To the video I'll not respond (it takes my eyes away from what I'm doing). To the music I'll respond. I was in High School & the 50s music was great but then there was the Russians with their "Sputnick (spelling). We needed something new to say that we had not lost the race -- espically space! Then there was the "Ventures," & this wonderful Instrumental called "Telstar." Oh! there were other greats -- but when you are 17/18 teen, Somethings Remain -- Forever!

I absolutely LOVE those harp arpeggios during the guitar chorus--they really paint the picture of "celestial"....this blew my mind when I was 12 years old and I first heard this song. Yup--I wore out my 45rpm copy of it!

thanks joe meek for this song
Telstar was the first Telecommunictions Satelite, placed into service late in 1961 or early 62'...
It was a "Big Deal", all over the News, making it possible too Direct Dial, International Calls, without Operator Assistance... Exciting stuff for a "Sci-Fi", "Space Age", "High Tech" addicted 14 year old, looking forward too a Bright Future, without war, a future where Science and Technology could solve all of Mankinds problems... This song just added to the excitement... Boy, was I wrong!

Telstar 1962. A flashback to a time when many earthlings were optimistic about the future. Success and survival is all about optimism. This tune is priceless really.
