I used to love the instrumentals, like The Happy Organ on Clock Records. My Dad must have liked it and Topsy, by Mr. Cole. I truly believe you comprehend by sound and music is sound, so even though you can't speak, you'll remember what you hear, years later, if it has some pattern to it! Hey, how about the instrumental "Wheels"? Forget the artist! We (Dad) had that 45, too!

** Double figures? Even though my back and cold are killing me, I'm sort of feeling young now. Right! :-)

I'll have to look up the Holly version. May have it.

Thanks.

Best,
John
