Thread Name: Big Bill Campbell and his Rocky Mountaineers
Subject: RE: Big Bill Campbell and his Rocky Mountaineers
Amazing how this thread jumped from 1999 to 2009 as if 10 years were the blink of an eye.
I can recall this program in the mists of memory and if I recall correctly the central character 'Big Bill' did a monologue which I think was entitled 'The Cane bottom chair'. There was also a handsome young cowboy (name forgotten)who came riding in from the range and sang a song. Also a bunkhouse sweetheart(name also forgotten)
It was all part of the British post war fascination with the imagined wild west.Talk about the imagined village!
