
Love your show. I listen every week.
How about playing “Purple People Eater”.
Mr Berlin,
My dad listen to you when I was a kid. Now I listen in my fifties. I enjoy the stories you tell about the artists you met and the songs you play. You are truly a class individual. Thanks for what you do.
Rick Willis
Hi Paul,
Thanks for last week’s tune; now how about playing, ” Raunchy “, by the Ventures for all the Height’s Rats.

You played a wonderful Henry Mancini song back in Sept called The Jokes on Me but failed to mention who the group was that sang it. Can you please replay it and mention the name of the group? Thank You.
I buy all my cidar beverages at Spec’s-hornsby, woodchuck etc. Now will you play the godd Arlo Guthrie song City of New Orleans. I also heard Scott Mckensie died. Do you have the song about San francisco. I am a Detroit tigers fan-how about the song Detroit city by Tom Jones. Remember I am a Spec,s customer. joseph p wolfe
Someone just told me about your show. So glad that you are back, you have been missed!!!!
Hello Paul,have been listening since knuz. I have alot of the music but it’s not the same without the radio personality. thanks for what you do.
Hi Paul, Could you please play, ” Pipeline “, by the Ventures, for the Heights Rats; especially for Billy Cardwell. Thanks, Ron Bonnel The Old Fire Eater <|:)[-
Abolutely loved your show on KQUE and before that was it AM DEMAND 79? and am so happy to find you here. What about the song “She was a nice girl but one of the roving kind , her hair hung down in riglets….
Really miss real radio, you give us the chance to have it back!
Love you!
“Alice’s Restaurant” with Paul Berlin narration. Enjoy your show, Paul.
A question more for the web page tech staff than a song request. Did you intentionaly disable the Real Player download function for the prerecorded programs? I have been archiving them for my own personal use and now find that since the last program update (Sept 29) I am no longer able to download them. Would appreciate any info you can give me on this problem just to make sure the problem isn’t on my end.
Thank you
It’s working again. To quote Emily Litella.– “Never Mind”
This the season of Octoberfest. How about some good polka music? My favorite is the too fat polka by Arthue Godfrey. Thanks again. joe
I just found out that you are back playing the music you can still enjoy listening to and go away singing to. I am like others and wish you were on seven days a week. I listened to you when there was KQUE. there was also a morning DJ that was real good. I had the honor and pleasure of dancing at your club many times. Also the honor of meeting you when you brought John Gary to town. Now that I know you are back I will be listening again. I was excited when I did the search while listening to John Gary and found you again.
Rita Dupree
Hello Paul,
Thank you for all the great memories remembered with your music. Do you have “Sweet Memories” by Andy Williams? I would love to hear his version of that song.
Thank You,
Steve Douglas
Houston, TX
could you please play floyd cramer’s last date
Paul, assuming you are roundin’ up songs for your pre-Halloween show, would you try to find Haunted Heart, I think by Jo Stafford. Not that it’s a Halloween song, but maybe it’d fit.
I know you have featured some Mandy Barnett in past, have you got her version of Beautiful Dreamer? I think your audience would love it. Hope you would too.
And is Vincent’s/Nino’s still in biz? Miss the ads.
Paul,
I listened to you in high school back in early 60s been a long time just curious how is miss prissy and do you still have the brass monkeys
You used to play a song in 1981 that started off “Brought to you by…” and it had the name “Manongahela” in it. Any idea what that song was? I have been trying for months to remember it.
Janet–The name of the song that you were trying to remember is “Loving you has made me bananas”–& was performed by Guy Marks.
Thank you!
How about somethig by Abba?Thanks,Jeanie in La Porte.
This weekend is shrimp festival in Galveston. How about the song shrimp boats by jo stafford
How about my favorite Johnny Mercer-Hoagy Carmichael song, Skylark. Love the Ella Fitzgerald or K.D. Lang version but any one would be great.
Thanks so much for posting Paul’s programs so quickly now. From time to time circumstances make me miss a program, so it is great to be able to log in and listen without having to wait a long time. Thanks again.

Hey Paul,
How about playing Elton Britt’s ” Chime Bells ” for us old-timers?
Thanks

Paul, been listening to you from the KNUZ AM days till now. I put up a FM antenna to enable me to listen to KQUE when I was at A&M, 1969 and 1970. I believe that it would be so interesting for you to take a play list from your program at KNUZ and play the entire thing. It would shake many a old memory loose.
Ralph Riggs
What do me, Gloria SteinamAnd , Jamie Farr’s wife And Teresa Brewer have in common? All have attended Morrison R Waite high school in east Toledo not far from Tony Packo’s. Not all at the same time of course. Benny Goodman did a song called simply Loch Lomond. It was featured in the Sherlock holmes movie Pursuit to Algiers sung by Dr. Watson. The song features the classic line-you take the high road I’ll take the low road. joseph p Wolfe
I loved hearing Frankie Lane. Though I lived in New Orleans in the 60′s and 70′s, I failed to see him. Shame on me!
I would greatly appreciate (and I bet others would too) “To each his own” sung by Frankie Lane. I listen to your show every Saturday evening. Regards, Joe

Just playing with the iPad and we pulled up your radio show to see when you are on.
We will listen next week. Love, Ellen
‘Third Man Theme’ would be great!
Hey Paul,
You need to check your eyes, this is the third time you have missed my name, it is RON not Ray ! Thanks for playing my request, but I really would like to hear my own name on the request. If you could, would you please play Elton Britt’s, ” Chime Bells ”
Thanks again – - -

What’s going on?where is Paul?
I’ll immediately grasp your rss as I can’t find your email subscription hyperlink or newsletter service. Do you’ve any? Kindly let me know in order that I may subscribe. Thanks.
Hope you had a wonderful birthday last Wed.It would be nice if we could “Turn Back The Hands Of Time”Mister Too Sweet always a favorite.Jeanie in La Porte
Paul… your program is great listening on Sat. Nites. Could
you please play Tony Bennett’s “Rags to Riches”? What year
was that a biggie, by the way; we’re on our 55th year of marriage and have danced to it many times.
Thanks.
I am so glad you are back on the air, I listened to your for years. I have a question. There was a house leveling company that advertised on your AM 103 show that was owned by someone named Grimes. Do you know the name of the company or know if it was sold and if so the name of the new company. I really need to talk with them. I really appreciate your help.
Paul, This month would have been the 100th birthday of my father, Ted Daffan, and next month, Oct., we lost him 16 years ago. Could you please play something he wrote (I’m A Fool To Care, or Born To Lose, or Worried Mind, etc.)? Thank you, Dear One….Dorothy
Would love ” Somewhere over the Rainbow ” for McGinty
This is GREAT Saturday night listening…
Good idea POPS !
Eva Cassidy’s version of ” Somewhere Over the Rainbow ” , to honor my sweet little MaGinty ~ the heartbeat at my feet ~ my little noble steed and loyal friend forever ..he passed away August 14th …
Jones and I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday next week.
We miss seeing you and Nezzie but love hearing you on the radio.
Hi Paul, As your birthday is next Wednesday, and you will not be on the air that day, please something you really like for yourself; then how about an old Vic Damone, ” Your Breaking My Heart ” for the Old Heights Rats.
Ron Bonnel – The Old Fire Eater – <|:)[-
Thanks for all the current programs.You have really been keeping up to date.
Paul I listoned to you when you were on 103 and you advertised a house leveling company back in the 80′s I want to say the gentlemans last name was Grimes. I am looking for the name of the company you advertised.
Thanks,

Thanks for play “Life Gets Tedious”. Would like any song by the Ink Spots.
Myrtle
Paul, thank you so much for playing “Life Gets Tedious” for me. Enjoy your show very much.
Request: Any song by the Ink Spots.
OMG…just listened to your July 7th show, and you played Mink DeVille’s “Just to Walk That Little Girl Home.” Youda Man!!
Paul, you sure know how to push my nostalgia buttons. I’ve loved and admired the depth and breadth of your musical knowledge since 1964 at KQUE. If you’ve not written a book about all the famous music people you’ve booked, met, and/or schmoozed with, believe me, you absolutely should.
Stay loose,
Mike Smith
MIKE, Paul Berlin was not on K-QUE in 1964. At that time, he was on the sister station K-NUZ 1230-AM. He started at K-QUE a number of years later. My dad Webb Hunt was then the operations manager of K-QUE. Thank you very much for being a longtime listener.
How about, from the eary ’60s, “Wonderland By Night”, I believe by Bert Bacharach (sp?), and thanks for just playing “I Can See Clearly Now” by Johnny Nash.
Larry, just to refresh your memory, “Wonderland by Night” was performed by the wonderful Bert Kaempfert Orchestra. Thank you for listening!
Dear Paul Please Play Tea For Two By Tommy Darsey Thank You
Hey Paul, How about playing the Weavers, ” Tzena, Tzena, Tzena ” just for old times sake ? Thanks

Still enjoy your program. Keep up the good work. Did you ever find “Life gets tedious?” Thanks
Paul,
We have been fans of yours for years and I wanted to let you know we listen to you every Saturday night. We want to give a testimony about a time some years ago when we were at a stroke recovery meeting with my mom and they were asking caregivers how they dealt with all of the stress from being a stroke patient caregiver. I said, “I pray alot and I listen to Paul Berlin and if I am having a really bad day it turns into a happy day if I am listening to Paul Berlin.” If you could on Saturday July 14th, play the song Claire we would really appreciate it.
Thank you,
Your lifelong fans,
Kathy and Larry Lunsford
64-80 was my era in Big H. So great to hear Paul doing what only he does best!
What is K.O. Bailey’s status? Oearly to mid 70′s KILT AM?
Hello to you north and southwest siders.
Here we go again,
I wanted to include this request along with the one for, “Pipeline”, but old age is getting to me and I forgot, please play something nice for your wife’s birthday ( next Tuesday the 10th ). How about, “Sleepwalk “, by Ritchie Valens.
Thanks again.
Ron Bonnel – The Old Fire Eater – <|:)[-
Hey Paul,
Would you please play, ” Pipeline “, by the Chantays, just for old times sake? I have been listening to your programs since 1949, when I first heard you on KNUZ – AM radio !
Thanks.

Please play “Meditation”.Thanks,Jeanie in LaPorte
Oh, how I love listening to you every Saturday night. You are the best!!!
Native Houstonian who turned 60 yesterday remembers Mom who sang to your songs on radio (She’s also a native Houstonian who i told her about your show and she is now a listner). You always mention Hay Hay Hay Dolores when I call in. God Bless we love, your a Houston Legend. Dolores Rocha
Have to listen EVERY Sat. Love it. Remember the 4 Spades (Mascots) Harry Bell, Joe Toland, Larry Hovis, Jerry Lloyd? If you have anything by them, I’d really like to hear it; if not how about playing “Scotch and Soda”. I’m listening right now to one of the programs. Thanks for being on again.
Great to those silky pipes again! Been what—-50+ years? Guess we going to stay around another 10….just keep on keeping on! Sorry about you losing your make-believe honey –Ms. Brewer…Hope your family is aall well and healthy!
Dear Paul,
I am so glad that you are back on the air. We go way back to KNUZ. You played a basketball game at Aldine Jr. High when I was there. Please play “Houston, Houston, That’s My Home Town”. It is so good to listen to you again.
Hi Wasn’t it Gale Storm who sang “Houston, That’s My Hometown”?
Tonight, June 23, just all really great music! Love your show and wish you were on 7 days a week!
Hey Paul, I’ve been listening to you for 30 years: What a pleasure!
I have loved the Platters version of “Smoke gets…” but the lady vocalist (Marla Washington- did I get that right?) you just played was lots of fun to listen to, also.
Also Nat King Cole, etc. Many Thanks!
Rusty, Tomball
Paul, can you please play “How do you keep the music playing” for my lovely wife Alba!

Please play “A Little Respect” by Aretha Franklin, another great Mo-Town hit!! Thank you. Penelope
Paul,
Tommy D. had an instrumental version of Moonlight on Vermont that was made back in the late ’30′s – early ’40′s. That was the recording I was looking for. I heard it on the ‘net at addresws: http://www.tropicalglen.com/
, it was listed as sometime in the pre-war ( WWII ) group. Please try to locate it and play it for me if you find it. Thanks !

My husband and I went to Nino’s yesterday for lunch. We told them that Paul Berlin sent us. It was wonderful, the food was delicious and the service exceptional.
The Donna reed show had two child stars who had pop hits-shelly faberes with johnny angel and paul peterson with my dad. the latter is agood father’s song
Hey Paul,
How about playing Tommy Dorsey’s “Moonlight on Vermont” just because we are having such great nights now.

