THE LAWMAN & REAL LAWMEN

and read about Old West marshals, sheriffs and the like, it triggers a tune from my distant Western TV–watching past that sticks in my head even more than an infectious children’s song from my recent baseball TV–watching past. “Baby Shark” was the rallying cry of the Washington Nationals during the 2019 baseball season. Yes, that catchy number nearly did a number on a curmudgeon like me, but all was forgiven when the Nats defied all (1958–1962) is a song for all seasons that keeps echoing in this ancient editor’s brain nearly 60 years after that ABC-TV series went off the air. Truth be known, that’s fine with me.
