@@tonyexalto8472 Dit is geen SteelPedal Tony, dit is een lap Steel, dus what you see is what you get. Sorry man. Maar ik ben het met je eens dit klinkt schitterend.
Beautifully done ! Acker Bilk would be proud ! Dec 63 - This was the song that my dad played on his clarinette accompanying a recording by Acker when I came back from 18 months overseas in the US Navy. I broke down in tears. Thank you for this beautiful rendition. It brings tears to my eyes !
This brings back childhood memories when my parents were still married, loved one another and slow danced to this on their RCA stereo in the 1970's. If we could only replay time like we can a song....
I believe it goes back a bit further. I recall my mother playing the record in the early 60's and she even tried to get me to play the clarinet (I believe) because of it.
This is Acker Bilk's 1960 tune " Stranger on the Shore " that he recorded on the Columbia label .... It is played on a clarinet. It was originally written for his daughter Jenny and named Jenny. It was the theme music for a BBC production drama called " Stranger on the Shore " It was released in 1961 under that title and went to Number 1 in the US and Number 2 in the UK ....
I was only 14 in 1961 when that came out. Still sounds as great, and brings back so many young teen memories. First real girlfriend, new president in JFK, and music that will last forever.
Just a couple of corrections, amendments and additions, dear friend - Acker Bilk (not aker), played clarinet not guitar... a more haunting and soulful instrument... Stranger on the Shore was a British television drama serial first broadcast by the BBC in 1961. It was written by Sheila Hodgson, and produced and directed by Kevin Sheldon. The show is described by some as a "children's serial", being shown on Sunday afternoons... Otherwise I totally agree with you...
This was favorite melody of my mom who passed away of cancer 24 years ago at the age of 72. And still every time I hear this music she is with me right here. Hope you are in much better world mom, free of physical and mental pain after giving life to and bringing up 7 children while dad was drinking. You deserve it. Now when my own kids are grown and I have grandchildren I can truly appreciate your sacrifices. Much love and deep gratitude for all you have done for us with heartfelt blessings. 🙏🙏🙏
@@Meowbay Don't know what time you experienced because in the 60s, when this came out, almost everyone had proper flush toilets, running water, and deodorant. Sorry if your mileage varied. :(
I COULD LISTEN TO YOU PLAY FOR HOURS. I JUST TURNED 70 AND I'M WAXING MELANCHOLY...SIGH...AND MY SIGHT IS SO POOR THAT I TYPE IN CAPS TO SEE WHAT I'VE WRITTEN, GRRRRR!
I just was praising an expert of experts at fingerstyle guitar playing Just Once thinking I heard the best guitar sounds I could possibly hear! Then I hear this classic STUNNER! Your wonderful playing really takes me back when this tune was a hit! WOW what an incredible instrument in the hands of pro!
My dad was a dance teacher and played Stranger On The Shore, by Mr. Acker Bilk, along with hundreds of other songs, when I was growing up. This one always stuck with me and I whistle it often, You played it wonderfully. Thanks for sharing it.
Makes the hairs on my arms stand up. So beautiful to listen too. You have been given a gift to pass on your music through your hands and fingers. Thank you.
Up above the clouds Acker Bilk has the biggest smile on his face. So, do I. This is one of my favorite tunes and is by far the best version I have heard. Thank you and God bless.
MY brother played the steel guitar since he was 12. He passed away on Feb.27, 2021. He was 76... I miss him greatly and his wonderful music. He played in bands with our dad. My dad played the fiddle. Good 'ole Country Western music. I miss hearing them both play. It was so awesome... 🕯🌹💖
This was a song I connected to the first love of of life. NEVER forgotten or the EMOTION dismissed. Thanks for the memories. They helped me learn and grow mentally and emotionally TO MOVE ON from limited and stagnant viewpoints. MUSIC renews the SOUL 💖💖💖
I've always loved guitar music and steel guitar, especially. The first time that I remember hearing it was when I was delivering newspapers, when I was, about, 11 years old, 64 years ago. Beautiful music!