How about Let’s” fly Down or Drive Down to New Orleans” or something like that by The Dukes Of Dixeland.thanks,Jeanie in LaPorte.
55 years ago I came to Houston to visit my brother. I waited for him in his apartment listening to his radio which was on Paul Berlin’s show. Yesterday I heard Paul. My brother has passed on but he will always be in my heart and memory. Good memories.
Paul,
in 1968, I was and being driven by my two sisters who worked at St. Joseph hospital downtown to my 8th grade class at a school downtown, As we were listening to your morning program, a song called, “Loving Me Has Made Me Bananas” was played during that spring if I recalled. I am just wondering if happen to have that on a 45 somewhere. The song maybe not be as funny now as it was back then, but I’ll let you make the call on this one. And one more thing: Who was the singer?
Thomas
Good morning, Paul. Will you play an old song for me…”Life Gets Tedious, Don’t It”
Don’t know who recorded it. Enjoy your show and appreciate your comments. Thanks for two hours of nostalgia. Myrtle White
Hello My Old Time Friend,
A bunch of years ago when I had to get up before noon and make that sun rise drive to work, you were my riding buddy. You talked and played music that kept me half way sane in the traffic.
There was a song you play about a woman going into a speak easy and the cops raiding it. Everybody was put in the paddy wagon and hauled of to the police station except her. She was passed out under the table.
I’ve been wanting to revisit that song, but haven’t a clue what name/title to search for on the Internet. Can you help?
Peace, Love and Thanks
Dave in Todd Mission
You are like a breath of fresh air every Saturday night.
Hi Paul. I have a lot songs on cassette tape that I recorded from KQUE broadcasts about 25 years ago. I don’t know the titles of a few of them. How could I find out the names of these songs? We don’t have the friendly neighborhood record shops anymore, where the proprieter could tell you the name of every song ever recorded. Gary Cofer 713-305-8354.
Paul,
We enjoy your show every Saturday night. We wouldn’t miss it for the world. All the old songs bring back lots of pleasant memories.
Jack & Pat Howard
How come nobody plays-get happy- by frank sinatra anymore.
Hello. My name is Frank . Mr. Berlin I grew up listening to you. Starting with KNUZ 1230 AM. Carolina and Bloggett. Than we would go to Princess’s drive inn. Those’s were to me one of the happiest day of my life. I’m truly glad you’re back. And for that I Thank You. Where could someone go to still listen to bands that still play this type you music. The last band I saw was Ronnie Renfro. Please let me know. Again Thank You.
hi Paul my name is Michael Hughes i live in Thetford Norfolk in the U.K and friend Caro Verdugo shared your radio show with me on Facebook, so i gave you a listen and i must say you have a great show, i will be a regular listener from now on so keep the good music coming. will it be possible for you to play what a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong and dedicate to my friend Caro for sharing your show with me.Thank you Paul
Paul,enjoy your show,listening to you since the 50s. Might remember me,as when you were on KQUE,I sent you the VCR of The Man Who Never Was,with Clifton Webb. Thanks for the memories.
John
Thanks for the Mickey Newbury songs. I did in fact go to high school with him and remained friends over the years. I also love to hear Don Cherry. Pleasing you is my favorite, but I love them all. You show on the 12th of May was great. We had guests and I treated them to your show.
Paul, a request… something romantic by Johnny Mathis.
Thanks.
Today is armed services day How about some thing for the vets and active duty people. We are sitting here on our backporch listening like we do every Saturday..
John & Vicki
Hey Paul, Enjoying your show from Austin, Texas via the Internet. I sure hope you are coming to the reunion next weekend. I am looking forward to seeing you and Joe Ford again. You sound as good as always.
Chuck McCann
Paul, thank you for all the entertainment and education through the years and look at you, at it again!!, and sounding better than ever!
Can you play “How do you keep th music playing” by who other, Mr Bennet of course.
Thank you in advance and one more thing, is it okay to send you regular mail to the station?
Houston is blessed to have you !
May 19, 2012 18:08
How about KSEV !!!!!!
Paul – Your show Sat. 5/12 was best, all those oldies from 50′s – Doodie Woo (I Remember). I’ll never be free, land from earlier, Chrickory Chick…… And of course all the Burt Bacharac songs.
I am getting to listen to your whole show since daylight savings. They don’t cut back on the power till right at 8:00, like Jeanie Philips said, it does help.
Did I ever tell you that because of you, I wanted to be a DJ.
But you would be too much competition.
Have a good week and see you Sat. 6-8. 700 AM, in heavenly Houston.
Verna from the Heights
Thanks for playing all my father’s 78′s. I have two 45 hits. The ballad of irving by the mc of the perry como show brought to you by kraft cheese. Also the hit Ringo by lorne greene. On the flip side he sang the bonanza theme. Thanks again. joseph p wolfe
Paul–I was without your show for sixweeks becuse of web problem. Sure am glad to be hearing KNUZ again. You are the greatest! LOL
Ray in Dixie
Love your show and try to never miss it. Thanks for a great evening of my favorite music..Any Platters, Glenn Miller, “Just for A Thrill” and anything you like!
Where is the March 31, posting? That was one that I had to miss. Very disappointing. Please and thanks.
Larry
Didn’t know Paul was ever on KILT.!!!!
Joe and Ann Davis (old fans) are here from Spain and would like to hear anything romantic by Charlie Shaefer. Love you Paul!!!
I am glad you are here in US and can enjoy Paul as well as Charlie Shaefer too. I have all his CD’s and listen to them when Paul isn’t on the air. I didn’t know Charlie until I found Paul’s program again. I have been listening to Paul since the early 50′s and loved every minute of it.
Verna from the Heights
hello Paul. This is Deborah Brandt writing from sunny Florida where I am vacationing. Listening to your show on my computer. You still sound great….but what else would I expect from the consumate pro that you are.
Hope you are doing well.Still miss you and scott.
hello paul welcome back
Paul, Tonight is the perigee full moon, 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons this year.
In consideration of the event, as your closing selections this evening, please play ‘That’s Amore’ by Deano and – hope you have this one – even though we are in Houston, “Moon Over Miami’ by Vaughan Monroe. If time permits – would also enjoy Canadian Sunset by Hugo Winterhaulter.
What has to happen for your program to get more on-air time each week? Saturday from 6 to 8 is great – just need more!
Thanks for the music and the commentary!
Hey Paul, You and I go back a long, long time: I knew you when we worked on the Houston Live Stock Show committees in the 1950′s and I have made many music requests of you over the years. It was a great loss to music lovers when you went off the air. So happy you are back and us old geezers, along with others, can once again enjoy your stories and music. I am grateful for the WWII music you played each December 7, I believe it was, and all the memories it recalled. Just great. At some point, maybe not during those shows, you played a recording by Alvino Ray (sp) where you did a voice over as though it was a broadcast from Chicago, I think, and you were the announcer of the time. It was the stations closing time for the day and you ended with “good night and good morning”. I don’t remember the song title now, but I think some of the words were “nighty, night until tomorrow”…. Anyway, I think it would be a treat for your younger listeners to hear you do that again and I know I would enjoy it. Do you remember doing that? Thanks for the memories, Paul, and good luck and good wishes.
Dick – I hope you were listening to Paul Sat. 5/12 as he referenced the late radio shows signing off with Nighty Nite and even played it. It was a great program – he played a lot of the good old 50′s.
Verna from the Heights
hey paul-how about mairzy doats-al trace
how about dody wo thanks me x
Listinen’ on Saturday night. Mr Berlin, you are the music. The music you play is great but your knowledge of the music you play and your comments make it even more enjoyable. You are a fixture in the Houston music scene.
Hi Paul, can’t believe I found you after all these years. I’m George Belin. I was manager for Mel Croan Volkswagen in the ’60′s and we all had such a beautiful relationship. I now live in Branson, Missouri and own Jigglin George, Inc www.jigglingeorge.com. With the passing of Dick Clark, who has a Theatre here in Branson, I remembered you and your relationship with him on a world tour representing these United States per President Eisenhower. Man, if we could call back 40 years !!!!!!

The Marmalade-Reflections of my life-Remember that song?
Thank God you are back on the air,…I will spread the word! My grandfather would be so happy if he were still here,…
Can’t wait for Saturday only to hear your show. Would you please play Fats Domino’s Amazing Grace or Just A Little Walk With Thee by Ella Fitzgerald. Been listening to you since you were on KILT and you are a GEM!
Just a little F.Y.I. for Paul Berlins music fans. I have to make frequent trips to San Antonio and have discovered a radio station there which is KAHL 103.7 FM and 1310 AM. Their format is all “Adult Standards”, it kind of reminds me of the old KQUE. The problem is there is no commentary at all, so I say to KAHL “You are no Paul Berlin”. But if you happen to be in the San Antonio area, it is worth tuning in.
Larry
Request:
1. Glen Campbell’s guitar rendition of ” Puff the Magic Dragon.”
2. Floyd Cramers ” Kentucky.”
3. Not sure about this one but I believe the title is ” Even Now ” by Anna Manscuri (sp).
Hi Dennis….the artist for your number 3 request would be “Nana Mouskouri”
I have just found you again. I’ve been listening to you since KNUZ days and you know how long that has been. We retired to Rockport and I’m listening online and thrilled to hear Sincerely, but where was Doodie Woo? So glad to hear you again. Barbara Ferguson
Paul, you never did identify the singer of “I’m a big girl now.”
Please play any of Doris Day’s songs.
Hey Paul. Thanks for playing my re quest. now can you play -hey da da dow-by the
dolphins-my 45 is warped. josephpwolfe
Hello Paul, I came up with a song that I think many of your listeners would enjoy hearing again. “Talk To Me” by Sunny & The Sunglows/Sunliners from 1963. I love the Little Willie John 1958 version as well. I wish you, your family & your listeners all the best, Johnny Goyen
Dear Paul, Please play “Doodie Woo” ! This song should be “The Houston National Anthem!” …..and Mr. Berlin, you made it so. Also, would you tell the story (again) about the “drunk guy” that shook hands with Pat Boone and he said ”his entire right side sobered up!”
Paul -
Everyone knows of Spike Jones and His City Slickers…Why not introduce (or re-introduce) your listeners to Spike Jones and His Other Orchestra? (Same personnel, but playing straight music) I especially enjoyed “Minka” and “Lassus Trombone”.
Hi Paul ….It’s me Johnny Goyen listening as always in Austin. I just wanted to say “Hi”….Play me something! your choice.
Paul – I’m an old geezer (76) and would love to get a copy of your “On the trail” with Johnny crying “Call for Phillip Morris” in the background. I hounded you for about two years but heard that was in your ‘private stash’ so I finally gave up. I’ll be tuned in tomorrow at eight if you would let me in on the secret to getting a copy or play “Lake Como” by the Sweet People for me. You’ve been a big part of my life ever since the “Dome Shadows” days.
Take care, my friend.
Tommy (Gunfighter Homes)
You better tune at 6 since that’s when it starts.lol
Hello, Mr. Berlin… When I was in high school at Kingwood in the ’80′s I used to call you up at KQUE and request stuff like “Seattle” by Perry Como, “Classical Gas” by Mason Williams, and “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy” by Blood, Sweat & Tears. I had my heart broken twice, as KQ and KBME were replaced by less desirable formats. I’m glad to hear you back on the airwaves, but I wish you could be on longer than two hours. Thank you for the magic you bring to the radio! Your style is definitely a lost art!
I also listened to KQUE in the mid to late 80′s. I loved to listen while laying in the sun in Galveston. Your show was so relaxing. I couldn’t believe when the format changed. It was such a mistake. I am so glad you’re back!
Hi Paul,
Will you please wish Jones Robertson a Happy Birthday, it falls on Monday the 9th, but we would like to request anything by Willie Nelson if possible. So glad you are back on the air.
Hi Vangie, You have just given me an idea for a birthday gift for Jones. It may take a few days, but it will be a collector’s item, I promise.
Please play something by The Stellar Unit.I love the pretty song they made but don’t know the name.
Hi Jeanie. I believe you are talking about “Touched”, a song I wrote for my wife which was originally titled “Marty’s Theme”, a piano instrumental. Buck Ram, a sometimes collaberator and very successful songwriter, added words and we took the Stellar Unit into a studio (they were living here in Las Vegas at the time) to record it. As you know, they did a fantastic job. It was released on a 45 single around 1987.
Thanks,I do think that was it.Beautiful song and such a lovely thing to do for your wife.
What ever happened to Don of Don’s record shop?I used to win certificates for casettes from KQUE.Is he still living?Always enjoyed Harold of Harold in the Heights when you had him as a sponsor.Those were fun times.
Hi again, Jeanie. I was on a cruise ship with a group of Paul’s fans, docked in Cozumel, when I learned on the internet the sad news of Don’s passing away. I think that was the fall of 2003. I, too, enjoyed both Don’s and Harold’s live commercials with Paul.
Thanks — loved the Frankie Carle medley . . . no one played the piano like he did! Charlie Shaffer is also great.
Lynn King
my grandparents are sittin on the patio together listening to your show. they wouldlove to here crazy arms by ray price itwas theyre love song
Do you have ”love me love me love” by frank mills or “red silk stockings and green perfume” by frank cornell
please play “crazy arms” by ray price for my grand parents
Could you play “Harbor Lights”from the 40′s It was a favorite of my Mothers. My Gather was a Merchant Marine. Their anniversary is in April. Jim & Tedody I enjoy your show sl much. I am gkad I found you.
I use to listen to your show when I was in high school Sincerely, Merry
Hi Paul. We’d love to hear Walt Boenig and the Canadian Spitfire Band. Any selection, your choice. LUV YA! Gary & Vicki Cofer.
Thanks for posting the recent weeks programs. I had to miss one and it is good to be able to listen so soon. Thanks Again.
Larry
I cannot believe that PB is still on the air! My parents named my brother Paul, after him. They lived here in the late 50′s.
So glad to hear my friend Paul Berlin again. I now live in Carthage, Texas but can listen to him via the Internet. Seems like old time.
My mother loved listening to you when she lived in Houston. Now she lives in San Diego and will be 90 years old April 11th, but don’t tell anyone. ha, ha. I wish I could save your radio broadcasts on a CD or an iPod so she could play them herself. But glad to see quite a few past shows on your website. I’ll play them for her when I’m out in San Diego. I like listening to your show even though most songs are before my time. I like knowing what kind of music
my parents listened to. They’re right, it was a different time – a wonderful time.
My Friend Paul Berlin. This is Andy Anderson. I now live in Carthage, Texas and just found out you are back on the air. Seems like old times hearing your voice and listening to your spins.
can you play ” la bamba” and “come on let’s go” by Ritchie Valens
I’m so happy to have discovered this! Just like most other homes back then, the radio was always on in our home. I played on the floor of our dining room in front of ours while my momma cooked in the kitchen. I will never forget a special day for me; I was there playing and listening to Paul Berlin when he played a song for ME!!!! It was January 19, 1952, it was my 5th birthday, and the song was “Daddy’s Little Girl”. I will never forget how excited I was to hear my name and Happy Birthday to ME on the radio! Thank you Mr. Berlin!
Hey Paul,
On your program last night ( Sat, 3/17 ) you said that A.J. attended St. Thomas High School, but he was never there – he was a Reagan grad, from the Heights. All will be forgiven if you will play Duane Eddy’s ” Rumble ” from 1957.
Thanks – - -

Wouldn’t you think that when it comes to the best program of the week on KSEV, that they wouldn’t have to decrease the kilowatts (_0r whatever they do)- between 7 and 7;30 during the Paul Berlin Show!!!! In The Woodlands, can’t hear the last part of his show….as it’s heavy-duty static. If KSEV were half smart, they’d have more of Paul Berlin !!! A true legend. and they’re wasting part of his only show Puh-leez !!!!!!!
Go to your computer when that happens.Love Mr. Too Sweet !!!!

Have a good week.

I have the same problem in Caldwell, TX and have voiced my comments more than once.
Being a retired Heights person, I grew up with Paul – way back in early 50′s. I have followed him around all his stations.

We all love you Paul!!
New shows put up.Thanks
What she said below this note. May I request a song probably by the Mills Brothers…Either “The Naughty Lady from Shady Lane” or “The Shady Lady From Shady Lane.” Thanks

Love you Paul Berlin-have been listening to you for years and enjoy every miniute of it. Keep on deepen on!!!!!!!!!!!!
doody woo
Good morning, Paul. Had to miss you last week but will try to catch it on the computer. Will you play “Dearie, do you remember when we danced to Glenn Miller’s band….well, Dearie, you’re much older than I.” That’s the best I can do for a title. thanks…enjoy your show very much. Myrtle White
Dear Mr Adorable…. your broadcasts will always get an A+ from us….and we will surely meet you each and every Saturday Night on the other side of the microphone… You are so loved out here in listener land!
I like to listen to your show up here in Mass. with my daughter BHayden1261 listening from Houston…
It’s like the old days new…

