Tommy Hunter Canada's Country Gentlemen

(5 estrellas; 2 reseñas)

Tommy Hunter began performing as a rhythm guitarist on the CBC Television show, Country Hoedown, in 1956. The Tommy Hunter Show started as a CBC Radio program in 1960, replacing the long-running variety show The Happy Gang. It later replaced Country Hoedown on CBC Television in 1965. Hunter's show was picked up by TNN in 1983 and continued on CBC until 1992.

Throughout its run, the show featured various performers, including singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot during the early years of his musical career. Personal aside: On a visit to Canada, I was privileged to be in the audience during one of his CBC telecasts and had the opportunity to speak with him briefly, sharing my Country Music experiences.
