"Holiday Ranch" Feb. 25/56

Year Published: 1956

Description:

Episode C-8-6

Holiday Ranch was a simple variety show designed for fans of country music, though the musicians and song selections subtly cast a much wider net. At its peak, it drew higher ratings than "Hockey Night In Canada."

Hosted by Cliff McKay. Featuring Norma Hutton, Doug "Hap" Master, Hayward Morse (son of Barry) and guests Monique Cadieux and the Aylmer Step Dancers. House band featuring: Bouncin' Billy Richards, Ralph Fraser, Matt di Florio, Dapper Don McFarlane, Smilin' Al Harris, Donnie Johnson, etc.

Apologies for some soft focus, it doesn't last too long. Great cast crackup at 16:40 when Dapper Don's tuning peg accidentally lifts Cadieux's dress!
