I'm going to be traveling starting tomorrow so after today  I won't be around for the next week or so. 

Try not to burn the place down while I'm gone. 

The only other song besides Telstar I remember from that collection is Knock Three Times (1970).

There was a Vietnam War war protest song but I can't remember what it was. It's odd, but I pretty much floated through the Vietnam War era in a bubble of my parents' making. I would've been 15 when it ended but my mom especially had us so socially sequestered that I can't say I had the same awareness that other young teens my age would've had.

Okay here's mine, one of my all-too-frequent odd coincidences: I was just remembering the other day my older sister's (by 8 years) boyfriend's music collection - this would've been roughly 1970, when I was 10 years old. I don't know why that memory popped into my head, but the song was Telstar. Literally just a couple days later, at the county fair this weekend, there was a quite good oldies band playing, and they started playing Telstar... it was like I was a kid again, sitting on the floor of my sister's bedroom, going through all those (wait for it...)

8-track tapes...





But it's so strange to remember that rather random song and then hear it playing just days later...
