Introductory Paragraph

I cleaned up the first paragraph, which was sloppy and misspelled Ray's name. --Hesperides

URL Link

Changed the word Unauthorized to Unofficial for the KGO history page.

Article restructured 2006-10-10

Article restructured and tone formalized to be more consistent with the biography page scheme. I know the birthdate (at least the month and day) have been mentioned on the air, if any listeners to the show, or anyone else, has this information, please add it to the introductory paragraph.

Ah ha! He mentioned his birthday not five minutes ago, at the exact time that I was reading this discussion page! How bizarre. Anyway, it's February 7. And he seems very proud to be an Aquarius. -Randomglitter 10:15, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As of November 27th, 2018 theres lots of speculation on where Ray Taliaferro went in the Paducah, Kentucky Area.

Plus there were reports of dementia according to news sources in Kentucky and in San Francisco. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.17.179.250 (talk) 20:34, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the sources confirming Ray Taliaferro's death.

Leaving KGO

I came looking for "the end of KGO" story. What happened, when? (See: "KGO Ambush Firings" Dec 1, 2011? -- I was away from night-radio during that time). Can anyone update this Wiki-article? Ray was involved in so much -- that should be included. Wasn't he a San Francisco governing official? There was his early life, above the stockyards where he became vegetarian? And his rich music life, Piano, Jazz Festivals, what else? The Poetry nights; call-ins from Internet listeners all over the world. He was such a huge person, how can he just disappear.
