Strange Idea.... set in the Old West?

There are also two novels, by Mark Sumner, that take place in an old west where magic is prevalent. They are called Devil's Tower, and Devil's Engine.
What about someone who can do magic via bagpipes? ;D

Mike Carey's character uses music via a tin whistle to do exorcism magic in his book "The Devil You Know."
As for the Supernatural TV show western, I think that would be awesome. I'd definitely tune in.

Everything has been done. Every Idea is just like this other thing that someone else did. World of warcraft is just like D&D but online and with more people.
I think it is an awesome idea, and I don't mean awesome like "Dude....awesome." I mean an idea that inspires awe. Granted you are approaching a audience predisposed to look favorably on your idea, but it seems to me that you have a fair ammount of possitive feedback already. Just don't screw up the "...authentic frontier gibberish." :)
So I am with this guy.

Erm... what? WoW is just like D&D in the way that the Starship Troopers movie was just like the Starship Troopers book - i.e., there were a few words in common but absolutely nothing else.

Exactly my point. They both share characteristics in only the most broad sense. Both have elves and magic and uhhhh dragons I think... there may even be a dungeon or 2. Other than that they are drastically different. So if you expand the criteria for "it's already been done" enough, then everything has been done. If no one ever did anything that has "already been done", no one would ever do anything.
See I only said "Everything has been done. Every Idea is just like this other thing that someone else did. World of warcraft is just like D&D but online and with more people." because it's discouraging when you have a great idea and all people do is tell you how your idea is like all these other ideas.
