My husband died 10 weeks ago today, this was one of our favorite songs, We did dance on the shore, We loved on the shore, We sailed past Many shores, We lived & love the sea. I will always love you Roger. It has now been just short of FOUR years. The memories such as this are what has carried me through all the sleepless night and the tear filled days. I wouldn't change a thing. He was the best husband I ever could have had. I love you and will join you some day. Thank you for your love. Roger you are my one and only.

This song was always on the radio when I was a kid in the 60,s. Life was happy then even though we had nothing.

On the ship was a live band that played like Big Band music.

In 2020 during covid, my father had the very rare allergic reaction of Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) during an operation. At the time, five chief physicians/surgeons didn’t understand what was was happening. For four weeks he was in intensive care. I was granted to be able to visit him in total of three times. Out of the times, his eyes were open in two scenarios. I played this song for him once while he was “awake”. It was the song I remembered he listened to the most on cassette while driving with me as a child. I never got to asked him what other music/tracks he liked. I’m glad he got to show me this and that I got to played it for him one last time.

This song has a beautiful memory for me. I had a raging crush on a boy named Paul. He was a new student and the minute I saw him I was "in love". We were 8th graders so it was puppy love. This song was playing at an 8th grade dance and Paul walked straight to me and asked me to dance. I'm 74 and still cherish that memory. Sometimes one single moment in time can become a moment to remember.

One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard ❤️

Played this wonderful song at my dad's funeral on october 2013 as his coffin left the Church, great memories,

This was my mom and dad's wedding song when they got married in '69. Mom passed away 10 years ago, but this song brings me some calm when I need it and I can't call my dad and stepmom because it's late.

This is a beautiful song that I play at the cemetery for funerals.

blows you away, he is still the greatest

This is *the* song that inspired me, at the age of eight, to take up the recorder, and later the clarinet. Thank you forever, Mr. Acker Bilk.

I am still amazed by how this song always takes me into a higher world.

I must say Stranger on the Shore is the greatest music EVER for the clarinet. Plus the string arrangements and recording quality are unsurpassable! As a musician myself been listening to this masterpiece for 60 some years and is spellbinding, especially on 45 rpm record. Mesmerizing every time.

Nicholas, another lifetime musician here. Totally agree with you. This recording is probably one of the best ever. Are you familiar with Mantovani and his orchestra? If not, I highly recommend. Also, ever heard a Wersi Scala played? I love to hear them played by someone really talented, and there are some good recordings on KZread.

This one is beautiful, so peaceful and sweet sounding. Acker Bilk was such a good clarinet player really. And so 57 years after it was released, it is still a good melody to hear and enjoy.

When I was a lot younger I thought the clarinet was a rather screechy instrument then I heard Acker Bilk play this and it turns out that in his hands it is one of the most beautiful sounds of all, truly one of the greatest talents he is greatly missed.

Hearing this today was a blessing from God. It reminds me so much of my dad. I have sat and listened and cried several times through. My dad could whistle this song and sound just like the clarinet! I grew up attending world war 2 reunions with him and I can't count the times I sat around tables with some of the greatest heroes in history listening to their stories while a live Big Band played this song. It is the soundtrack of a generation that has vanished into the past and when it plays I see them laugh and smile and dance again.

Haunting ... For the better

When my wife Carol was alive, we were watching a classical music concert on TV -- back when they used to broadcast those -- and they were playing a clarinet concerto. Carol played the clarinet in her high-school band. She said, "Honey, if I had known that there was serious music for the clarinet, I would have taken it more seriously." Remembering that conversation, I wish that I had had this record available so she could hear what Acker Bilk did with the clarinet. The low-register notes on his clarinet absolutely dissolve me.

+Old Dominion Viking swab Thanks for the kind thoughts. Also thanks for reminding me of Henry Cuesta. I don't watch Lawrence Welk anymore, and I forgot about him. I don't know; maybe the clarinet doesn't have the right sound for pop or rock; indeed the only song I can think of in rock-and-roll's history where the clarinet even made itself known was Acker Bilk's recording. And it will never appear in today's "music," if you can even call that music And yes, Carol and I had the same tastes in music. We were die-hard classical music lovers!

+Old Dominion Viking swab Maybe 25 years ago, I heard the mantra of the modern musician: If you can't play good, at least play loud! That goes for singers also: If you can't sing, then do so loud. And I agree about KZread. I just put together a huge collection of my favorite songs from 1942 ( my birth year) through 1970. There are a few songs after 1970 that I like, but not many. But there was a lot of great stuff in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. Have a great day.