Have you ever had a part in a movie?
Did you ever have a part in a movie?
I have heard of 2 Paul was in:
“TILT”, starring Brooke Shields (1979)”Liar’s Moon”, starring Matt Dillon (1982)
Hello Paul – this is Anne from the Buddy McGregor Show. I still am in touch with Jay Mesinger as well. Miss ya! Have to call in one day soon to say hello and reminisce about the KNUZ times.
Dear Paul,
Thank you for the great suggestion regarding Nino’s & Vincent’s.
We loved it and enjoyed our Valentine evening so much. Vincent is such a gracious person and we let them know it was because of you we were there. We will be returning you can be sure. John & Judy
Thanks for posting the newer programs, I have been checking every day.
Larry
wow,thanks for all the new posted programs.
In the late 60′s or early 70′s my husband and I discovered we both listened to you on your morning program, he at work and I listened while being a house wife.
We both loved your theme song. Therefore when we celebrated one of our anniverseries I tried to buy the record that had your theme song. I could not find it. When I called you on the phone you told me if I payed the cost of a tape you would make it so that I might give it to my husband for our anniversery that year.One of my great joys to give it to him. This year we celebrate our 60th anniversary on Feb. 16th. is it possible to play it this coming Saturday and dedicate to Aubrey from you and Mozelle for old time sakes If not could ypu play one of the old love songs of the 50ths. Thank you, Mozelle
It’s amazing how many of your fans are just now finding out that you are back.Has it been about a year?Everyone is delighted as I am.Love Mr. Too Sweet.
Anonymous August 3, 2010 You did the right thing. I wpuild have done the same and even more than that. I would ahve slapepd his face with my id.He deserves it for not only being stupid but irresponsible.Don’t ever feel guilty for such persons.And I will not aologize. He should know better.
We lost Jerry Dibner (aka Jerry Day) another voice from KNUZ.
Paul, thanks for playing a Perry Como song for me. I have another one…Englebert Humperdink’s “Please Release Me.” Following is a story you might enjoy. My grandson, Nathan White 31, was leaving my house shortly before 5 p.m. on this past Saturday evening. He asked me what I was going to do for the evening. I replied, “Laurence Welk is coming on in a couple of minutes.” Nathan said, “And then I suppose you will listen to Paul Berlin. Grandma, you are so predictable.” Aren’t they grand!!!
Keep up the good work. Love your show!!!! Myrtle White
This is February! Time for some new shows!!
how about playing “Fernado” by Abba?
Paul: Sincerely hope it’s not to late to request a song for Sat. 2/4.
The 8th will be Richard’s and my 31st wedding anniversary!!!!! Please play from Three Dog Night’s ”More Today than Yesterday”
Many thanks in advance; see you on the radio. Annette Freer
Ready for some new programs to be posted.A lot of us listen to them over and over.Thanks
It is soooo good listening to you each Saturday. Brings back good memories. Would you play anything by Perry Como? Happy to have you back on the air. Myrtle White
OMG Paul your back…the world is not ending! Why doesn’t some radio station wake Up and put you on full time, Ive missed you so!. You always put a smile on my face, with your wit and comments, even in the worst of times.
Say hello to your son Glen for me.
Pete Regan
Can you play something from he Beatles? Love you so much Paul Berlin. You rock.
Love Sinatra, but his rendition of “Deep In A Dream” is not as good as Helen Forrest.Enjoyed it anyway.
Frank Cornell-Green silk stalkings and red perfume.—Frank mills-Love me love me love love-his first hit–
Morning Paul – Mr. Wonderful!
Sat. 1/14 7:50 pm you played Dig these Blues by 4 Clefs – absolutely wonderful then followed up will Ella Johnson, then your sign off with Charlie Shaffer We will meet again and I’ll be seeing you. Great way to end a great show. Keep up the good shows and your advertisers will be more than happy. Just wish I were closer so i could patronize them.
Verna from the Heights
Why isn’t Paul Berlin in Wikipedia. Why doesn’t he write a book about the history of Rock and Roll. He was there!!!!
GREAT idea
oh, another Saturday night with Mr. Adorable : ) LUCKY US !
how about Deep In A Dream by Helen Forrest.Thanks
I was wondering about the schedule or criteria for posting Paul’s previous Sat. programs. Sometimes I have to miss a program and it seems to take a very long time for it to be online. Would very much appreciate being able to listen to the recorded programs in a shorter period of time. Please, please, and thanks.
Larry
Listened to you when I operated a garage in Channelview Tx. I am retired now living in StLucia Caribbean and still listining. Love the music.
Paul as a former Kque listening post. I always enjoyed hearing the song you played called Houston, Houston my hometown
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.Looking forward to your program on New years eve.Missed you but glad you could be with all of your family.Jeanie from La Porte.
Greetings. Paul, from magnificent Memphis! Just listened to hour two on Oct. 29. The burger joint you referred to is “Dyers”. There was a big ceremony, with a police escort, when they moved the skillet (with grease) from the joint in Crosstown, on Cleveland, out to East Memphis. You shoulda been here! They are still serving burgers boiled in the same grease you used to sop.
Jim Spratley
Paul, it would be great to hear Auld Lang Syne by Guy Lombardo on New Year’s Eve. “Happy New Year”. Thanks
Larry
Station KQUE 102.9 FM back in the 1980′s, Paul Berlin played at Christmas time a recording of “Do You Hear What I Hear?” by a group called Truth. It was a really unusual arrangement that I looked forward to every year. I have looked for that recording off and on since that time. I once even asked Paul at his club on Richmond, if he knew what label it was on, but he didn’t recall at the time. After the Internet came to be, I renewed my search, but also with no results.
Paul, do you know what happened to the KQUE recordings after the station changed? Does anyone know this recording?
MY MY MY!!!! MR. PAUL, you have done it again! Made the night here, with a Great Show!!!
Hi Paul,
I would really like to hear Rosemary Clooney singing
“Christmas Time is Near”. I first time I heard this song was on your show around 2004, or so on 950 am.
bud osborne
on 950 am in about 2004, or so.
Paul- As I was falling aslep last night I heard a song by Frank Sinatra I had never heard. I think the dj also said Elvis Prelsley had a version. I think it was ” Softly As I leave You”. Maybe you can find this
Paul – I really miss most of your shows due to power cut down so have to wait till you post them. I really, really enjoy each and every one and KSEV and your sponsors should be proud to have you and give you more earlier radio time. You are important to us seniors who remember you and your good shows back from the 50′s.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from
Verna in the Heights
How about “Kentucky” by Floyd Cramer.
I can’t believe I found you. First started listening to you on the bus radio going to Stephen F Austin High school in 1956. I was a finalist in the Miss Rodeo Houston contest in 1963. You were one of the judges and I didn’t win… When you retired a few years ago we heard you last show on an overpass out side Rockport. We were losing the station so we just stopped over the freeway for the last 10 min. I knew you would play Wee Willy Wayne’s, Doody Woo (is that the way to spell). Play it again…………..Linda Brasuell Brannen from Wimberley Texas….
Paul,
Thanks for answering my question about Frankie Carle and giving me notoriety by mentioning my name, Oct.1. ‘Nuther question. During WWII, there were a number of novelty songs (e.g. “Mairzy Doats”). What has been making me rack my brains, was the name of a song that begins, “There’s a hot dog stand on the highway to Mexico City”. If the rings a bell, please mention it.
Also, if you ever have time, or the inclination, play “Rose O’Day”.
Thanks,
Jim in Mempnis
Paul..Great hear about you and your continued success. I was ask to send you a copy of “Callie Rose”. You played it for years and I never got to thank you. Send me an e-mail address and I’ll forward you a copy if you would care to spin it again. I run our music company in Nashville and things are going really well. Thanks for your major contribution to music and the happiness of lots of folks from the south.

Dear Mr Berlin, years ago on your radio show when my dad was alive you played a song by Glen Campbell that for likes of me I can not remember the title but in the song he sang about if the sun set for the last time and how thankful he was for his life. He would greatly appreciated if you could help me in finding the title of the song. I enjoy the songs of yester years. You were a Wonderful part of my life growing up. It brings memories of my Dear Dad. Thank You. jedonovan@sbcglobal.net
Yea,thanks for the new posted shows.
Paul—On Sat night at 7:59 I dread the end of your concert. The stuff today is incomprehensible, or filthy, or not music at all. It is noise. Sure wish your program was on longer.You are doing a GREAT job.
Loud & Clear here in Friendswood !!! ADORE you Mr Berlin !! Best on the radio…. love Saturday nights : )
In reply to the question about the Paul Simon song with another artist.
The song is “Gone at Last” from the 1975 album, “Still Crazy After All These Years”. The other artist is Phoebe Snow and the terrific gospel piano is by Richard Tee.
Wish you were still on the air.
Mr. To Sweet Enjoyed your show Thanks to your family for sharing you with us.
How about “Hernando’s Hideaway” ??? Thanks.
Thanks for the Robert Goulet “If Ever I Would Leave You”. I saw (and heard) him sing that to Carol Lawrence at the State Fair Music Hall in Dallas in the ’60′s. (He didn’t live up to his promise). He has a great voice.
Wish you would play”Do You Remember Me’ by Perry Como.Thanks,Jeanie
Wishing you and your family a happy and blessed Thanksgiving. Jeanie in LaPorte
I was in the supermarket the other day and they were playing music, I just caught the last of a song by a group, the song was “Have You Heard”. When I got home and checked it out, it was the Dupree’s. Paul, can you please play this?
Thanks,
Larry
Love Ray Stevens’ “Mr. President” !!
Paul: Just love your show and try to never miss it! Been listening to you all the years you’ve been on radio here in Houston and you should be on 7 days a week! You are the only one playing the music I want to hear. Please write a book and tell us all your wonderful stories.

I’m sooooo happy! I’ve finally found Paul Berlin and his great music! I started listening to him in 1964 right after I graduated from high school in Manila and we moved to Houston. I’ve been searching for him every now and then, and today the Jackpot!
Jimmy Duncan’s funeral is Tuesday at the Church on Hwy 6 and I-10
West-across Hwy 6 from Sams
Is this the Jimmy Duncan I knew as a singer songwriter? In the 50s I used to write his songs onto music paper as he would sing them to me, so that they could be copywrited. I recorded one of his songs, “Plaything”, which made it to number 3 on the KNUZ top 30 in 1957. It was released on his label, called “CUE”. RIP Jimmy, it was good to know you.
I do have another life but not on Sat. between 6-8.Only Mr. Too Sweet.Jeanie from LaPorte
Mr Berlin..Please say Hello to my Mom Mary Rios. She use to wait on you and wrap your gifts when you would get your Christmas pkgs wrapped at Joskies (sp) back in the days. Sure would appreciate it. Thank you Sir.
P.S..What did the word “bog-a-lotta” mean? I use to hear you say it when I was a kid listening to you. Thank you again Sir.
yes……..REALLY missed YOU last week PB !! was so miffed our precious time with you was being over-ridden for the political debate….decided we should just vote Paul Berlin for President : ) White House needs a different tune anyways…so , you’re our man ! okay ? oxoxox
We hate to preempt Paul Berlin. Anytime. We thank Paul for allowing KSEV to cover the Cain-Gingrich debate. And, we appreciate you listening to Paul Berlin and allowing an occasional preemption. KSEV
We are looking forward to Paul’s Nov. 12, program since we were “denied” the Nov. 5 airing. It’s like Verna stated in her last comment posting, “we don’t get enough of him anyway”. You know when you read all of the comments that fans have posted, it tells you that Paul’s fans are not just casual or lukewarm about him and the music that he provides to us. Paul’s fans are trueblue, passionate and the most loyal of anyone, because he is giving us something that we can’t get anywhere else.
So, Paul from all of us loyal fans, thanks for the memories. I will also say this again, “just can’t get enough of that wonderful stuff”.
Larry
God Almighty, bless Paul Berlin! Misses you tonight 11/5 b/c of Lincoln/Douglas debate, so I enjoyed the luxury of playing the September 3 recording. Sooo much fun, could play the whole thing over and over. Mercy, what a treasure you are sir! At least the host of the radio thanked you for your air time for the debate……beno
Missing you tonight.Looking forward to next week.
Would like to hear some Doo-Wop.
Thanks,
Larry
Paul – I see you are having to give part of your rtime to the Cain Ginrgrich debate on Sat. 11/5 – I guess your listeners as well as I will just have to wait for them to finish and then maybe you will still have some time left. I certainly hope they don’t take your whole 2 hours, we don’t get enough of you anyway, much less cutting you down – why don’t the program directors that the time from 8:00 pm instead of 6:00 pm. We will all miss your happy self.
Verna from the Heavenly Heights
On October 22, I think, you played a song by Paul Simon and another artist.”Streak of bad luck”? I’ve been trying to find it on Itunes but to no avail.I either have the wrong artist or song title. Would you please enlighten me. Thanks for your time. I really enjoy your show
Great to hear u on radio & now online. There is a song written by a father for his daughter Linda who became Mrs P McCarthey. Would appreciate a lead on who and title of the song. Have a 25th anniversary coming up, would like it for wife. thanks.
Another great show! Jammin, and especially enjoyed Sinatra’s “My Way”..Beno
So glad to hear you again. As I read the other comments, there is not a lot left to say. I miss KQUE and all the DJs and the music. I had a transistor radio under my pillow in 1960 and discovered Glen Miller, Harry James, etc. not to leave out Elvis! But didn’t some of you start out on a.m. Demand Radio 79?
Your knowledge is left out of music on Satellite radio, their loss!
As for a song…lyrics were…she was a nice girl, a proper girl,her hair hung down in ringlets… but one of the roving kind”
I think that was Guy Mitchell and “The Roving Kind”
How about ”There will Never Be Another You” or “I Know Why And So Do You”
Paul would you play Release Me by Little Esther Phillips pease.
Regards
Aaron
how about sinatra “one for the road”
Hey David – You are so right. Those KNUZ days were great! Paul was the first DJ I ever met. This was back in ’57. He was my inspiration to get into radio. I was seven years old. I spent a lot of time at KNUZ as a young boy. The staff was vey nice to me. They helped me learn radio. You mentioned Arch Yancey. He has always been one of my favorites too! Not only has Arch been a great radio talent. He’s one of the best people I’ve ever known. Both Paul & Arch are Great! I would love to hear Arch again too. Both are “Unique” gentleman & fun to listen to. It was a real blessing growing up around them way back. Johnny Goyen
Aw, c’mon! Where is October 22?
Paul – heard part of Sat. 10/22 but your station cuts power back at sundown and I can’t pick it up unless I am in the car. I did have you long enough to hear you play the Ink Spots Melody by Charlie Shaffer and it was great, anything you play by him is great. I sure hate the power cuts down around 7:00 or at sundown and I lost the rest of it but will try to pick it up when you post it on your website. You just keep doing as you are doing, as you are great and your sponsors should be happy to have you as you do such a good job on their spots. If I lived in Heavenly Houston i would certainly patronize them.
Verna from the Heavenly Heights
DEAR Mr PB
Oh my you bring up soooo many memories + good time + real music with words you can understand and say in public, unlike the trash I hear today. Sat evening with you is the high point of my week. I am so so very glad that someone was smart enough to get you back on the air where you belong!!!
Paul,
Last Saturday I attended my 50th reunion of Galena Park High School, 1961. The DJ announced that a Memories CD would be won by the first person who could name Paul Berlin’s favorite song. He began playing it, and there were many shouts of “Doodie Woo”! All wrong, of course. I called out “I Remember” by Wee Willie Wayne! I won the CD!
My family moved to Galena Park in 1951. My mother was a great fan of yours, as I was.
Hey Paul. I used to listen to you in the 50s and 60s….when I was a schoolgirl. One night, you sat near me at a Rice football game and I was so excited to see you but was too shy to talk to you. In ’75, I moved to California…but never forgot your wit and sweet voice. This Saturday morning, after not hearing you in decades, I decided to Google you and was thrilled that you’re still on the air.
Shanti Emerson, Auburn, California
Hi, Paul-
Was just listening to Andrea Marcovicci do “WWII”. She segues “We’ll meet again” with “I’ll be seeing you”. Interesting coincidence.
Would you consider commiting 15 minutes or so of WWII songs? I rather expect you were around, having a couple of years or so on me (I’m 77).
I’d particularly like to hear “I’m a little on the lonely side”. Please do it on a night they archive. Glad to hear you one more time.
Jim in Memphis
Hi Paul – I’ve gotta’ tell you that a song you played last Saturday 10/15 made my week. Actually I think it was the first song you payed. After being in radio so long you wuld have thought I knew it. I had never heard it before. The song was called “Ice Cream Lollipops & A Red Hot Spinning Top” by Paul Delicato from 1975. I was on the phone with a former Houston radio guy. I told him to hold on because the song had caught my interest. I put the phone up to the speaker & he loved it as well. For those who have never heard the song it’s on You Tube. There are several posted with the song I mentioned. If interested, locate the version with the video clips of the 50′s. The lyrics of the song are very meaningful. Add that to the 50′s video clips & it will really make you reflect on the simple things in life we loved way back. Then compare it to where we have come today. It will touch your emotions help us all realize how lucky we were to have lived in such a simpler time. Just go to you Tube.com It should be easy to find. Thank’s Paul for ending your show last week with another favorite “Bells in My Heart” by “The Spiders. We all love hearing you every Saturday. Another song with a great message is “That’s what I Love About Sunday” by Craig Morgan. You might check it out. It’s on You Tube as well. My Best yu Paul & all of yor listeners! Johnny Goyen
Just A Correction on the song tiltle I missed a word try this – “Ice Cream Sodas & Lollipops & A Red Hot Spinning Top”. Sorry I left out the word sodas. I was known for being a Houston DJ , but never a good writer. My Best To All. Johnny Goyen
Thanks for posting all the new programs.Jeanie,in La Porte
Hey Paul,
How about ” My Prayer ” – the Platters ; for Bubbles.
Thanks.
Ron Bonnel – Old Fire Eater – <|:)[-
Thanks for posting the Sept. 24th program. I just discovered that Paul was back on the air about 2 weeks ago. I have been catching-up on all of them.
“Just can’t get enough of that wonderful stuff”.
Thanks again,
Larry
ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR SHOW PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best show ever and I didn’t even request anything.Love, “May Be You’ll Be There” and “Slow Boat To China”,”It Had To Be You”and everything else that you played.Jeanie, in La Porte
Why do you not have Ms. Prissy on your show?
Robert
Paul Berlin, I am so glad I found you again! I have listened to you since 1986 when I married my husband David and moved to Houston! If you ever have a chance, please play “Enjoy Your Self It’s Later Than You Think”.
I love it and I sing it to my husband!
Lidia S. Peña
Headed to meet Mary Jean and Tanna at Mancuso’s and listening to you on the radio! Wish we were all cruising together again. Regards to Nessie. Having lunch with Charlie Shaffer and Marty next Sunday in Vegas. All the best to you. Yolanda Garza
can you put the sept 24 th podcast up?
Paul, I just recently found out, almost by accident, that you were back on the radio. It was to late to catch your Saturday, Oct. 8. program. But I have been listening to your previously recorded programs. What a “find”!, can’t wait to catch the Sat. Oct. 15, show. I am a “senior citizen” now but remember listening to you on my A.m. radio while I was doing my school homework in the mid 50′s. Thanks for doing what you do best.
Larry
Hey Paul,
What happened to the Oct. 1st show, you go from Sep. 17th to Oct. 8th ! ! !
My birthday was Oct 1st and my five girls ( yes, FIVE ) took me to dinner causing me to miss your program for the first time since July ! ! I really would like to hear the Oct. 1st show.
Also, could you please play the Platters, “Great Pretender”, for Bubbles.
Ron Bonnel – Old Fire Eater - <|:)[-
Paul -I guess I am going to have to come back to Houston to patronize your sponsors so maybe they will give you more hours or days. So please play,”Going back to Houston by Dean Martin” Going to go to Vincents, Vincents, Vincents –
Thanks for posting new shows.

