Weekend Theme Music
We're going waaay back to revive three of the most memorable (to us) early television theme songs (that we haven't already played) -- you know, back when networks were actually airing tons of scripted series: the themes from "Mr. Lucky," which ran from 1959-60; "Dr. Kildare," 1961-66); and "Route 66," 1960-64.
"Mr. Lucky" (composer Henry Mancini)
"Dr. Kildare" (Jerry Goldsmith)
"Route 66" (Nelson Riddle)

I particularly enjoyed the Dr. Kildare piece. I can just see Richard Chamberlain, and it could have been written for Thornbirds as well, as it is so sweeping, romantic and poignant. What a weekend treat! P.E.C.
ReplyDeleteP.E.C. -- glad you enjoyed! That piece also brings back memories for "the boys."