Hello Doug My husband of only 43 yrs passed Sept this yr(I told him we almost had the new rubbed off..at this point!) God truly made Tommy for me! I loved him so!

Sorry for your loss,, love is so truly eternal,, there is the beauty of love itself,, God's creation for sure! HE knew what we needed before he made us! Giving us love and joy,, how could evolution establish LOVE within our fleshly beings?? Impossible!!! GOD created this ~~Terrarium with billions of fascinating, miraculous animate and inanimate creatures that live "side-by-side" with us, and help create a truly spectacular world of fascination an wonder!!!! The good book, called that for GOOD reason, tells us that GOD has promised, made a solid promise: " And HE will wipe every tear from their (you and me!) eyes! And sickness and death will be NO MORE ... for the former things have passed away! And they shall not (the sad memories of the past!) come up into their minds, or their thoughts!" Our loved ones who have passed away, we shall again be reunited with in this life again!!! That is GOD"S solemn promise to us,, and if we will just remember that HE brought us miraculously into this world,,, who, or what,,, could stop HIM from bringing life back once again?!?!?! We must remember,,, HE IS THE CREATOR OF ALL LIFE, AND ALL MATTER,, NOT EVOLUTION! Have faith in the ONE who made you, your family, friends, pets and most dearly ........ your ~Wife~ ~!~ Keep the faith~!~ Sonny.
I was a freshman in High School 1961 when I first heard this song. One of my many favorite songs to this day. Like the saying goes; "Good Music Never Dies"
Maybe it`s ridiculous when an older guy say " this sound bring tears to my eyes ". But who cares...for me the sound of this steel guitar is wonerful and brings tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you so much for this.
Thank you Sir for this beautiful rendition. My wife and I are from the 90s and thus did not experience the golden age of the steel guitar... But I am happy to have your recording. My wife goes through a lot of pain in the moment, to the extent of being constantly under high tension. But hearing this together with me helps her relaxing immediately. Thank you, Sir!
Me too .my cousin Terence James used to play this on lead guitar in India in the 70’s with his group called The Strangers and it is such a beautiful piece
..l was a 14 year old freshman High school.. I remember dancing as this piece was played..slow drag, with a crush 57- years ago This piece brings memory of a sweet and peaceful time then.. Thank you,well played
Thanks Manfred! I'm glad the song brings back fond memories for you. I was 12 years old when this song was a hit. It brings back nice memories for me too! 😊
One of my all-time favorite songs 🎶 I was 8 or 9 when the original was released. My aunt and uncle built a little cabin on the lake back then and I remember visiting there and playing the 45 record on their stereo over and over. So now when I hear it I remember that lazy summer on the lake with long-gone loved ones. I miss them so much. Thank you, this was lovely.
This song affects me very very much,, because I first heard it right when things were falling apart at home. I have to make a concerted effort to prevent the eyes from watering up, EVERY TIME I hear this! It's of course a truly beautiful reflection of life and love, which is why it's so meaningful!
I've listened to you play so many time Doug, & this amazing redition of this iconic Acker Bilk tune, sends tingles all through me, so so beautiful. xxx
As I've got older I've realised were all strangers on a shore sometimes you meet someone who makes you feel wanted and loved but you know somewhere down the line either one of you is going to leave and your back to being a stranger.... great tune !!!
My dear man sensitivity is not depression nor is missing a loved one listen to this and miss both my father and my son with a tear in my eye that doesn’t mean I’m depressed. It means I miss them and the music in our lives.! God bless your sweetheart for bringing it home for me back to barbecue sitting on the back porch playing guitars not depressed. Just remembering good times.
I had my own band in my native Ireland from age 17 to 33 and during that time I met some brilliant musicians in addition we backed talent competitions doing auditions plus professional entertainers. However this is the best version of 'Stranger on the Shore' I have ever heard
Thanks Eddie! I too remember hearing Acker’s incredible recording coming through my little transistor radio back in the early 60s. The song was a hit here in the USA too. 😎
Brother Dear. You are a true Master who has taken your craft to a whole new level of exquisite perfection and performance 👌. You deserve a standing ovation!!!
