Hi Bernie and Gang, Thanks for the reminder. 50 yrs. already, wow!
Speaking of passing time, 2007 marks the 40th anniv. of "Strawberry
Fields" snd "Nights In White Satin." Huda thunk it ?
And 35 years since "Watcher Of The Skies" and "Close To the Edge"
was released.
...RE: "Telstar" music, Tom Doncourt of "Cathedral" played
a great rendition
of Joe Meek's tune on my MK-I here at the M-Ranch , during MONEYPIT Aug-2007.
I think he used the Lowry Organ sound on Sta-5. Help refresh my memory on this,
if I'm in error (most likely) .
Finally, a REAL backup Telstar satellite was once on display in the lobby
of Lucent/Bell Labs in Murray Hill,NJ. Was there in 2002, hopefully wasn't
sold on eBay or sumpin' like that .
