   Now when the West was very young   
   There lived a man named Masterson   
   He wore a cane and derby hat   
   His name was Bat, Bat Masterson   
      
   That always bugged me, even as a kid. You don't wear a cane, it's an   
   accessory.

   Also a favorite - Gunsmoke, Have Gun, Will Travel (the Ballad of   
   Palladin), and Bonanza. TV Westerns had a lot of good themes.
