1988, Ron Barge and his band performing "16 Chickens and Tambourine" at a stampede breakfast, Calgary, AB
An admittedly very local video. To those in the know, Ron Barge
The Buck Shot Show was a local children's television series that aired on CFCN Television in Calgary, Alberta, Canada from 1967 to 1997. From 1967 to 1992 it was a daily program, airing at noon. From 1992 to 1997 it aired Saturday and Sunday mornings. At the time of its cancellation it was the longest-running children's TV show in Canadian history.
The show's host, the avuncular, cowboy-hatted Buck Shot, was played by Calgary entertainer Ron Barge. Other characters included Benny the Bear, Clyde the Owl and Farley, all performed by puppeteers Jim Lewis and Phil Gordon-Cooper.
The theme music for the series was "The Elephant Never Forgets", a playful version of Beethoven's "Turkish March" from 1970 composed by electronic music pioneer Jean-Jacques Perrey.
Ron Barge has had a wonderful and positive influence on tens of thousands of Calgarians during his career, including me.
