Born in Odessa, Texas, Jim Paul Blair spent most of his years growing up in Clayton, Oklahoma. Being the son of former Texas Playboys member Ramona Reed, he was exposed to the music of Bob Wills at an early age. Jim has portrayed Buddy Holly in Muskogee Little Theatre’s production of “The Buddy Holly Story” twice to sold out shows. In addition he has portrayed Hank Williams in Muskogee Little Theatre’s production of “Hankerin’ 4 Hank”, a Hank Williams tribute show numerous times.
