Ralph Wall was born March 29, 1955 on a Florida Air Force base. When his father completed Air service duty, the family returned to their native Nebraska. His early musical influences came from an assortment of radio played pop-rock artists of the 1960's. At age 15, he began a disc jockey career at KUVR in Holdrege. The station format consisted of 'block programming' which introduced him to several genres of music through the broadcast day. In that day, countless records were sent by labels to stations and most never charted. Ralph frequently found the non-mainstream records as inspirational as hit platters. Just as books and movies cover a wide range of subject matter, Ralph often song writes scenarios and topics other than love. He is one of those artists who cannot read the notes in sheet music or transcribe his own melodies to paper. For Wall, tunes and lyrics are born by playing through guitar chords and creating a new work. Sometimes, songs are developed during long hikes or aimless drives on back roads. Outside of recording original music, Ralph's career has been in Nebraska broadcasting beginning with radio from 1970-1980, then 16 years of TV weather anchor and feature reporter work for a Kearney, NE station. In 1996, he joined the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission to produce/host an outdoor recreation-hunting-fishing show. The show was discontinued in 2002, but Wall continues to produce the agency's audio, video and broadcasting material.
