Telstar from the Tornadoes came out of England early 60s. I thought it was a pretty cool instrumental.

Yeah, I always liked that recording too, Ron.
And, after doing a little research here, I discovered that The Tornados' Telstar would be only the second "pre-British Invasion" British recording to hit No.1 on the American Top 100 Pop charts, and with only another memorable British instrumental recording preceding it to the top of the American charts in the year 1962...the haunting tune written and performed by British clarinetist Acker Bilk, "Stranger on the Shore".
(...I always loved that recording too)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