Dear Paul:
On Saturday you saluted Alvin York and Audie Murphy as the most decorated soldiers of WWI & WWII. You did not mention then Sgt Anthony Herbert who was the most decorated soldier of the Korean war. Herbert retired a Lt. Col. His is best known for exposing war crimes in Viet Nam and his book “Soldier”. You can learn more about Anthony Herbert on Wikipedia.
I wonder who has the honors for Viet Nam and the Mid East wars.

Always wonderful. Have to listen online due to at about 7PM your station is overridden by first a mexican station and then after another half hour it is some english speaking station but NOT KSEV. Very odd I think.
From Lee B at north end of lake livingston .
I live in La Porte and I have to go to the internet about 7:30 to finish out the program.
Paul Berlin still has the magic voice of radio. I ahve been listening to him since 1955. I just wish he was on every day. Paul you are the best of the best!
what happens to the radio power? They turn it off before the show is over. I could hear till about 7:45, for a couple weeks, then they cut off at about 7:20. And tonight at 6:42. Then I have to get online to hear. Why can’t they leave it on? I’m only 35 miles east of Houston, in Liberty. Ben
Hi Ben – Here’s an answer to you & others who wonder why KSEV fades in parts of Houston after sundown. When we get off Daylight Savings Time it will get dark much earlier. Therefore you will notice the KSEV signal to weaken a lot earlier. Here’s why. There is a very old legendary radio station in Cincinnati, Ohio. Radio Station WLW is Also 700AM. WLW has a massive 50,000 Watt Non-Directional Signal. KSEV Has a great 15,000 Watt Daytime signal. At Sunset (Due To FCC Regulations) KSEV must Reduce it’s power to 1,000 Watts with a signal that “Protects” WLW 700 AM in Cincinnati. Also note WLW has been around for many years. KSEV was granted their FCC license sometime in the mid 80′s. Hope this gives you a simple answer. If you have internet access, go to the KSEV website and click “Listen Live”. You’ll hear it crystal clear…Just like I do in Austin, Texas. I hope this helps, so you won’t miss a second of Paul & KSEV’s Nightime Programs. Johnny Goyen
Mr. Berlin – Any chance you can play Gordon Lightfoot’s “Beautiful” for my wife, Brenda Hayden? It’s our anniversary, and she is still as beautiful today as when I married her 28 years ago. She plans her weekend around listening to your show. If you don’t have that one, she would love anything you might play for her.
- Jon Hayden
We listen to Paul Berlin every Saturday! Sandra And Juan Balderas!
Any song by Wee Willie Wayne, Traveling, I remember, Around the world or Fever, whatever you can find. I helped make U no.1 Disk Jockey in the 50′s in Houston. Played U loud and clear at Prince Drive inn on Jensen Drive. Glad to hear U again. Can’t tell U my nick name. Call me Nick.
Dear Paul,
Linda Gayle and I do so very much enjoy hearing you again. We go back with you to the early ’50s. . . and we remember the newscaster Richard Dobbins who famously always ended his newscast with “That’s the news and you know it; Richard Dobbins reporting!” Thank you for coming back and continuing to share your excellence!
HI PAUL – I’m still listening to you every Saturday evening on the KSEV website. If you can locate any of these, I would really enjoy hearing them. “I Can’t believe that you’re in love with me” by Ella Fitzgerald or anyone. I think Dean Martin had a good version too along with many others. Sreaking of Dean Martin “Imagination” would be great! Other thoughts include “Night Lights” by Nat Cole. Any uptempo Frank Sinatra from his Capitiol Record Days. Like “Oh! Look at Me Now”….or finally a real favorite “Do you Know what it means to miss New Orleans”. The great live version by Gene Harris. I never heard that version until you played it back in ’97 (I think)..There are many of us who are so happy to hear you on air again. I look forward to every Saturday 6P-8P. keep having fun! Johnny Goyen
Hi Johnny! It’s Reagan, Jack’s daughter! I had a great story about dad from my last visit home that I’d love to share with you, but I didn’t have your email address or know how to get a hold of you. Please send me an email, so we can be in touch. My email address is my firstname.lastname@gmail.com. Look forward to hearing from you!
You used to play a song by a local gal,I think her name was Maria Williams.she had a really pretty Spanish recording and you played it a lot.Would love to hear it.
Paul, at last I’ve found you thanks to my computer guy. I’m that gal in The Woodlands (with so many ex’s) and Maxine wrote in her column how upset I was that you were going off the air back then - in 1997. I’ve been a fan since you were back on KNUZ with Prissy & Sport & I was a teenager. I’m still in The Woodlands and will be listening every Sat. night. Georgann Hinton
Mr. Berlin:
Nice to listen to you again. I haven’t listened to you since your KQUE days. Always enjoyed KQUE in the early 90′s. Best wishes!
Howdy Mr. Paul ‘Irving’ Berlin,
Dave and Cindy here in Pembroke Mass. enjoying the show and wish for you to play anything by Pee Wee Hunt, a former and missed neighbor, and fellow ham radio guy…
‘Wood Choppers Ball’ ??
TNX from DaveR
I am a 67 year old woman who used to listen to you on KNUZ as I was getting ready for school. Those were the days! Just grateful that both of us are still here and I am especially grateful that I can enjoy your show sitting out on my deck every Saturday evening. Thank you so much! Nino’s is right across the street from where I work and it is excellent!
PLEASE. MORE PAUL. MORE DAYS. MORE HOURS!!!
Mike in Pagosa Springs, CO.
I SECOND THIS !! can I get a ” Harrrrrrrumph ” ???!
Stephen F. Austin will be having our 50th class reunion Oct.28-29 at the Doubletree in Houston. All are your fans. We would appreciate you mentioning the event.
Thanks and Don says hello.
Paul appreciate the new shows being posted. you are still the Greatest DJ< MC or whatever!
Play more Ink Spots, Platters, Mills Bros.
Also how about The Hut Sut Song,Rawlson on the rillerrah and a brawla, brawla sooit. Its a Swedish Seranage from the 1940's?
Thanks for all you play and say.
Verna from the Heights
Good God We Love You Paul! Tammy
Paul could you plat ” Crying in the Chapel” by Johnny Ray? Thanks david
Paul Berlin, great to hear you on KSEV. I have listen to you since I was a teenager way back in the 50′s. I have always considered you to be the best. Keep it up we old guys have to stick together. I just wish you were on more. Arch Yancey was one of my favorites too. You guys were a great team at Knuz back in the day. Thanks again David Cook
Paul,
Will you play “I’d Give Everything”? Loved it when you played it back in 1956. A local singer sang it at that time. Don @ Magnolia,Texas
thanks for the happy b day wishes…Trey
Paul, how about something from Vikki Carr? My wife would prefer “With Pen In Hand” I think “It Must Be Him” would be nice, but we both would be grateful for your favorite selection from Vikki. Keep up the great work!
Paul-
Your taste in music is impeccable (but, really, Elvis?). So is your memory, almost.
A test. Who was Horace Heidt’s (and his musical knights) piano player in the ’40′s? Went on to front his own band and wrote “Son, rise, Sarah neighted”?
I saw them on stage at the Metropolitan Theater in Houston, in the early ’40′s.
But I love Memphis, where I have lived the past 50 years.
Jim, in (you know where).
It is such a pleasure hearing you again – all of Houston loves you.
Lola and Richard (Galena Park High ) 1958 & 1959
Hey Paul, How about playing the Vera Lynn version of ” We’ll Meet Again” for some of us OLD timers? Then if I could hit the Daily-Double, maybe play the Platters, ” My Prayer ” for my wife, ” Bubbles “.
Thanks – - -
Ron Bonnel – The Old Fire Eater <|:)[-
Uh, I am a little late in responding, as I listen a couple of weeks after the fact. Paul, up here in Memphis, we were led to believe that what was Rhodesia is now Zimbabwe. Dictator and scourge, Robert Mugabe.
Can’t tell you anything about Zambia. but I am sure some of your listeners can.
Jim/Milby’52
I started doing Christian Radio in 1983 and have modelled my radio work after you, Mr. Berlin. I’ve been a fan of yours since your KNUZ days. KQUE was my favorite station until KMBE came along. I recently discovered you were on KSEV and was thrilled. Forget Saturday night TV this 67 year old man will once again be in front of his radio listening to his favorite DJ spinning the great songs he grew up listening to. Thanks for being there for me, Paul.
I listen to you during the night. Like the Gospel Greats on Sat.
Paul Sat. 9/17 – Great show – you started off with Across the Alley from the Alamo, I had been humming all past week, also Charlie Shaffer, So. of the Border was great too!! Your program is very educational to me and I really enjoy. Didn’t know Glen Campbell didn’t write Gentle on my mind! – Now I do. Didn’t know you were blessed with 5 boys, lucky!
Keep the oldies and your remarks coming. Still Listening!!!
Verna from the Heights.
Paul, My wife and I throughly enjoy your show, we look foward to it every Saturday. I used to listen to you on 790 at work. Moving here from New Orleans in 1964, I have enjoyed listening to you for a long time. So glad that you are back on the air, our thanks to Dan. If possible, please play Saint James Infirmary by Bobby Bland. Keep up the good work.
Okay, Paul , just now finding you back on radio. Don’t think you could ever know how big a part of our lives you and your music have been through the many years. Want to sincerely thank you for all the listening pleasure. Hope the Christy Minstrels’ “Today” has a place in your music library, today . . . .
My gosh I heard your voice on the air last week, knew who it was and thought it was a rerun. I was born in Houston and my parents and I listened to you all the time. I remember meeting you in person at sometime, but can’t remember when/where. Wow! I’m glad your back on the radio. It brings back wonderful memories of the GOOD OLD DAYS! I would love to chat with you sometime. I think we had some mutual friends. Just a few might be Baldwin Cassata, Jake Costa and Murphy Carrier who started the Lone Star Beer Distributorship in the 1950′s in Houston.
I will keep listening and so are my mom and dad in the sky. Take care my friend……Fred C

I am 79 and really appreciate the memories that you revive every Saturday.
Thanks for the memories.

Good show Paul.

Paul, my wife and my is Bewitch Bothered and Bewilder … we listen every Sat. if you could play it we would appreciate it. You knew my Sept- dad, Hal Hebert, a tenor sax man and claneat (sp) … he played with all the local big band types here. You also use to jock at the Mt. Carmel Sat. nite dances … can you believe we are comming up on our 50th. re-union? Man how did we get here from there. Shame you don’t jock any more … you’re probably the only guy in town that remmbers what we danced to … the class of 1962 … Oh before i forget how about some Jimmy Reed … saw him at Jimmy Manouts club … again pardon the spelling. God Bless Ole Friend, Mitch and Sharron Martin
I would like to hear Etta James The jelous kind
Paul Berlin and I have a common favorite….Doody Woo…
hi love the show, can you play-lover’s concerto -by jane morgan? also which was the bigger hit moody river by johnny rivers or moody river by pat boone. finally was the strange song in the early 70′s by les crane
Could this be the same Nick Fields who sang lead on “Playmate”, a Jimmie Duncan song recorded in 1957 on Jimmie’s Cue label by “The Clefs, featuring Nick Fields”. It reached number 3 on the KNUZ top 30. The flip side was by the same group, but with a different lead singer. I played piano on both sides, and arranged them both.
Paul Berlin is a great Houston institution. I have fond remembrances of my father singing I was born under a wandering star as he was in bliss listening.
I am so very amazed and gladdened to hear him still spinning the best of the best, so many nuggets uncovered.
God Bless You Paul!
Early 90ties, always had Paul Berlin on my shop radio.My customers always asked what is this station you listining to and they all tuned in to listen.He always told a story about the artist, I will always remember Paul Berlin.Great company in a one man shop.David Eudoxie Sr.
Paul, my wife of 54 years & I moved to Houston in the 80′s and listened to you
continuously in those early years. It’s so good to have you back. Two hours a week isn’t nearly enough so I just click on your postings and listen to you all day long. Paul, it occurred to us that, with our devastating wild fires, parched land and no end in sight, you might save the day. Do you remember Johnny Ray and his two hits “Just Walking In The Rain” and on the flip side “The Little White Cloud That Cried” ? We need both of these songs to go along with our prayers for rain. God bless you and God bless KSEV for bringing you back.

