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!

I can't believe I forgot Zorro! As a very young kid that was a show that I could not get enough of. I had my dad hold the reel to reel recorder up to the tv to tape the theme song for me. A very early memory of mine places me learning to write while that played along-every young kid has that one song that they wore out playing over and over again. I'm gonna say that tape was pretty worn out by the time I was through with it.

There are lots of theme songs lps and cds out there including a boston pops one and two Kunzel on Telarc with Frankie Laine recapping his big ones. Then there are the TVTOONs cds with lots of themes.
One I haven't been able to track down is the original theme to "Rin Tin Tin" which was a march in the style of Sousa. I may never find that one. One story sticks in my mind though. Our parents took us to a Fireman's Rodeo in Saint Louis. The featured act was The Cisco Kid. He had had a filming accident and still rode a horse into the stadium with his neck in a brace. We were still thrilled. As we were leaving the stadium for home my father gave us the usual "If you need to use the restroom do it now before we head home". I entered the closest restroom and before i was finished, a man walked up the the next urinal and when I looked it was Duncan Renaldo. Suffice it to say I was startled enough to end up with my pants and shoes a little spattered; it was a little disconcerting but a great memory!!
