MY 50 TOP TV THEME TUNES! #45

Number 45: Wagon Train
I chose this theme tune because it was the first and, to this day, only thing I ever learned to play on the piano. Taught myself, all on the black keys. It’s the first season theme (there were several others) and was written by Henri René and Bob Russell. I don’t remember much about the series and I don’t know much about René and Russell, although Wikipedia tells me the former made an album called “Music for Bachelors” and the latter later wrote the lyric to “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” for The Hollies (a song I have never liked).
