Subject: RE: Obit: Acker Bilk (1929-2014)
Favourite memory - In a Persian Garden - an early sort of video on a new juke box in our local Labour Club. Saw it again some years ago on TV.
Stranger on the shore is, I think, one of the most haunting melodies of recent time. Yes it does have words which begin
Here I Stand and watch the ships go out
So alone and blue
A stranger on the shore.
Anyone have the rest?
