Thanks to Bill Arhos, the innovative creator of Austin City Limits, in collaboration with Terry Lickona (producer) and Gary Menotti (director), the show has become a beloved fixture of PBS programming. Every week, millions of viewers around the country tune in for the intimate jam sessions, watching their favorite artists perform against the signature lights of the Austin skyline. The program's title was inspired by a road sign on the outskirts of the city. (http://txtell.lib.utexas.edu/stories). The representatives for Austin City Limits who are joining us are: Edward L.
