Ray    Big Bill DID die in 1951. I have been to his grave in Littlebury ,and also had long talks to Peggy when she lived in Bedford . She was known as "The sweet voice of the west",Buck Douglas was "the old cowpuncher" Norman Harper "The yodeling buckeroo" Mervin Saunders and later Eddie O'docherty "The sargent of the mounties" and Ronnie Braun played his old squeese box. Big Bill died in Ipswich in April 1951 while touring with the band. I have three CDs,a recording of the radio show and a touring programme signed by Peggy. I would answer any questions the best I can.