I'm now 65 and I have listened to music about all my life and my favorite instruments has always been the steel guitar. I want to thank you for sharing what you do so well with everyone. As the saying goes "it's music to my ears"
I remember the year this came out. I was a child and I heard my Mom tell my Dad how much she loved this song. I remember them dancing together to it in the living room. That was 60 years ago as of this posting date. My Dad is gone now and my Mom will be 93 next month in June. She still loves this song and tears up when she hears it. I too tear up because it brings back such happy childhood memories of her and Dad dancing to it.
Absolutely beautiful I remember when Chet Atkins play that on guitar on an album along time ago I was just a kid but that was one of my moms favorite songs to along with the song called blue tango🎸👍❤️
GORGEOUS. Brings back such memories of when it first hit the airwaves, I wasn't even quite a teenager. Walking on the beach in San Pedro, CA. Beautiful, simple days.
Best steel guitar player I have ever heard. The tune is so surpurbe and easy on the ears. Multiple steel guitar's played at one time that rseonates as a human voice. Just magical. Thank you for sharing.👍👍
Absolutely great version of this classic song. The steel guitar just adds another dimension to this song. I could put it on a loop and listen all day. Outstanding!
What a KNOCK-OUT TONE!!!! It just tickles my ear to no end. I like how the guitar just "sings"; Incredible! Thank you so much!

Love your steel playing, my brother in law used to play the steel , and every time I hear you it reminds me of him. You’re great brother.
Thanks, I'm glad my videos bring back memories for you.
As a teenager, this music sounds richer and more relaxing than what I’m generally used to
Thanks for listening! 😎👍
I love the "vocal" tone you're getting. You can really make that thing sing!
Thanks!

Hello Trisha. How are you doing?
I'm now 65 and I have listened to music about all my life and my favorite instruments has always been the steel guitar. I want to thank you for sharing what you do so well with everyone. As the saying goes "it's music to my ears"
Glad you like it!
I remember the year this came out. I was a child and I heard my Mom tell my Dad how much she loved this song. I remember them dancing together to it in the living room. That was 60 years ago as of this posting date. My Dad is gone now and my Mom will be 93 next month in June. She still loves this song and tears up when she hears it. I too tear up because it brings back such happy childhood memories of her and Dad dancing to it.
I’m glad the song brings back fond memories for you. Thanks for listening 😊
This was one of my dad's favorite songs. This is a beautiful rendition. Thank you for reminding that my dad had good taste in music.
Thanks for listening! I'm glad the song brings back memories for you. 😎
Absolutely beautiful I remember when Chet Atkins play that on guitar on an album along time ago
I was just a kid but that was one of my moms favorite songs to along with the song called blue tango🎸👍❤️
This is one of my favorites too. Brings back a lot of memories.
Born in 62
Just got a 1965 Airline

Cheers to your awesome playing and Instruments
Thanks! Enjoy your lap steel guitar.
GORGEOUS. Brings back such memories of when it first hit the airwaves, I wasn't even quite a teenager. Walking on the beach in San Pedro, CA. Beautiful, simple days.
I too was a tween when this song was a hit on the radio. Great memories.
This song makes me nostalgic for no reason and I love it
😊😊 Thanks for listening!
I can almost hear the words of this song coming from your steel guitar . GREAT JOB .
Thanks! I'm glad you like it 😊
Best steel guitar player I have ever heard. The tune is so surpurbe and easy on the ears. Multiple steel guitar's played at one time that rseonates as a human voice. Just magical. Thank you for sharing.👍👍
Wow, thanks! I'm glad you like it. 😊
This was amazing. One of my favorite old time tunes. I also love Solomon kings song call, “She wears my Ring “ fantastic singer.
Superb! It really reminds me of my late father. He's always humming this tune . . .
