Thursday Theme Song: Instrumental

Mom and I thank Hootin Anni for sponsoring


Normally we post a song with lyrics, which this song has,
but we think Mr. Acker Bilk's instrumental version of 
Strangers on the Shore
is absolutely gorgeous.
It is one of Mom's favorite instrumentals too.
A few of our favorite pictures from this year will be below the
video.  Please click on the video the scroll down for the pictures.....
OR 
Just listen to this beautiful song.









Mom and I thank you all for stopping by today.
Hugs 
Madi and Mom

  6. You are a coolcat mate! Mum has always wanted to play the clarinet like Benny Goodman (perhaps you could take requests and feature his version of "Let's Dance" one week? ;-) ) But Aker ain't bad at all! Deccy x

  10. Oh yes....yes, yes!! I like Boots Randolph's version of this song. And it's funny that you put an instrumental version on this week...I ALMOST did the same. There was a youtube video of someone playing the piano solo of The Morning After, and it was beautiful!!!!

    You two always do a 'bang up job' of it all for a theme song.

  17. I know this was originally written for clarinet but I have an LP with Andy Williams singing it. The instrumental is better. Madi you are in great shape.

  20. Madi, you and your mom just posted my favorite piece of music. It first came out when I was in high school, and I immediately found myself a clarinet player to date, so he could play it for me. True story.
    Another true story: In August, 1996, I was visiting England with my family when a hard rain hit. We ran into the nearest pub (there's always a pub nearby in England) to have a warm drink and stay dry. On the wall was a poster advertising "Coming in October: Acker Bilk" so I just told my parents and brothers and sisters-in-law, "I'll be staying here until October." Unfortunately, I couldn't do that, because I had two cats at home with a house-sitter, but for a minute or two it was a difficult decision: Mr. Acker Bilk or my cats? Cats or Acker Bilk? Needless to say, the cats won.
