Now let me think,
who was on those shows? Of course the show was presented and compared by Allan & Brian
with Ken as the star performer.
Other artists were
Bill Flanagan,
Max Maher,
Noel Clarke, (hey thats me!) and
Marion Arthur, there are more and
thanks to my old mate,
Cec Davis, I have now updated the list of names of friends that appearded on the Radio Ranch shows.
Bob Bennett, George Larson, Georgie Ellam, Col Millard, Merv McPherson, Les & Cec Benstead, Cec Davis
and everyone's mate, the late singing postman and wonderful character
Andy Flores. Another name that comes to mind was
Wally Buchanan he was also a great mate.
Allan Carmichael was also a budding magician, he did tours with "
Reveen" (a hypnotist)
around northern NSW and I believe southern Queensland. In fact I caught up with Allan again after many years and he is now a full time
magician.
Allan and Brian Baker aka "Ally" made our touring
Radio Ranch shows a fun time for
the artists appearing, and the audience sure had a fun time too. I cannot recall
one show that was not a sellout.
Allan Carmichael aka "Kanga"
Sadly Allan passed away late in 2003.
