and his Canadian Cowboys in ' Rocky Mountain Rhythm ', No. 2
The cast includes: Big Bill Campbell , Buck Douglas , Jack Curtis , the Three Buckaroos, and the Redcoats of Rhythm, and, from time to time, other members of the rural community of ' Peaceful Valley '
The programme devised and written by Big Bill Campbell
Produced by John Sharman
The genial Canadian Big Bill Campbell, who so successfully puts over on the air the authentic flavour of the West, has given listeners such popular Western shows as 'The Rocky Mountaineers', 'Hill-Billy Round-Up', and Cabin in the Hills '.
He has a terrific library of Hill-
Billy songs-around 6,000, and his friends in Canada keep sending him more. He used to broadcast a lot in Canada and the States and came over on a holiday in 1934. He went to see Eric Maschwitz, then Director of Variety, and Eric invited him to compere an ' 'All-American Variety' programme. The other compere was the present Director of Variety, John Watt.
Within a year Big Bill had produced on the air the first ' Rocky Mountaineers' programme, which was to bring him fame.
