Beyond legend, the man was a musical god, probably the last of the great songwriters that dominated music pre the 1970's

Jim Lewis, the puppeteer from the Buck Shot Show. Voice of Benny the Bear and so many other characters.

Also an accomplished musician, who was a part of the local music scene for decades.

My little brother was on the Buckshot Show for his birthday way back in 1980 and I remember sending in drawings to the show in the mid 70s.

Loved that show, and Benny the Bear was my favourite.

Rest in peace Jim.
