I have been looking to listen to Jerry Byrd's, "Stranger On the Shore". Can't find it on YOUTube. If someone has it can you give me an address where I can click on it? Thanks

Beautiful! I have to dig out that LP and give it another listen.  That bridge! The master at work.

Thank you Marc for posting the whole album. I knew it was on the album and almost bought it on Amazon for 20.00 because it was in excellent condition. Now I can listen to the whole album thanks to you. John Ely asked me if I had heard of Jerry's, Stranger on the Shore rendition, now I can tell him, ya, you, betcha! And the bridge is absolutely exotifying, hows that for a discription Bob?

In case anyone's interested, 'Stranger On The Shore' was originally recorded by English jazz clarinet player Acker Bilk (RIP). It reached number one in the UK charts in 1962, and also number one in the US Billboard charts ...the first UK artist ever to achieve that!
Acker (a Somerset nickname for 'friend') was born a few miles from my home near Bristol, UK, and died in Bath in 2014
If you get a chance to listen to the original recording, please do... it's a wonderful tune, superbly played. |

I purchased that vinyl album back in the 60s...it is a recording of 12 songs superbly played by Mr. Acker Bilk...I still have that record and converted it to my mp3 player and listen to it often to this day.. I have a trio and a lady clarinet player does that song...I also recall that as I was a projectionist at a local theatre in the 60s, we had a short reel of Acker playing all of those songs...our manager made us stop playing that reel because there was a belly-dancer in one of the songs...heaven forbid !! But my how times have changed...thats tame compared to what you see on the screen these days ! (it was tame for those days too, but I lived in the bible belt)

Thanks for reminding me about Acker Bilk, I grew up also early 60's and loved his clarinet playing on that beautiful song. Just listened to it again....memories!
