Acker Bilk, born Bernard Stanley Bilk in Somerset, England has been described as "Great Master of the Clarinet" This was the first song by a British artist to top the US charts. Believe it or not Acker's music has been enjoyed in Outer Space. A cassette belonging to Gene Cernan was flown around the moon in Apollo10. Bilk took up the clarinet in the UK Royal Army in 1958, in a band he formed called the Paramount Jazz Band. It's an instrumental song featuring Bilk's clarinet. As far as I know Acker Bilk is still alive today at the ripe old age of 82. God bless you and keep you safe Acker. Your music will live on forever.




(Btw, Apollo 10 was the "first manned flight" of the lunar module around the moon. Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 & 17 all landed on the moon. Apollo 13 moon landing was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded on board. The Apollo 18-20 missions were cancelled due to lack of funds. Unfortunately, all three crew members of Apollo 1 died in a training accident. http://www.funtrivia.com/en/subtopics/They-Didnt-Walk-on-the-Moon-313260.html


Stranger On The Shore was originally named "Jenny" (after his daughter) on his LP Sentimental Journey, the song's name was changed when Bilk played it as the theme song for a new children's TV show, Stranger On The Shore. The show, which aired on the BBC was about a French "Au Pair" girl living in England; she was the Stranger On The Shore. The closing credits of the film were of her standing on the beach looking out to sea, towards France. (thanks to Anne Wade - Glasgow, Scotland for providing that info). Bilk wrote Stranger On The Shore in a taxicab.

Here I stand, watching the tide go out
So all alone and blue
Just dreaming dreams of you

I watched your ship
As it sailed out to sea
Taking all my dreams
And taking all of me

The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"

Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely
Stranger on the Shore?

The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely
Stranger on the shore?

I wonder if the Crew members of Apollo 18-20 that was supposedly"CANCELLED"are still alive?Probably not but God Bless'em or Their Souls.Unfortunately the Government's Misinformation Campaign hit a really High Gear lately.But they have been lying so much over the yrs that they making more & more mistakes covering those lies lol.We will have Disclosure very very soon mark my words.People are waking up and there r more sightings every day around the world.Many countries Disclosed already!

@peacetrain60 - Thank you! I made this video for my own enjoyment & didn't know others would enjoy this video it too. Something about this song that is so captivating and beyond my ability to describe. It's the same with Louis B. Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World," & many other tunes from the past. It doesn't matter what year a person was born, nationality, or gender you are, once you hear "Stranger On the Shore" it awakens forgotten memories, dreams and lost loves from the past.

This music brings tears to my weary eyes.
