A new plaque on the corner ... and there I was face to face with an Oscar winner , Richard Hageman , who got it for the music for "Stagecoach" .
Altogether carried away by this unexpected brush with fame on a wet Thursday afternoon , I swapped my Tardis for a dash through the Badlands .
And only realised when I got home that , actually , I was humming Annie Oakley's " Whip , Crack Away " instead . Did John Wayne and Doris Day ever share a screen ?

It's a SIGN! Both literally and figuratively, I suppose.
Deadwood Stage. Stagecoach. Near enough.
They must have done even if it were never captured on celluloid. I want to watch Rio Bravo again. It always used to be Sunday afternoon westerns or musicals when I was a little girl.
Even in childhood, I couldn't abide Doris Day. Now, at Seniors' Lunch, I had to plead not to have her CDs played! Instead, we listen to Sixties compilations; everyone seems to enjoy those!
