Bob,
I don’t, but I did find this on Wikipedia, “The Gunsmoke radio theme song and later TV theme was titled “Old Trails,” also known as “Boothill.” The Gunsmoke theme was composed by Rex Koury.[34] The original radio version was conducted by Koury. The TV version was thought to have been first conducted by CBS west coast music director Lud Gluskin. The lyrics of the theme, never aired on the radio or television show, were recorded and released by Tex Ritter in 1955. Ritter was backed on that Capitol record by Rex Koury and the radio “Gunsmoke” orchestra.”
