Oh, here's a whole box full of caps.

We're going to need some more gloves

If we're going to have teams.

And we'll need more players too.

Maybe barney will play.

[Twinkling]

So do we have everything we need

For a game of baseball?

Yeah, except for some team captains.

I want to be one.

Me too; me too.

So do i. Ooh.

Hold on; we can't all be team captains.

That's right, tracy.

So what will we do?

Well, who was the captain last time?

Mm, I think I was.

Yeah, I think I was too.

You can take turns.

If you were a captain last time,

Someone else can be a captain this time.

(Kids) that's a great idea; oh, cool; yeah.

Whatever game you're playing,

It's always best to take turns.

[Kids laughing]

Okay, so we'll take turns being captains of the teams.

Yeah. Right.

But whose turn is it this time?

(B.j.) Heya, guys!

Hi, everybody. Hi, everybody.

Whatcha-doodley-doin'?

Oh, hi; we're going to play baseball.

Would you like to play too?

Oh, I want to play; I want to play.

Who hasn't had a turn to be captain yet?

I've been captain lots of times.

Well, I want to be one.

I was never a captain before,

But I'm sure I'll be a good one!

[Laughter]

Super-dee-duper!

If baby bop's a captain,

That means we just need one more.

What about riff?

Well, I'm not really that great at baseball, so...

Come on, riff, my man, you'd be an awesome captain.

Yeah, there's nothing to it.

You just have to be in charge of your team.

And tell them what to do.

I don't think I'm right for the job.

I'll wait over here

While you guys pick someone else.

Aw, come on, riff.

Yeah, you can do it.

I don't think riff wants to be a captain today.

Yeah, that's right, but maybe next time,

Or the time after that, or maybe...never.

[Chuckles]

This reminds me of something that happened

To your great-great-grandfather.

My great-great-grandfather?

Uh-huh, that's your grandfather's grandfather.

He became one of the greatest heroes

In the whole wild west.

Oh, how did he get to be a hero?

Well, like lots of heroes, he helped people.

Would you like to hear his story?

I sure would.

Hey, everybody, barney's going to tell

The story of my great-great-grandfather riffle.

Oh, that's right.

(All) yeah! Oh, yeah, I want to hear that.

Okay, I'll tell the story of a hero brave.

It was music he loved and music he saved.

Wow.

[Country and western music]

It happened long ago and far away

In the old wild west one summer day.

[Horse hooves clip-clopping]

Now, riffle liked to sing, and he liked to rhyme.

He brought music to the west one song at a time.

Howdy, partner.

I sure like your banjo.

[Laughter]

Come on, let's go find out if this town has a piano.

[Chuckles] whoa.

Yee-haw!

Look at him ride like the wind.

A pony can be a very good friend.

Have you ever been on a pony before?

And he looked for a piano that he could play.

Whoa, nellie.

h*-h*, you stay right here awhile, nellie.

I'm gonna see if I can find that piano.

[Country guitar riff]

Howdy, ma'am.

My name's riffle.

Oh, hello, there.

Nice to meet you, riffle.

I'm the teacher, schoolmarm taylor.

Huh, well, I'm a piano player.

Mm.

[Sighs]

Oh, uh, is something wrong, ma'am?

Um, yes.

I mean no.

I mean...i don't know.

My students at the school really like to sing.

Well, that's great.

I like to sing too.

But they can't, because of...

Her.

Remember, nobody sings

Except me.

[Gasps] who's that?

That's bossy bop.

She won't let anybody sing except her.

Well--i mean--well...

Uhh, uh, she can't stop people from singing.

It's just not right.

Well, sometimes she's not very nice.

Not very nice?

Well--well-- hey, a piano.

[Plays piano trill]

Hmm, will you please call your students for me?

Okay.

Students, come here, please.

[Banjo music]

(Riff) come on.

Students, this is riffle.

Hi, sir. Howdy, riffle.

These are my students.

Howdy, children.

Your teacher here tells me bossy bop

Doesn't want you to sing.

Yes, sir; that's right.

And we really like to sing.

Well, we've just got to do something about this.

But what can we do?

No one's been able to sing in this town

For a long, long time.

Oh, riffle thought for a while

And scratched his head.

Then he turned to the teacher, and here's what he said.

Don't worry at all about bossy miss bop.

Music is something that...

[Plays piano chord]

No one can stop.

Yeah, thanks, riffle.

Oh, no need for thanks.

One song at a time.

[Banjo flourish]

But riffle didn't know that right about then,

Bossy bop was a-ridin' in.

Miss bossy bop, she don't like it.

Oh, yeah, I've heard about her.

Yeah, heard about her. Yeah, well, uh...

She could be in here anywhere, anytime.

Are you looking for something, sheriff?

Oh, as a matter of fact, I am.

I'm looking for a new sheriff,

And you're him! What?

Yahoo!

What news?

Bossy bop is in town.

What should we do?

[Laughs]

Well, folks, if I were you,

I'd skee-daddle.

Run!

Hey, come back.

Where's everybody going?

Mr. Riffle, you're the sheriff now.

Looks like you got to stop her.

Ya-hah!

B-b-but, i-i don't want to be sheriff.

Oh...

Head for the hills!

Whoa, is everything all right, mister...

Back to where I came from.

It's too hard to be sheriff.

I'm not good at it.

In fact, I can't even do it at all.

Oh, I'm sure you can if you don't give up.

And why not?

Because singing loudly isn't what makes a song sound pretty.
