      Just a couple of corrections, amendments and additions, dear friend - Acker Bilk (not aker), played clarinet not guitar... a more haunting and soulful instrument... Stranger on the Shore was a British television drama serial first broadcast by the BBC in 1961. It was written by Sheila Hodgson, and produced and directed by Kevin Sheldon. The show is described by some as a "children's serial", being shown on Sunday afternoons... Otherwise I totally agree with you...

      @newmoon54 2 года назад +2

      Sorry for your loss,, love is so truly eternal,, there is the beauty of love itself,, God's creation for sure! HE knew what we needed before he made us! Giving us love and joy,, how could evolution establish LOVE within our fleshly beings?? Impossible!!! GOD created this ~~Terrarium with billions of fascinating, miraculous animate and inanimate creatures that live "side-by-side" with us, and help create a truly spectacular world of fascination an wonder!!!!
      The good book, called that for GOOD reason, tells us that GOD has promised, made a solid promise: " And HE will wipe every tear from their (you and me!) eyes! And sickness and death will be NO MORE ... for the former things have passed away! And they shall not (the sad memories of the past!) come up into their minds, or their thoughts!"
      Our loved ones who have passed away, we shall again be reunited with in this life again!!! That is GOD"S solemn promise to us,, and if we will just remember that HE brought us miraculously into this world,,, who, or what,,, could stop HIM from bringing life back once again?!?!?! We must remember,,, HE IS THE CREATOR OF ALL LIFE, AND ALL MATTER,, NOT EVOLUTION! Have faith in the ONE who made you, your family, friends, pets and most dearly ........ your ~Wife~ ~!~ Keep the faith~!~ Sonny.

But listen, I've been working on a great favorite also done by Willie, ' All of Me ' I'd love to hear what you'd come up with on that one. I've been working on the B11th tuning for that. I have a long way to go knowing my way around on the B11th tuning , but this song helps. Again Love the Fender !!

    Great video, really fine playing and sounds wonderful. I'm continually amazed and mind-boggled that Leo Fender and his crew at that small Fender factory in Fullerton were making these instruments way back starting in 1953. In addition to the Telecaster and his other products and visionary new designs, it's truly phenomenal that Leo had such vision and dedication and astounding technical skills, coupled with being a great manager and businessman.

      This is Acker Bilk's 1960 tune " Stranger on the Shore " that he recorded on the Columbia label .... It is played on a clarinet. It was originally written for his daughter Jenny and named Jenny. It was the theme music for a BBC production drama called " Stranger on the Shore " It was released in 1961 under that title and went to Number 1 in the US and Number 2 in the UK ....
