Subject: Bonanza theme song heard on 1230 AM radio

While doing work in the kitchen, I heard a commercial on the local radio and the theme song was played to accompany it! It repeated itself, too.

Johnny Ringo (1850-1882) - Stories vary as to Ringo's real name, but he was known to have grown up in a good family, was well receiving a good education including attending college in Missouri. He earned a deadly reputation from numerous gunfights in Texas, New Mexico before moving on to Arizona around 1879.



A known cattle rustler and a deadly gunfighter, Ringo wasted no time in hooking up with the Clanton Gang, a group of outlaws commonly known as the "Cowboys" around Tombstone. Ringo himself was called "the King of the Cowboys."



Though he was a known antagonist of Wyatt Earp heavily involved with the Clantons, he was not a participant in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.

In 1882, Ringo was found dead with a bullet in his brain. Though his death was ruled as a suicide, his gun was discovered fully loaded, and most believed it to be murder, some say by either Wyatt Earp or Doc Holliday. Ringo is buried a few yards from the tree where his body was found. The grave is located on a ranch southeast of Willcox, Arizona, owned by the Sanders family

Ringo was a number one hit for Lorne Greene in 1964 (the same year The Beatles, with drummer Ringo, came to the USA). The song may have been about outlaw Johnny Ringo.

I also like the Johnny Cash version of the Bonanza theme, even though he changed the lyrics.
