"Stranger on the Shore" is a piece for clarinet written by Acker Bilk for his young daughter and originally named "Jenny" after her. It was subsequently used as the theme tune of a BBC TV drama serial for young people entitled Stranger on the Shore. Real Name: Bernard Bilk Birth Date: 28th January 1929 Birth Place:Pensford Somerset Bilk earned the nickname Acker from the Somerset slang for friend or 'mate'. His parents tried to have him learn the piano, but Bilk as a boy found it restricting upon his love of outdoor activities including football (soccer). He also lost two front teeth in a school fight and half a finger in a sledging accident, both of which Bilk has claimed impacted his eventual clarinet style. He eventually learned the clarinet while serving in the British Army, and by the mid-1950s he was playing professionally.Bilk has been described as "Great Master of the Clarinet"Here I stand, watching the tide go outSo all alone and blueJust dreaming dreams of youI watched your shipAs it sailed out to seaTaking all my dreamsAnd taking all of meThe sighing of the wavesThe wailing of the windThe tears in my eyes burnPleading, "My love, return"Why, oh, why must I go on like this?Shall I just be a lonelyStranger on the Shore?The sighing of the wavesThe wailing of the windThe tears in my eyes burnPleading, "My love, return"Why, oh, why must I go on like this?Shall I just be a lonelyStranger on the shore?Words by Robert Mellin