How about Raindrops falling on my head or just plain Rain Drops
don’t know who sings them but it would be encouraging anyway.
Also Its Raining in my heart – Buddy Holly – Charlie Shaffer has it recorded too. Play more Charlie Shaffer, Please! His 50′s recording are great!
Our county (Burleson) had a Please Rain prayer last week on courthouse lawn. Very well attended but nothing falling yet.
Congratulations to and your wife of 54 years -

Despite “ailing” is was not a “droopy show”. In fact, one of your best in my opinion. Some of the great old music…hi-lited by Bolger’s “Once in Love with Amy ! Promise you’ll never retire, Paul… it would be a terrible waste. Wonder if you could dig up a vocal rendition of your theme, “We’ll Meet Again.”
Hey Paul what a great program you have. My wife and I would not miss you on Sat. night. Please dig deep into your song bag and pull up “down Mexico way: by Gene Autry, also would like to hear “when I was 18″ by Jerry Lee Lewis. Thank you so much for fond memories. Aubrey Moore
Hope you feel better soon Mr Berlin. And please talk to Tom Tynan before you go for the aluminum siding. Tammy
Paul,
One of the songs last night in that movie about Gus Kahn was “Carolina In the Morning” and my all time favorite version was yours (which you used to play sometimes in your early Houston radio period) and nothing would please me more than for you to play us your lovely version of that song.
I’m in Fort Worth now but I’m originally from Houston and started listening to you in the early 50′s. Thanks for all the variety of music styles and gracious hosting of all those radio broadcasts.
Thanks,
Thomas Alkire in Fort Worth
Good God this show makes me Happy! Found you Mr. Berlin five weeks ago, and haven’t forgot to listen in since, but I missed it last Sat. Went to see the Astros, my youngest daughter , Marisa works at a cafe right by the ball park, called Home Plate. Had to have her wait us before the season is over.
I was so dissapointed when you went off air few years ago.
The thrill to find you back on air is unbelievable.. Please keep on.. we will be patronizing your sponsors..
Not as far away as Zambia, but you have us here in Liberty Co. LOVE YOUR SHOW,Beno.
No August shows posted,skipped to Sept.what happened?
Hello Paul,
We are so happy to be able to hear your ” Velvet Voice” and witty stories once again! Dan Patrick is doing something right! The only complaint we have is, you’re not on the air long enough! Two hours is just doesn’t cut it.
Would you please play ” Never My Love” , ” Sugar Pie Honey Bunch and or ” You’ve Come Along Way From St. Louis”? Thanks again! We love you and your show. My husband is crazy about you as well as the rest of us. Raylene Willis
Wow,new shows posted.Thanks !!!!!!
Whoops! In my comment to you yesterday I inadvertently typed “Elwood” rather than “Earwood.”
Jim
I love your show. You play everything that’s good.
Please add “Riders In The Sky” to your show.
Ok, Berlin. You played a lively version of “El Rancho Grande” and said it was by “Mundo Elwood.” Went on Amazon’s MP-3 to get a copy and they have over 250 versions of “ERG,” but no Mundo Elwood. Where can I find him?

Hey Jim – I don’t know the song you mentioned but I believe the artist you are looking for is MUNDO EARWOOD. Give that correction a try & hopefully you’ll come up with you are lookin for. Good Luck to you in finding it. Johnny Goyen
hello paul, when i first migrated to the u.s.a. in the late 90′s , i tuned into a radio station which you hosted everyday mid mornings till late afternoons, and you brought back so many of my childhood and teen days memories back in ZAMBIA , AFRICA, where i born and grew up. ZAMBIA then was a BRITISH colony and we had a lot of AMERICAN influence CARS, MOVIES, TV MOVIES AND SITCOMS, the american type of cafe’s and all the comics, so i grew up with a lot of the memories of yesteryears stars, music, movies, lifestyles and when i tuned into the station you hosted , i was bowled over with your nostalgic stories of those years, here i found someone who could relate to my days, and i would get my kids to listen to your programme, and my daughter sophia , became an ardent fan of yours too. until one day , when sophia informed me that you had retired from the DJ’ hosting, this was when i went back to ZAMBIA for my usual business, (i tvl back and forth every six-twelve months) and my heart sank, but, lo and behold, this last saturday i was looking for a programme on the radio, i just happned to tune into ksev 700 , and i could not belive my ears when i heard your voice, i was thrilled and overjoyed, and i got on to the site to see your schedules of programmes, but was disappointed to learn , that you only presnt it on SATURDAY FOR 2 HOURS ONLY, I ALSO SEE THAT WE CAN LOG IN AND LISTEN TO YOUR STATION ON THE NET, I HOPE TO LOG IN AND LISTEN TO YOU , WHEN I GET BACK TO AFRICA, END OF THIS MONTH. I WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOU ONE DAY, IM A BIG FAN OF YOURS. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND GIVE A LONG LIFE.YOU BRING A SMILE AND HAPPY MEMORIES INTO PEOPLES LIVES. GOD BLESS YOU.

Just checked out Great Dee Jays,thanks for the info.Loved all the picures.
MISSISSIPPI MUD by Dinah Shore please?
How about playing a little Harry Connick, Jr. for my little Cajun Queen, Yolanda. We will be celebrating our 25th anniversary in a couple of months. I’d like to request the song We Are in Love.
Been listening to your show for about two months now. I was all about new age and hip hop a big fan of r and b and cool with the 80′s. I have to say you turned me around..took me back to a really good age of music. Am only 20 but love your show…By the way, last week you played an Italian song…what was it….Thanks…
How about a dose of “Listen to the Mockingbird”? Just now heard that you were back in circulation for all us oldsters. SO GLAD; you’re as awesome as ever; bless you and yours. Flo
Dear Paul, you’ll have a new listener this week; my Aunt Hazel in Rosenberg. She’s a dear lady who just celebrated her 80-somethingth birthday. Please play something special for her. We love you Aunt Hazel! You too Paul! Gary & Vicki.
Hey Paul,
Driving home after dinner last night, I saw an old guy sitting against the wall of a building drinking from his Brown-Bag Bottle and thought – ” Paul needs to play something for these old forgotten people “; and so I wonder if you could reach waaaaay back into your files and find a song called ( I think ), “Drink Wine Spody-Ody, Drink Wine “; for all the wine-o’s as well as the high brow wine tasters.
Thanks.
Ron Bonnel – The Old Fire Eater - <|:)[-
Paul – hope your week has been good. Will be listening to you Sat. Nite 6-8
for all of your good music and comments. You really make my week.
Thanks again,
Verna from the Heights
Mr. Berlin,
Love the show; I wish we still had a full time station playing popular music. I suppose at 42, I am a bit of an anomility—but I love to listen to a good DJ and not just the music. Satellite music just does not cut it.
Anyway, I have an unusual request. Do you have any 50s/60s sound checks? Full shows with DJ, commercials and music? If so, can I get a copy? If not, any idea where I could find? You or your heros?
I would like to hear how a show flowed and feel the pace. I am sure the clock was a little looser and there was more room for improvise.
Any help would be appreciated.
You played Ella doing Paper Moon last week, so I am set on requests. How about a set for the Warwick? Charlie, Enzo, Gustavo, Jack, Dick, Tony and Ricky. You can read some of Maxine Messinger’s introductions and add a story about each performer. Would be unforgettable.
Mike
Hi Mike,
I just saw your post here and it brought back memories of my favorite jobs ever. I spent every spring playing at the Warwick Club from 1982 right up to closing night in May ’89. That gave me the chance to enjoy my hometown at a nice time of year, and to enjoy the great music of KQUE radio, which did not yet exist when I relocated to Las Vegas in 1958. Thanks for remembering. Looking at your list of the other Warwick performers, I was in great company.
I’d love to hear Jim Reeves’ He’ll Have to Go or the Browns’ The Three Bells. Loving the music. So glad to have found you back on the air. You are a national treasure!
I have just discovered you online up here in Granbury, Texas, southwest of Fort Worth. I am a Houston girl who grew up listening to you on KNUZ. Great memories!
Like the show! How about ” The Last Farwell” or anything by Roger Whitaker?
Would love to hear “Ivory Tower”
Thanks,
Lynn
Dearest Mr. Berlin…. tickled me to no end tonight to hear you announce my Dad and Cindy up in Marshfield/Pemboke Mass. …..yup, I turned those crazy kids onto your wonderful Saturday night show here in heavenly Houston…. just ADORE YOU !….
It is great to hear his voice on the radio again.
Joe Canales
In Reply To Jeanie Phillips–Jeanie–I just wanted to express my gratitude for the kind words about my dad Webb Hunt & his monument to musical good taste, the lamented legend—K-QUE–FM. It was the nice people like you & the other loyal, longtime listeners who kept the station on-the-air through 37 years. May God bless you & yours. To the good times . . . Stephen Hunt
Paul I thought you would like to know that NickFields of the nick and Connie show in the early 50′s passed away 8/23/11 he is by 5 children and 15 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.
He passed away at the VA hospital,ironically where he began singing and playing his guitar at the young age of 10 for the veterans. He died from complications of a stroke. If you would like you can email me suzicami82@gmail.com
Sincerely Suzanne Fields Robertson
Could Please Play Hushabye 1959 Hit Bill
Paul, You’ll enjoy these pictures of days gone by in Houston.
http://www.westburyhshouston.com/class_custom1.cfm
D Zylicz – I certainly enjoyed the pictures – FYI I was a 55 graduate of Reagan. In the early 60′s I got to be friends with Bill Williams through the investment firm I worked – and low and behold – he sent me an electric skillet clock with Bill Williams in the rough” on it I still have but have never hung it or used it – its precious – If anyone knows of a collector of such, let me know.
The pictures were great – so many memories – especially Garden Oaks Show and Princes – Thank you.
Verna from the Heights

Hi Paul,
This is a couple of days early, but Happy Birthday to you on the 22nd. Please pick something from the good old Dixie-Land music you have to play for yourself, from all of your New Orleans listeners.
Ron Bonnel – Old Fire Eater - <|:)[-
Paul – Monday 8/22 is your BIG DAY. Hope you have a very happy birthday and keep having them.
Verna from the Heights
Paul, who do you know (still alive) that was involved with KXYZ early days?
Paul – thanks much for playing Matilda by Cookie and Cupcakes. I just caught the last of it as I was having trouble with my radio and don’t know if you played it in response to my request of some time back but anyway, thanks it is good anytime. I finally found the Charlie Shaffer CD with ‘We will meet again and I’ll be seeing you’ Right there in the Heights in Heavenly Houston. The CD is Music from across the way and around the world, if anyone else has the desire to have it like I did. I hum that song most the time.
Paul, your show is just so good. It makes my week. Those 2 hours are mine alone to listen to your show. Thanks for being so informative and do keep it up. I like anything you play most of the time, but how about Quiet Village, by Martin Denny!
Till Saturday.
Verna from the Heights
Hi Paul, i really enjoy your show every Saturday and look forward to it. Could you please play Hasta Luego by Hank Locklin if you have it……Im sure you probably do. It is included in the album Memphis Women.
Thanks in advance
Jim
Paul,
Too many singers on two different tracks can sure mess up the Cup Cakes.
But one thing I always wondered about has now been answered….Disc jockeys don’t listen to what they play.
Your rendition of Matilda by Cookie & the Cup Cakes was overridden with another song at the same time. Not Grammy worthy.
We love ya anyhow.
what a crab… I think it’s funny : )
Paul, you are making my “twilight years” the greatest. Let me pick your brains, once again. Who made “Maybe You’ll Be There” popular? Could you play it?
Jim “on line” in, where else, Memphis!
Please play Bells in my Heart – I have tried to find where to request a song be played and I can’t find it. PLEASE play “Bells in my Heart” for my mom.
THANKS!!!!!!!!!
IF POSSIBLE PLAY DROWN IN MY OWN TEARS–INSTRUMENTAL VERSION–ORGAN– I HEARD IT MANY MOONS AGO ON YOUR SHOW & HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND IT. THANKS FOR GOOD TIMES I WILL BE LISTENING TONITE & EVERYCHANCE I GET
Sleepy Lagoon by Harry James please.
Paul:
My wife Marlys and I really enjoy your show!
Western swing is a great Texas tradition, and the River Road Boys will be playing for a dance in Houston Saturday, Aug 20 at the SPJST #88 Hall (the Chandelier Ballroom, 15th & Beall), 8:30-12. Perhaps you could play some good western swing on the Aug 13 and Aug 20 shows? If you don’t have the River Road Boys, Bob Wills, or Milton Brown, or Adolph Hofner, or Jody Nix,or Asleep At The Wheel, or your choice…
By the way, I only recently discovered that I can listen to your archived shows on the web. Maybe you should mention this on the air?
John Rivard, The Texas Polka News
Love your show, Paul; you’re great at keeping all the “golden oldies” alive!
Would love to hear a very old goldie… “When Your Old Wedding Ring Was New”, I think it was “Jimmy …? Something” who recorded it as a beautiful ballad. My husband and I have been married almost 55 years, and that song
is ours, so to speak.
Keep up the good work; God bless you!
Eleanor, Katy
I think it was Don Cherry.
Jimmy Roselli
Paul – Please play “You Light Up My Life” by Debby Boone. It was played at our 50th Wedding Anniv. Party in 2009. We will celebrate 52 years this Aug. 15th. Charlotte & Paul Fowler (P.S. We are Josh Pennington’s grandparents and will be sharing Denise with you next March 31st)
Hi Paul….My wife and I love your show. We even tape it and listen to it while we are swimming in our pool later in the week. We have three requests: I Double Dare You, Larry Clinton; What I did for Love, Jack Jones: and Reminiscing, Little River Band. Keep up the good work. Dont ever quit. David and Laura Liggett in Spring.
Hi Paul – Still listening and still trying to find I’ll be seeing you by Paul Shaffer, you replied to Betsy some time back it was from his Vera Lynn collection, but evidently that did not make public distribution because I still have not found it. Anyway, your show is still great – and since you like Nat King Cole, how about If I May. I think this is your birthday month but cant remember what day??? anyway Happy Birthday all month long.
Thanks, Verna from the Heights
The 22nd.
thanks Jeanie

