I understand Kevin is now enjoying his well earned retirement.
| Can anyone please help me
fill in the history of Radio 2LM Lismore's very successful 1950's Radio Ranch. This program was
extremely popular, it even had it's own monthly magazine and a membership of thousands. Every
member received their own membership badge and they wore it with pride to all the country music
show.
If you can help

I remember Tom Crozier, Kevin Knapp & Dick McLaren were I think the originals.
Then there was Allan Carmichael & Brian Baker (aka) was it Ally & Kanga?. In the
late 50's I know I was proud to be part of the touring shows produced by Allan & Brian and
played in towns all around the north coast of NSW. One of the tours was based around
Ken Parmenter who had just won Australian's Amateur Hour. Now let me think,
who was on those show? Of course the show was presented and compared by Allan & Brian
with Ken as the star performer. Others artists were Bill Flanagan, Max Maher,
Noel Clarke,
(hey thats me!) Marion Arthur there are more, I will remember them and complete this section soon.

Alan Carmichael was also a budding magician, he did tours with "Raveen"
around northern NSW and I believe southern Queensland. In fact I recently caught up
with Alan after many years and he is now a full time magician. So anyone wanting the
services of a top flight magic showman can contact Alan through this site, sent an email
to the webmaster giving your name and telephone number, Alan or his agent will call you.
Alan and Brian Baker aka "Ally" made our touring Radio Ranch shows a fun time for
those appearing on the show and the audience sure had a fun time too. I cannot recall
one show that was not a sellout.
