Tommy Hunter In 1956, he began performing as a rhythm guitarist on the CBC Television show, Country Hoedown. The Tommy Hunter Show began as a CBC Radio program in 1960, replacing the long-running variety show The Happy Gang, and went on to replace Country Hoedown on CBC Television in 1965; Hunter's show was picked up by TNN in 1983 and ran on CBC until 1992. Performers on the show included singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot in the early years of his own musical career. Personal aside: On a visit to Canada, I was privileged to be in the audience during one of his CBC telecasts. I spoke with him briefly following, sharing my Country Music experiences with him.