In reply to Vicki & Gary & Jeanie Phillips–Thank you for asking about & remembering my dad Webb Hunt, who developed the format & concept of KQUE & signed it on the air in October 1960. He also performed his on-air show for 37 continuous years from 1960-1997.Sadly, he passed away in 2006.Again,thanks very much for remembering & listening to KQUE. Best wishes–Stephen Hunt
Thanks for the info.Sorry to hear of his passing.I would listen to him all night when he had that spot.There will never be another station like KQUE.
Jeanie–I just wanted to express my gratitude for the kind words about my dad Webb Hunt & his monument to musical good taste, the lamented legend—KQUE-FM. It was the nice people like you & the other loyal, longtime listeners who kept the station on-the-air through 37 years. May God bless you & yours. To the good times . . . Stephen Hunt
Stephen, I was saddened to read your comment about your dad’s passing. Webb was one of my favorites on KQUE. I did not know about his involvement in getting that station on the air, though. I never missed hearing at least portions of Scott Arthur in the morning, Paul Berlin mid-day and Webb Hunt, too. Ronnie Renfro was also a favorite on KQUE. I am thrilled to learn that Paul is back on the air.
Hey Paul – Another great show last night. I listened to the full two hours. Thanks for saying “Hi” to me along with your Austin/Internet listeners! Looking forward to next Saturday. Johnny Goyen
I keep hearing and reading about people who have listened to you for years. Wonder how many of those went to watch you spin records at the Scanlan Buiilding (believe that was the name) when you first came to Houston? My friends and I did; San Jacinto alumna class of “54.
Did it many times.Do you remember Biff Collie?
Jeanie – I remember Biff Collie – also Floyd Tillman and Little Margie.
we must go back about the same time!
Verna from the Heights
Hello Mr. Berlin:
I have been a 60 year fan of yours. I emailed a lot of people to listen to you tonight. Thanks for another great show. I recently bought a “Firehouse Five Plus Two” CD and a Perry Como and a Sauter Finnegan CD. I just HAD to hear “Nina Never Knew” again, and the other S-F songs I loved so much. Remember Ray Noble and “Happy Anniversary”? When I first heard it one night, coming home from a date, I was hooked and still listen to it. If you want to play “In The Good Old Summer Time” or one of these songs for EVERYONE, it’s OK with me.
Keep up the great work, jb
Sugarcad@windstream.net
Listening to you reminds me of the 50′s when I was a young teenager.
I’d make everyone finish dinner by 6:45 so I could listen to the top 3 songs while I washed the dishes! Good ole KNUZ
Thanks for the memories.
Janet
Paul;
You were our radio daddy that let us know that it was time to get our dates home when you signed off at midnight. My girl friend and I saw you and your wife one night at the Plantation Ball Room on South Main. Im glad that you are working again even it is only part time. Hope that they have to pry your dead fingers off of the control knobs some day. You deserve to do what you and we love.
Ralph Byrnes
Thanks for another wonderful Saturday evening . . .
Keep up the good work Paul !!!
Hi Paul – I’ve known you a very long time! I’ll never forget the first time I met you back in 1957 at KNUZ in Houston. You were my inspiration to become a Houston D.J when I was 7 years old. I had to wait a few years, but thanks to You, I landed my first Houston Radio job at Soul Radio Legend KYOK when I was 15! I’ve been gone from Houston for the past ten years, but I still listen to you every Saturday on the internet here in Austin. As you know, I love all kinds of music…..so play me something of your choice. My Best To You & Your Listeners, Johnny Goyen Austin,Tx
I listen to your show every Saturday. Keep the good music and great stories coming.
Paul,
Could you play peg of my heart for my wife Marilyn? You played it last week and this is one of her favorite songs. I simply loved that version and I dont remember who played it. I would love for her to hear it.
Thanks
can anyone tell me how to record the broadcasts on my computer?
Hi Paul,
Several of us will be going to Nino’s this evening. I will tell everybody that you sent us. We will listen to the first part of the program in route to dinner. Have fun tonight.
Woody, your fellow allergy patient.
On Saturday, July 23rd, we would love to hear Glenn Miller’s “In the Mood” and “Dear Heart” by Andy Williams. The world is so much easier to deal with when listening to you on Saturday nights. The music comes even more alive with the stories you tell.
Paul – on 7/16 thanks for correction on April Stevens instead of Marilyn Monroe on Give me a little Kiss. – Also you mentioned your sign off medley was Charlie Shaffer from his Vera Lynn Collection – I have searched and even emailed him but still have not found it. Can you help me here too? Does anyone else out there know where I might find it?
You and your show are TOPS!!!
Verna from the Heights
Verna-Your email didn’t reach me. I didn’t know you had tried. I can be reached through http://www.charlieshaffer.com. There are links to all my Cd’s. Thanks for the interest. Once a bear, always a bear! (Spring Branch motto)
Thanks for reply – and sorry you didn’t get email. Will send to your website.

Still haven’t heard from anyone re the name of Charlie Byrd’s album that contains the instrumental version of “Lulu’s Back In Town”. If anyone knows I’d really appreciate it, as I have been searching the internet for months with not results. Paul (and sometimes Scott Arthur) used to play it fairly often on KQUE.
I’d really appreciate the help.
Paige
Thanks Paul for bringing the music from my teen years, oh so long ago.
Paul,
Your program is an oasis of good music in an otherwise local wasteland on both the AM and FM bands.
Station management needs to expand your program to more nights a week.
My dad, son and I very much enjoy the big band classics – look forward to hearing more of these.
Would appreciate hearing the following:
1. Peanut Vendor by Stan Kenton
2. Snowfall by Claude Thornhill
3. Poinciana Glenn Miller (instrumental version).
4. Canadian Sunset (instrumental version).
Thanks and keep the great sounds coming!
Regards,
Doug in Katy
Yes Mr. Doug – Claude and Stan the Man were fantastic. I think the name “Artistry Jumps” by Mr. Kenton was one that used to blow me away.
It comforts me so to hear your voice…. I just LOVE you Mr.Berlin ! …. wish we could have a full time KQUE or KBME format again ….
I love it too Mom!!!
B, I am soo glad you told me that Paul is on the air again! I have missed this kind of music on the radio for years! And I agree with BHayden!!
Bless you , Paul!
Hi Penny !!!! Isn’t it GREAT ?????? I am so tickled you have tuned in now too….
and, you probably noticed that other shows are posted ..we can hear those anytime too : )
Thatsa my girl Brenda, and her kiddo Marisa, Pamp here listening in Mass. near WPLM like in olden days…
Keep up the good work, Mr. B…
it is a BLAST to share this with YOU Dad !!! …even cross country ~ Keep listening Pops ….and spread the WORD !
I think it is such a CRIME and SHAME that a large city like Houston does NOT have a radio station that would play this kind of music all day ! I miss those KQUE days and KBME days….
Hello Paul,
Could you play “Summer Wine” by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood?
Thanks very much,
Robert Collins
Listening to the last hour of May 4th. Wish you would play “All I Have To Give” by Jerry Tiffe.Thanks
Paul – how about ‘I’ll never be free by kay starr
thanks.
Verna from the Heights
Paul – Sat. 7/9 show – Your favorite fairie tale, the Princes and the Frog – led into ‘Jerimia was a bullfrog” GREAT. Also – Give me a Little Kiss – you cut off for commercial but I guess it was Marilyn Monroe – You never did say. Your show from the 1951 hit parade was great too. I know your wife enjoyed that. I hope she had a very Happy Birthday. Didn’t know she was from New Braunsfels – I used to spend a lot of summer times at Landa Park and Lake McQueenie too.
I guess from Jeanie Phillips that it is Charlie Shaffer who plays at the end of your show. I enjoy your show so much. It is my weekly treat. Thanks for your whit and music.
Verna from the Heights
P.S. Now I can hear GOOD music while I play word games. There’s no good music on any radio station in Houston anymore. (Since Paul.)
PLEASE!!!! Keep him on in your programming…..preferably MORE hours per week !! He is a gem and a genius in the music world of yesterday. A terrible waste of knowledge and talent, that he can only broadcast two hours a week. But happy to have at least that………I would really like to be able to contact him (by Mail ) and voice some thoughts personally……but don’t know how, other than to email thru’ this medium. Don’t lose this wealth of musical knowledge while you can………soooo glad he’s BACK !!!!!!!
Would like to request the entire recording of “We’ll Meet Again”….
Betsy – I have been trying to find the Paul Shaffer album with I’ll be seeing you – Paul replied a few weeks back it was from his Vera Lynn Collection but I have been unable to find. You have any suggestions.
I love listening to Paul, have listened to him in my younger years KNUZ
and later on KBME before they went all sports. He is really good and really brings back good memories.
If you can help, please let me know. I do not have a computer at home and only have access Mon, Tues and Wed., so if you don’t hear from me thats why.
Don’t know where you are from, but I was born and raised in the Heights.
Graduated Reagan Class of 1955 – Yea Bulldogs.

Betsy – I finally found the CD with We’ll Meet Again and I’ll be seeing you by Charlie Shaffer – The title is Music from across the way and around the world. I have nearly worn it out playing it already.
CS is so good, like Paul Berlin.
Verna from the Heights
Thanks for “Ivory Tower” — Listened to it many times at Louisiana Tech in 1954. Great memories from The Rendezvous in Ruston.
Swing Low Sweet Chariot by Quartets
Hello Mr Berlin: I am Harry Joe. It was a joy to have met you in person at the Hyundai Dealer Center. I am enjoying your program tonight. I also like the song called something like “listen to the Radio” if you can think of it.
Again, it was a pleasure to meet a king in Radio.

Dear Paul Could Please Play The Brass Ring The Phoenix Love Theme
Simcerely Yours
Bill
Paul,what a sweet song to play for your wife. I’m surprised that you didn’t come up with a joke.You are really being nice.Wishing her a happy birthday.
Hey Paul, I have a story to tell you. In the summer of 1967 @ age 13 I heard a song that my dad had commented on. He was killed in april of that year. I heard this song several more times through the summer and then it faded into a memory. Many years went by and as I remembered my dad I also remembered this song. 30 plus years past and without hearing that song again and I began to wonder if the faint melody actually existed or was it just something I had imagined. One cold rainey winter morning about 4 0r 5 am I was in bed half asleep very sick with fever and the flu with a barely audible KNUZ playing in the background. Then a song began to play and within the first few notes I bolted myself up and putting my ear to the radio I realized this was the song I had heard so many yeras ago. I wasn’t able to catch the name of the song at that time but the next day I called and the lady at the mike told me that she would find it. She did and the name of that song was “If I ever find the time” by The Jones Boys. True story so if you know of or have this song it would be nice to hear it again. Best wishes. Terry from Houston.

Could Play Tommy Darsey And Two For Two I Enjoyed Your Show
I’m a long time fan–way back to the 60′s (yes, I’m that old!). I used to hear Charlie Byrd’s rendition of “Lulu’s Back In Town” on your show, and have exhausted every effort to find it on ANY of his albums. I recently ordered (at no little expense) his “Live! at Blues Alley” CD, but is has a vocal version…not the instrumental version that you used to play.
I’m hearing it over and over in my head and it’s driving me nuts. Can anyone simply tell me which album it is on or where I can get a copy?
I’d really appreciate the help.
Paige
P. S. Check out my channel on YouTube and you’ll see just how much Paul Berlin, Scott Arthur, and Ronnie Renfrow influenced my music taste. My user name is “texpaco”.
http://www.youtube.com/user/texpaco?feature=mhsn
Paul your 4th show was great – need a boost since no fireworks.
I replied to Charlie Shafer re the 4 clefs and maybe he can help with ‘dig these blues’ – I was sure you played it back when you had your lunch time show on kbme. Well I am still trying, anyway. Enjoy your show and hope you “This should go on forever’
will be listening Sat nite.
Verna from the Heights
Hey Paul, I knnow that Sunday the 10th. is your wife’s birthday, so would you play something nice for her; after putting up with you all these years she deserves a song in her honor.
Dear Paul Would Please Paly Tea For Two By Tommy Darsey I Love Your Show
It Is Good My E-Mail Is kd5eka@juno:disqus But I Can Not Play Muis Also Please Play Wonderland By Night My Name Is Bill
Do you have a recording of “Ivory Tower”? Don’t recall who sang it, but it was popular in ’55 or ’56. Would love to hear it again.
Tonight’s show is great, as usual, but it’s the fastest two hours of the week.
Lynn
Dear Paul My Name Is Bill Please The Phoenix Love Theme By The Brass Ring
I Enjoy Your Show
Hello Paul..
Glad to find you again…Your old friend Joyce Webb in Wimberley also says hi.
How about Dino’s ” Going back to Houston”?
Bob
Hi Paul…I usually record Saturday shows (4 o’clock my time) and listen later. It occurs to me that if you ever wanted to dedicate something to Poochie, I could put it on a CD for him. Also I’ll have a surprise for you in the mail soon (by the 4 Clefs). That camel walk is tough, by the way. Maybe you just make it LOOK easy!
Charlie – checking on Paul Berlins comments I see you have a surprise by the 4 clefs – I have been looking for ‘Dig These Blues” by 4 clefs and Paul was able to find by Chet Adkins but maybe you might have some idea about it. I would sure like to get a copy if possible.
Have fun out there in Vegas and hit a lucky number with my name on it. I’ll share. Paul does have the best show ever. I have listened to him since I was teen back in the 50′s – he just keeps getting better.
Thanks for your time.
Verna from the Heights
Charlie – Paul said on 7/16 show that the medley he signs off with is Charlie Shaffers Vera Lynn Melody – I have looked and am still looking but can’t find anywhere and I really would like to own that CD because when Paul signs off on Sat. at 8:00 pm – I sing it for days. He also said you are from Spring Branch – I am from the Reagan Class of 55 – and knew several Spring Branchers. Please help if you can so I can get onto other things for you and Paul.
Verna from the Heights.
Hi Verna – The name of that CD is “Music From Across the Way and ‘Round the World” and one place you can get it is at GladMusicCo.com, right there in Houston. Thanks for asking. I was class of 56 at Spring Branch. I think listening to Paul in those days had a lot to do with forming my musical tastes.
Hi Charlie – I must have missed this. Anyway, thats just where I found the CD – Wes Daily and I were almost neighbors only a few years difference.
He said they had a music store on 11th and Cortland but i don’t remember it. You probably did know Duke if you finished in 56 I think that was same year he did.
I guess I have been listening to Paul, when I could for over 55 years or so.
You did go following his profiles.
Verna from the Heights
Waiting for you to post all of the June shows.Thanks
Hey, Paul how about Don Cherry’s “Pleasing You”? Keep up the good work!!You are still the “Bestest”!!!!!! Presley
Paul; Great to hear you again: Our mutual friend, Joyce Webb, says hello from Wimberley…
How about Dino’s “Going back to Houston, Houston” for an opener?
I am originally from SA…hs class of 1958….We came over here many times
during hs and you were always the King on radio..Loved you and also KRIS in Corpus…

Thanks for the many years of great music, Mr. Berlin! Would you consider playing “You Belong to Me” (either the Patsy Cline or Jo Staford version)? Thank you again, sir. I look forward to your broadcast every weekend.
Paul,
I can’t tell you how happy we were to find you back on the air. You played songs for me all through high school and college, as well as on our 10th anniversary in 1989. Well, Phyllis and I are still married after 32 years and we would love it if you could play us something.
It’s great to listen to you every Saturday.
Angelo Russo
Paul, would you please play a Pete Fountain medley?
up a lazy river–mills brothers for Connie on Barker
In Bonham listening to you again.Hope the other June shows will soon be posted.
Wow…so glad to find that you are on the air…this made my year!

6/21/11 First day of Summer – temps in triple digits. Anyway, thanks much for Do De Woo! Oh Lord, I remember! Too much to talk about. Your show 6/11 was great as always – How about “When we’re 65″ = don’t know who by or if thats right title, I just know I like it – Also Joe Stampley ‘Penny’
Have a good week and I am looking forward to Sat. 6-8 KSEV from Beautiful Houston. By the way – I would go to Vincents or Ninos if it wasn’t a two hour drive from where I live, and thats just getting into Houston, Much less West Dallas between Waugh and Montrose.
Verna from the Heights
Hey Paul… Play in the Mood, Glen Miller. Your biggest fans: Bob and Shelly in Dallas!!
Hey paul ,I was watching “Rio Bravo” again today,one of my favorite movies. How about some ricky nelson.
Paul, Wht was the name of the disc jockey that did the late night show on KNUZ and KQUE. You guys , if my memorie is correct, said he was the oldest DJ to have a show. My question, have you surpassed him yet????
Don’t forget my Don Cherry, Pleasing you!! Keep up the good work, We enjoy what you do for Houston!!!
Presley
I think you are talking about Webb Hunt
Hi Presley-I listened to Webb Hunt nightly on KQUE during the eighties when I was in Houston every spring. Years earlier, in the 50s, I listened to Buddy Covington overnight on KNUZ. They were both faves, but there is only one Paul Berlin.

