Theme: "[Take Me Back To] Tombstone Territory"

    [Vocal lyric begins: "Whistle Me Up A Memory...";

     Verified as the THEME in TV Guide article "When The Melody
     Lingers On..." May 17, 1958, pp. 22-23;

     Bill Backer was a New York advertising jingle writer who wrote
    "Never Borrow Money Needlessly" for Household Finance Corporation;
    "If You've Got The Time, We've Got The Beer" for Miller Beer;
    "Here's To Good Friends" for Michelob; "It's The Real Thing"
     for Coca-Cola; and "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" also
     for Coca-Cola, among others...His simple catchy THEME for this
     western series seems like a folk song, but it is an original tune]
