Those Old Tv Westerns and their Themes

[1koolcat]

I was born in 1960, so I recall:

- reruns of the old Gene Autry and Roy Rogers westerns, Cisco Kid, Lone Ranger. . .
- Branded
- The Riflemen
- F Troop
- Have Gun, Will Travel (difficult to understand at my tender age)
- Bonanza
- The High Chaparral
- The Virginian
- Gunsmoke (irregular viewer - saw it enough to know who the main characters were)

At an early age I got hooked on TV series theme songs. I used my Dad's mono cassette recorder (c. 1970?) to capture my favorites. (I held the small external microphone up to the B&W Zenith television speaker. I think the High Chaparral and Hawaii 5-0 were my favorite themes around that time.

Great memories invoked by this thread. Thanks!