Sat. 6/11 show one of the best. Guess you finally get around to my comments two hours just isn’t long enough for your show. How about Matilda by the Cupcakes for my birthday 6/25 – would be great. Won’t tell how many, but I think a few more than you. Always enjoy your show.
Verna from the Heights, back when it was really cool.
Thanks for continuing to post the Paul Berlin shows to this page. It’s greatly appreciated.
Love that the recorded shows are now available. Been following you since the 50s and I not only enjoy the music you play, but your knowledge of the history of so many artists, plus your amusing anecdotes makes your show “one in a million”. I always wonder how big your music library is; it seems you can go for many shows without ever repeating anything! Pretty amazing. Look forward to many more years of listening!
Hey Paul..I really enjoy your show every Saturday night…Just wish you could be on every night…I know you have played “Slippin Around”…but do you have it by Floyd Tillman?
Listening to you tonight in Bonham ,TX.at my daughter’s home.Yea for the internet.:-)
Thanks, Paul, for letting me hang on to a shred of my youth. I stream your program in Memphis, TN (ever hear of it?). You were numero uno when I graduated from Milby High School in 1951. Could you play “Lonely Wine”.
Sprat in Memphis
Paul , where is Scott Author and Debbie now, miss all you guys in the AM!!!!
Left Houston in ’61 for Memphis, of all places. Was a faithful fan up until then.
Back in ’51, “P.S. I Love You” was a hit for the Hilltoppers. But you played one more frequently by another choral group, which arrangement was more sophisticated. Who was that group?
The late Fred Cook, dean of Memphis broadcasters spoke highly of you and often.
Pleasing You (as long as I live), Don Cherry
Thanks for your suggestion to dine at Nino’s.We celetrated our anniversary
there and as you say,Good Food and Good Service !! A lovely evening.
Love your show!! Elizabeth & Stan (KQUE Fan)
Paul – I apologize – so I guess you can play I apologize by Billy Ekstein but the reason I am apologizing is I asked for Penny by Jim Croce and Penny is by Joe Stampley not Croce. Sorry if I put you to extra trouble. Sure enjoy your show and have cousin in Dallas trying to get your show up there.
Also who is the composer/song writer that plays your sign off theme, I thought maybe Paul Shaffer but haven’t been able to find it. Please let me know. And keep on rocking and rolling Paul, you are the best.
Verna from the Heights 6/6/11
The piano player is Charlie Shaffer but I don’t think he wrote the song.
Jeanie – 7/12/11 Thanks for your reply – I don’t have computer at home and get behind on my emails.
I have been looking for Charlie Shaffer version of it but so far unable.
I do listen to Paul every Sat night – that is my time exclusively for Pauls program. We need to get a Sat Nite Paul Berlin Fan Club going!!!
Thanks again for your reply.
Verna from the Heights
Sounds good to me.I have a lot of clipping of when he left KQUE.I also have the video of his retirement party from KBME.
The video I have is from his 50th anny tribute, not a retirement.My mistake.Think he was at KSEV at that time.
Wish I had!!
Paul’s sign-off theme is, ” But I’ll Be Seeing You”, played by Houston’s own Charlie Shaffer
Ron – thanks, I hadn’t tried that title yet. I’ll do it. I really enjoy Charlie Shaffer in all his music.
I don’t have a computer at home – so I am sometimes not able to reply as quickly as I would like to.
Thanks again, and have a good summer.
Verna from the Heights
Actually, the title is “I’ll be Seeing You”
Hello Paul – Incidentaly I am 78 years old. Your show and Your Music is the greatest. It is now 8:03 pm – 06/04/2011 just finished exercising in the pool to your 2 hours of Music. Going to schecule a party soon – inviting Quail Valley, Missouri City, Tx 77459 Oil Field Trash Retiries to Eat, Particape in Adult Beverages, and Music from 6:00 pm to 8:00 by Paul Berlin, The Music Master. Mr. Paul, would you be available to come by 3215 La Quinta Dr. Missouri City Tx. after your show for a few hours. I got about $20,000 worth of sterio equipment/dance floor that probably could due justis to your renditions. If not after your show – maybe during other days. —- Do you know my great friend — Dixie —
Really would like to have you over some night – What is your fee?

brother Bob is feeling a little punk – possible to play “Your Green Scarf Matches Your Eyes?” again this week – thanks, love and Blessings from your Other Brother - brother Peter Manry
6/1/11 I am listening to your 5/28 recording. Jim Croce – I had one entitled ‘Penny” that I got from a radio station that was a demo – but I have never found it on any of his recordings. Do you know of it or if you have it can you play it for me. Croce was one of my favorites too.May 28, 1956 was when I got engaged (first time) – could have been to ‘When a Man Loves a Woman”
Verna from the Heights
6/1/11 Happy June – Your 5/28/11 show was great. – “I got a right to cry!” – I had almost forgotten about that one now its on my mind constantly.
Paul, you have such a good show. The way you lead into ‘Take Five’ was great. Canadian government taking over those quintuplets – only your whit – you are so sharp on things – anyway enjoyed your show and will be listening every Saturday that I possibly can. Did you ever find Fannie Mae or how about One Mint Julep????
Have a good one.
Verna from the Heights 6/1/11
Hey Paul,
I am so happy I found you on the radio! We’ve all missed you terribly! You are a true treasurer and it puts me in such a good mood to listen to your show. I feel totally transported to another time when all was well. Thank you, thank you! By chance, were any of your old shows recorded from that time period?
I started listening to you back in the middle or late 50′s on KNUZ and when you had Berlin’s Record Shop there at Holcombe and Greenbriar! You had these great booths where we teenagers could go in and play your 78 or 45 rpm records to see whether we liked them first! No one today would even know what we are talking about!
Also, occasionally, on a Saturday morning down at KNUZ, I’d go down there with my friends to watch and listen to your show — once you put me on the air for a moment. What a thrill that was for a 14 year old girl.
Would love to hear any songs by the Spiders as well as Sam Cook’s “You Send Me”.
Thanks!
Gail
Hi Gail – Thank You for bringing to mind The Spiders!!! A real favorite of mine that Paul would play in the KNUZ Days was “Bells In My Heart”. Does anyone recall that. It was GREAT! My Best To All. Johnny Goyen
Thanks again for a wonderful early Saturday evening beginning. T’was wonderful !!
Love the show tonight. Hard to beat dean Martin’s deep baritone
In 1958 what was your theme song? I listened to you every day after school. you were on knuz at 3:00pm. Enjoy your program every Saturday. Please play the song for me. Thank you Bill Smith
7/7/11 RSmith – I think it was Mr. Touchdown USA – that was one of his theme songs – can’t remember for sure if it was KNUZ or KQUE?
Verna from the Heights
If Sarah Palin becomes president, I’m moving to Canada for sure!
natalie cole- sentimental reasons
Dear Paul Berlin…. “Loving You Has Made Me Bananas!” Nice to be able to listen to you again!
Your favorite Finn, Leena
Well 5/14 was as good as they get. Bobby Darin was/is one of my favorites. What about ‘If I was a Carpenter’ and heres one that will keep you looking for a while ‘Fannie Mae’ don’t know who recorded. All I look forward to is 6-8 Sat nights and your show. You are the greatest and I feel like you missed your calling somewhere – you should be more famous than you are!
You need any oldies – I may have in my record library, just ask!
Verna from the Heights
Berlin if I am not mistaken and Lord knows I too often am.
1.) Somethin’ weird went on Sat nite the 7th. Please explain whether you were gone and the station attendant couldn’t quite pull the right triggers & pump the right gas, or you got there real late and that was actually live at the end.
2.) The real you was back on the 14th, but you did not mention this web-site. Have you given up on the cyber life?
Actually I am betting you don’t do computer at home, but just when you get to the studio once a week…..right or wrong ?
3.) I notice never use “King” when announcing Nat Cole, who appears (to my ears) to be one of your favorites. Just wonderin.
4.) You cued a Bobby Darin tune and then backed off and changed the play to “Mack the Knife”, Wish you would play the miscued one sometime, it was
“Early In The Mornin’”
Godspeed
olepap
(the “Wonderin’ Boy”)
Is it possible for you to provide a list of the songs that were played this passed Saturday, May 14? Thanks
I think this is all correct. (B.T.W. I have no connection to the show)

