Very well executed. My wife, who is usually indifferent when it comes to steel on the web, called out from another room..."who is that? I like that one, it's relaxing and pretty."

Doug as always a great job on a great tune ! Back in the 60s I bought the album that contained this tune...I was a projectionist at the local theatre and we had a "short reel" of Acker Bilk playing a lot of tunes...kind of a pre music video if you will...the managers wife made us stop showing it because she felt the dancing girls were too suggestively dressed !
BTW, shes a little strange on the sea, but even "Stranger on the Shore"

Thanks Larry, I was 11 years old when this song was hit and I remember hearing it on my little transistor radio! Brings back a lot of memories. I was just becoming aware of pop music, guitar, hot rods, and girls... Acker played the song with extreme vibrato and feeling, and I tried to emulate that in my version... mostly single notes, as he played on the clarinet of course, with a fair amount of vibrato. The song was #1 in the USA and #2 in the UK in 1961. Those were the days when instrumentals were appreciated and became pop hits.

| I was 10 years old when I heard that song in my Grandmothers kitchen on the radio. The melody never left me but for 40 years I never heard the tune again and couldn't remember the title. When I started playing acoustic lap steel 12 years ago it popped up on some station and I immediately got a copy of the sheet music and that was the first song I played in public on my Oahu. Great job. |
