Stranger on the Shore - Acker Bilk



I've been meaning to put up this tune for a long time now; it's one of my favorite songs.

The reason I just remembered it was because of today's post on the Word of the Day, "bilk". I looked at my mp3 version and decided to alter the tag because the artist wasn't credited in it. I then noticed the genre tag was "negerpunk" and had to go look it up.

They don't make music like they used to, do they? This is one I rarely even hear on the oldies radio stations. Thanks for sharing this song with us.

Oh my dad used to listen to a lot of his music when I was young and I think we all went to see him live at one time years back. Great musician and I think I appreicate it more now than when I was younger , nice post.

I used to be friends with a young lady in the UK; quite a bit younger than me, but she knew this song.

It's lovely.

Thanks for posting!