Paul—Is that you, after 30 years out of Houston
Great!
Ahhhhhhh!!! WONDERFUL!! I’ve been listening to you since I was a kid while daddy drove the car. I was about 5 when I figured out how to turn the radio dial in my room myself. I always turned to the station daddy liked with the horns in the music. You, Scott Arthur and Ronnie Renfro were all my heroes back then. When I was a teen, I still listened to you while my friends all played rock. Now, I’m 38. I know all the words to these oldies, and still don’t know the words to the stuff from the ’80′s. Gosh, I think I still had the KQUE phone number memorized until just a few years ago. I used to call and beg for Chattanooga Choo Choo. Now, I can listen on Saturday night when we’re in the car on the way to a gig, and the rare times we’re home on a Saturday, we’re glued to the radio. And of course, I can listen to the internet recordings while I work too. Oh, the things you’ve seen this Country go through. We’re truly blessed to have your talent!
Paul – Saturday 5/7 show was a dud for an hour and half without you! All those pauses where you usually talk. I guess you went to the Derby and was late returning. Remember, its not The Paul Berlin Show without you. I thought something mechanical might have happened but was glad near to the end you finally came on. I hope all is well – and you can keep playing oldies but without your input, its just another radio show. Please play Money Honey again.
Verna from the Heights
Is there an email address available to contact Mr. Berlin?
“That’s why they call it live radio.”
Paul, your microphone was turned off, or unplugged, or sent into electronic oblivion for well over an hour of the show on May 7, from a little before 6:30 when we got out of the pool until about 7:40. The songs played, some prerecorded commercials played, but everywhere where you were telling stories, reading copy etc…..dead air.
I’m still trying to figure it out.
thanks
Where is Paul?
I check every day to see if the latest shows have been put up.Still waiting,come on please.Surley someone can post them.
Fred Rose, not Willie wrote “Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain” in 1945
for Hank Williams.
I wonder how “I Miss You So” would sound performed by
Ike & Tina?
Hello Paul – enjoyed Sat. April 30 program much. Floyd Tillman always good.
After listening to your program I started going through my oldies – I have a bunch – even a lot of 78s. I have most of best of 1957-58 and 59. Those as well as 54 to 57. What I would like to hear is ‘Money Honey” and Do De woo.
or take out some insurance by Jimmy Reed, I have four of his LPS but can’t afford the CDs – poor little Heights girl.
Keep the oldies coming.
Verna from the Heights.
Hi Paul- I have 25 KQUE bumper stickers. Anyone need one? Where is Renfro now? Ken.
I would just about kill for one of those…
I want one so badly!
Hi Paul..
Could you please play Smoke Dreams by Jo Stafford..Thanks..
Mr. Berlin – could you please play “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered”. This is “our” song. We danced to you in the 50′s & 60′s and pick this song as ours at the Golden Stein on Fannin, owned by Leo Klanazakis. We’re both ’62 graduates and dated in high school up until we were 21. My husband (now) was drafted and we lost each other for 35 years until we got back together in 2000. We’ve been married 10 years and listen to your show every Saturday and dance on the patio. Thank you so much for bringing all those memories back to us….Sharron & Mitch
Could you play Peanuts by The Stellar Unit
Hi Paul. Do you know anything about the other former KQUE broadcast personalities? I was wondering about Webb Hunt. I know in years past, he had some serious health problems. Best wishes to them all, and you, too!
In reply to Vicki & Gary & Jeanie Phillips–Thank you for asking about & remembering my dad Webb Hunt who developed the concept & format of KQUE-FM & signed it on the air in October 1960. He also performed his on-air show for 37 continuous years from 1960 until 1997. Sadly, he passed away in 2006. Again, thanks very much for remembering & listening to KQUE through the years. Best wishes —Stephen Hunt
Paul, for years you have told the story of Casey Jones on April 30. Are you going to do it again this year. I’m a rail history buff and love the ballad’s of Casey Jones and the wreck of ole 97. Both are true stories told in a song.
Paul, over the years you told the story of Casey Jones on April 30. Are you going to do it again this year? I’m a rail history buff and the Casy Jones ballod is one of my favorite stories. It like the wreck of old 97 are true stories told in a song.
Sure enjoyed Sat. 4/23 show – Dig these blues by Chet and your information as to where to find. I had heard that one but it is different from the one you used to play in 50′s. but will keep looking. Also nearly flipped out when you played ‘ I miss you so” I had almost forgotten that one. I didn’t get what it was on the flip side of though. There are so many of those oldies that you play that bring back such good memories of the Heights and Reagan High. I still have a lot of them on 45, 78 and 33 and play them on my Zenith when can. Keep them coming Paul.I listen and then I’ll re-listen when you record them for replay. Enjoy you and your show more every Saturday.
Verna from the Heights
Verna–In an odd move by RCA Victor, I Miss You So, by the Cats and the Fiddle, and Dig These Blues, by the 4 Clefs, were back to back on a single 78, later a 45.
Charlie – I looked back and here it is – yes if you could, I would appreciate copy of both. My record collection is something else, but did not have those.
Thanks for your help – have a good week.
Verna from the Heights
Please put up some of the latest shows.I play them all through the week.
My wife and I listen as often as we can. We are never disappointed. It is such a pleasure to listen to all this good music. Paul chooses it so well.
Sitting here in my Man-cave again. Missed you last week. How about some Rick Nelson or Dean Martin?? Love the show. Duane Schroedter-El Campo,Texas
Hey I just got of the line with a gentleman from Memphis who worked with you in radio there. He lives in Houston and he told me he is 84 and I told him how could that be since you are only 59 lol. His name is Leslie Thompson.
Best regards
Aaron
Will be very disappointed if you are not on this evening.Looking forward again as I was last week only there was no Paul.
Paul I am listening to your recorded program of 3/19 you are playing Ole Lamplighter – my very favorite – I have that CD. Wish you could find
Dig These Blues or let me know where to find it. I didn’t get a chance to listen last weekend 4/15/11 but I will try to catch you every Sat. that I can.I am so glad to know where to find you. Verna Lee Kegans from the Heights Reagan Class of 55.
Please keep the oldies coming.
vlkb
Paul – I missed your show on 4/15/11 but I hope I won’t miss anymore.
I used to listen to you at lunch on KBME or KMBE before it went all sports. But I found you first as a teenager at Reagan High – You started your show with Mr Football USA – I would still like to find Dig these blues by Chet Adkins or The Four Kliffs or kleps. Let me know where I can get it.
I am listening to your program from 3/19/11 – Ole Lamplighter is one of my favorites too. Do you ever get a chance to reply to your webmail by email?
Keep those old ones coming – and send some rain this was. BY the way, Gas in Caldwell, College Station, Bryan, is $3.79. Wish us all luck.
Houston is beautiful city I was born in but glad to be away from but your program makes me homesick.
V. Lee Bartlett
Are you the same Mike Marshall that used to be on KQUE? If you are I miss you too.
Can you play “Baby Please Don’t Go”, by Fats Domino. If you do not have that how about “Work With Me Anne”, by Hank Ballard. Thank You, A Real Oldie at 71, Pat
What happened,didn’t know you were not going to be on tonight?Waiting all day for the program.-:(
i agree
I’ve played these broadcasts over and over,how about putting all the new up?Thanks
Paul, Another super show on Saturday Apr. 9th. It brought back some great memories. Thanks!
paul; how about hoagy carmichel ‘huggin and a chalkin’..this song always makes me laugh….jimmie
Hey Paul !! Today is also the anniversary of the first game played in the Astrodome – April 9, 1965. Brian
Hi Paul. I’ve been listening to you at least since the 50s in Reagan High School. I searched online for you for months until I found you again. My wife and I had a booth at the Houston livestock show for 24 years until they put us out to pasture a few years back. I guess we may have something in common. I don’t have many regrets in life but I do regret not stopping to meet you one year as I passed you broadcasting at the stock show. A quote comes to mind from “The Natural” that fits you perfectly. “You’re the best there ever was.” Keep making my Saturdays special all the way to Loveland, Colorado. “After The Lovin” by Englebert would probably melt my wife Sunny’s heart after almost 35 years. All the best. Jack Syptak
Mr Berlin………Wow did the memories start to flow when I heard “If I Knew You Were Coming, I’d Have Baked a Cake”. This was a song that my mother sang to me all the time since my earliest memories. My mother was one of those people that sang around the house her entire life, and I sang those songs to my children, and singing them still to my 15yr old granddaughter. Thank you for the unexpected memories that came flooding back…..you made my day!!!!
HEY PAUL::: HOW ABOUT SOME INK SPOTS AND ELLA FITZGERALD..’INTO EACH NIGHT SOME RAIN MUST FAKK’…LOVE YOUR SHOW….JIMMIE WILLIAMS
I understand that one of the Ink Spots daughters lives in Houston and she has a museum in The Heights in their honor.I plan on going with a group this month to see it.Thought that might be interesting and wanted to pass it along.
Paul: Would you please play “Today Is Mine” by Glenn Campbell? You have spoiled many of us with your shows thru the years. Funny, but with the exception of KQUE, I cannot remember the other station call letters. Doesn’t really matter, ALL of us know “PAUL BERLIN, PAUL BERLIN, PAUL BERLIN.”
Can you play it this week, for ‘Old Times Sake’ ? Thanks, Annette
KNUZ and KBME Thanks for sponsoring.
Thanks for putting the March recorded shows on.Hope we get the new ones as they are recorded.If I ever have to miss a live one I can go back.Thanks again.
More recorder programming please. I can’t list real time but I sure like to listen to Paul’s program.
Hey Paul, could you play “A little love and understanding”? Don’t know the artist but would really appreciate hearing it. I can hardly wait each week for Saturday night to hear Paul Berlin. You’re the Best! Thx, Stanley
I finally found you – been trying every since KMBE went all sports. I grew up listening to you in the Heights – I went to Reagan and graduated in 55 listning to you on KNUZ starting show off with “MY FOOTBALL”. I have called in too!
You taught me to appreciate Nora Jones as well as others from the 50′s .
One I haven’t been able to find is ‘Dig these blues’ I have searched far and wide but no luck – you used to play it often. Hope you continue to do well there in the big city I moved away from 25 yrs ago to Caldwell, TX and work at Texas A&M and love everything about country living but miss your radio shows. You rember Biff Colley and Little Margie, also Floyd Tillman lives (or was living) not too far from Caldwell and used to play at the VFW on Sat. nights. Sure brings back good memories.
VLKegans from the Heights.
Hi Paul, we love the music & stories, as we always have. We’re thrilled you’re back on Houston’s airways. We’ve found 2 on-line sources, Wikipedia for one, that say Linda McCartney wasn’t related to the ‘Kodak’ family. What are your sources that say she was? Just curious. Gary & Vicki Cofer.
Hi Paul. I am SO thrilled to be listening to you!!! You have been missed. Sounding great. All is well while you are on air. Thanks for what you do like no one else.
HEY PAUL
MY BROTHER IN SPRING WALTER ETIE TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR SHOW, I USED TO LISTEN TO YOU WHEN I LIVED IN HOUSTON .YOU ARE STILL GREAT TO LISTEN TO. SEEMS LIKE A OLD TIMES . THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE YOU. MARGIE IN WACO
Can You Play Phil Bodner Brass Ring The Phoenix Love Theme I Enjoy Your Keep Up The Good Work Sincerely Yours Brother Hood
Love the show, look forward to every Saturday night in my man cave. Wish i could get the station outside on the radio. Hasve to listen on-line. Sure would like to hear some dean martin or Perry Como. Love the crooners.
Know play the one that put u in the big time. One Kiss led to a mother
Sentimental Journey – Hoagy Carmichael
Alley Cat – Floyd Cramer
We really enjoy your program. Thanks for “unretiring”
Jack and Wanda Rapp
Last week you didn’t say how long you had been married.
Heard you mentiom on one of the shows that Eydie Gorme was not doing well.Sorry to hear that,loved to go see her and Steve when they played Houston Music Theatre.How about something by them?
Paul, last nite, the 19th you played the most beautiful mostly piano rendition of “We’ll meet again” but unfortunately you talked over the whole song. I have hunted the net high and low and can’t find anything resembling that. Do you remember who the artist was on that one? Thanks
Hi Paul remember the night Roger Williams hauled a piano to his room and gave us a concert to remember. How about Autum Leave.
Best regards
Aaron Schneider
Oops! it’s Mack the Kife.
Paul, really enjor your show! I’d like to her Jack the Knife. I don’t remember the artist’s name. Thanks Larry
No Particular request Paul I’m, Just setting on the patio enjoying the music and some stomped grapes. Your fellow allergy shot attendee, Woody.
Great fun
If you can’t find “Sunrise Serenade”, how about “Hernando’s Hideaway”?
Lynn King
Love your show! Can you find Frankie Carle’s rendition of “Sunrise Serenade”? It’s one of my all-time favorites. Thanks.
Lynn King
Waiting till tomorrow night when you come on.How about some Helen Forrest,maybe “Deep In A Dream”Thanks!!!!
You are a treasure! People who don’t listen to your show don’t know what they are missing. In the midst of upheaval throughout the world nowadays, you take us back to a time and a place where life seemed a little simpler, a little lighter, and a whole lot better.
Hi Paul, it’s great hearing you on the air again. The music and stories are great. I was just wondering if there is anything you can do to keep the volume up when you’re speaking. The music and the ads come through loud and clear, but the volume goes down when you talk. We love hearing what you have to say, but it’s a little difficult. Best wishes to you and yours. Gary Cofer. 713-455-7861 vickicofer@att.net
Mona Lisa by Nat King Cole
Paul, my husband and I have been listening to you since the 50′s and never tire of your wonderful selection of music and your great radio voice!!! You are the best “DJ” that Houston, Texas has ever had, and we should know since we are both native Houstonians!! Keep up the great work. Thank you Dan Patrick for this national treasure!!
Paul Berlin, Would you be so kind as to comment on the pianist, Anson Weeks. Do you have some of his recordings? Perhaps you could include a few on KSEV.
Paul,
My wife and I thoroughly enjoy your Saturday afternoon show. We listen to it every week.
Jack & Pat Howard
Hey Paul,
I think I love your stories more than the music. (But not a whole lot more). Well yes anybody can play the songs (if they could find them) but only you can underline and spotlight em with the greatest BS this side of the farm.
I especially like your Dickey Maegle stories.
Have you any stories about Dick Gottlieb? Paul Bosch? Sonny Look? Greer Garson (maybe the best lookin’ woman of all time).
Or please explain why the Ames Bros came to Houston to open a club, and why they left. And what became of them then?
Someday when you have time and if you like it I wish you’d play the Old Lamplighter.Was one of my dear Mom’s faves and if it was good enough for her I’tl surely do for me too.
In fact you sorta remind me of the Old Lamplighter, only you relight my memories every Saturday night.. And I thank you (and Dan) for it.
Godspeed
Olepap
Do you have any recordings of previous broadcasts from any station you have worked for (preferably from KQUE) for sale? I loved all of them. If possible, I’d like to hear more Scobee’s Frisco Band and Clancy, and Walt Boenig’s Canadian Spitfire Band recordings. We sincerely appreciate hearing all the songs you play, and all the behind-the-scenes and historical stories you tell. We hope you live FOREVER! Gary Cofer.
It’s great to have you back on the radio. Thank you very much.
Been following and listening to you for fifty five years. You are the best DJ in the world! Kitty Cisneros
Great Show. Two requests:
I don’t see me in your eyes any more. Perry Como
I never see Maggie alone. Kenny Roberts
Keep up the good work.
I remember you playing “Shake A Hand” by Faye Adams frequently in
mid fifty”s. I would like to hear that again
Hi Paul…My 90 year old grandpa loves ya…he has no computer….but I recently visited him in Spring TX….I told him you are on Saturday’s on 700AM.
Thanks for all you do Paul! Your a pleasure to listen to….I found you up here in Nebraska. Remember you on KQUE. Enjoying listening via the web!
Paul: You are signing off now and I wish you were on for another several hours. Please try to talk Dan Patrick into letting you do as many hours on air as you can stand! You are the only one playing my kind of music these days and I’ve been listening since you first came on the air. Just love your show and also wish you’d write a book. If you already have, please let us know. claudette
OK Paul, I guess I will have to try again. Don’t know what happened tonight but you seemed to have a problem with the CD or the drive because you were not able to play, “My Prayer”, by the Platters for Bubbles. I had her standing by my desk to hear it and then things went to Hell in a hand basket! Would you please try again for her?
By the way, I still have a record (33 1/3rpm) that I purchased from Paul Berlin’s Record Room way back then.
Ron Bonnel – Old Fire Eater – <|:)[-
Can you find “Emmit Lee” by Carol Frann? I’ve wanted to hear this one again for so long, but no one plays it. Love your misic.
THANKS FOR THE DOODY WOO, PAUL…HOW ABOUT SOME’LONELY WINE’
I’d like to hear “Behind The Green Door.”
Hi Paul,
I am 70 years old and have listened to you for years…I am a native Houstonian…St. Joseph’s Hospital.
Please play “If I May” believe it is by my very favorite, Nat King Cole…no one like hm.
I remember when I was young how you liked Teresa Brewer.
Take care.
Vee P.
Been away from Houston for 35 years. Looked for you everytime we returned, but things changed while we were gone. Please play “Only You” by the Platters for us.

Hey Paul-Hi from Las Vegas! I’m glad to see they’re archiving the show now, at least for a week. Every now and then I miss one. I couldn’t improve upon your selections, but if you were to ask, I’d request Scobey and Clancy. Working on my camel walk. Charlie
Enjoy your music so much.Saw you years back at the 1894 Opera House in Galveston.Glad you are still making music.
Jeanie-Thanks for the comment. If it weren’t for Paul, you probably would never have heard of me. Yes, I’m still hanging in there, and enjoying the ride.
Paul Berlin.. We have been listening to you since the 50′s. We now live in Washington State and just rediscovered you. You are the best DJ ever!!
We love to listen to Paul Berlin. Every Saturday night–in the backyard, a glass of wine, the firepit going. We love it.

Harry put the lime with the coconut and mixed up a nostalgically potent potable.
Very good call, Ms. Olivia!
Going out of town tomorrow to a 50th anny so glad to be able to hear the show recorded if I don’t get back in time to hear it live.
Hello Mr Berlin… I used to hear you on KQUE and there was a song about Houston. And I wonder who sang it? It went “Houston. Houston. That’s my hometown.”
Hi Johnny, Houston My Home Town was recorded in Dallas at Pams. The vocalist was “Terri Lee Jenkins”….she did hundreds of cities with the same catchy beat..
Hello Paul how the @#$% are you? This is you friend from Boston…please play something that Chuck Stevens did!!!!! Miss you Paul xxoo Kim
I recently heard Houston artist Tomas Balasteros’ rendition of “Ghost Riders in The Sky” and it is absolutely spectacular, and also fondly reminds me of Vaughn Monroe’s big hit of yesteryear. I have the CD and can forward you the track if you don’t have access to it.
Also, thanks for you help with the Walden Follies big band production in 2007.
The best is yet to come, Tony Bennett, that would be a nice one I have not heard in a long time.
Hello, Mr. Berlin
I remember hearing you on KQUE as a young kid in the mid-70s when my dad would have the big wooden console stereo on. I grew to love those old songs and every time I hear one it takes me back to my childhood days. Great to still hear you on the air!
One of the songs I remember hearing back then was (if my memory serves correct), “Hernando’s Hideaway” (by Archie Bleyer ?). Would you happen to have that song in your collection?
Thanks, and hope for many more years on the radio!
Chris
JUST A CLOSER WALK W/THEE ……PLEASE .THANKS..JO ANN COUCH

Hello, Paul: Glad to hear you are still going strong after all these years. Mr. Too Sweet is still the best thing that has happened to radio in Houston. Listen every Saturday and don’t forget to play “Sweet Lady of Waihole” once in a while. Thanks for all the great music.
Gary Abramski
Love the show, brings back so many good memories. Thanks for the Memories Mr. Berlin. Pat M Groves, Tx.
SUMMER WIND BY FRANK SINATRA. THANK YOU PAUL FOR STILL BEING HERE IN HOUSTON FOR YOUR LOYAL LISTENERS. THANK YOU DAN FOR BRINGING PAUL BACK, JIMMIE HORN
Paul, I have been listening to you since 1949, starting on KNUZ through KQUE and now on KSEV. I first met you while you were doing a remote from the old donut shop on OST at Holcombe Blvd. after a high school football game. How about “My Prayer” by the Platters, for my wife “Bubbles” from Ron
I’m just your fool Ella Johnson
I’ve been listening to you since the 50s. I remember when you had Prissy on the show. Love the music you play and wish you were on every day!
Paul, Great Show! Glad to hear you on the air again!
Jim Medlin, Spring,TX
Paul,
Thanks so much for your show and the selection of music on it. It reminds me of the top 40–live disc jockey programs I grew up with and have missed ever since AM radio changed over to talk, sports, etc. Your format is the way that AM radio should be. Thanks for bringing it back, if only one night a week. I love it.
You would think a city as large as Houston would have an easy listening station.I really miss KQUE.There is a station in the Dallas area that have live DJ’s during the week, KAAM,when I visit my daughter in Bonham I tune it in.Glad we have Paul if only for 2 hours.
listen every saturday nignt, one of my favorite shows!
from mg21
HI PAUL; SURE WOULD LIKE SOME ‘DOODY WOO’…THANKS….JIMMIE WILIAMS
Wish you could tell us sometime what the former DJ’s of KQUE are doing now.always enjoyed Barry,Webb,Scott and Mike.
Hi Paul, I will be listening again tonight. Love you. Olivia Taylor
Love the fact that we can log on and play the shows again.I’ve already listened a couple of times.
glad paul is back..is there a song…khyber rifles? hope you are here for a all time, missed your show..
Paul — I am so happy to hear you’re on the air again! I’ve missed you!
Would love to hear one of the old songs by the Spiders! Thanks, Gail
P.S. I used to come by Knuz in 1956 on a Saturday morning once in a while.
I taped some of Paul Berlin’s shows from the mid 90′s when he was on KQUE 102.9 and I’ve been listening to them. “The Music of Yesterday & Today”, how I miss that station. I sure wish there was a way to bring it back. I just found out tonight he’s back on the air on Saturday nights, I’ll be tuning in.
Wow! I’m a teenager again. My mom & dad moved to the Aldine area in the summer of 1954 & I found an old radio. I listened to you on KNUZ as well as the black DJ’s on KYOK (Hotsy Totsy & Dizzy Lizzy!) & KCOH. You played ALL the music whatever race made it. What a marvelous time to have lived. Sock hops with records spun by KNUZ DJ’s in the school cafeteria. Keep it up.-Dick
So happy you are back.I stay home from 6-8 every Sat.evening and listen on the internet.Would love to hear” Senerade In Blue ” or “I know Why And So Do You” by Glen Miller.
How ’bout some Gene Thomas —–SOMETIMES, WATCHING IT GO, PROMISED LAND, THE TRAIN, etc. Thanks, Mr. Berlin, for being you.
