Hi, Folks -
From back in the days when the theme music was an important part of the TV 'viewing experience':
"Route 66" was a CBS show that ran from 1960 through 1964, in which two young men traveled the country in a Corvette, following Route 66 - and each week, drama ensued. :)
Here's the wonderful theme Nelson Riddle wrote for that show. It became a pop hit at the time (and is still worth listening to today :).
Thanks to YouTuber hankgwe.
