I keep hearing the tune lately. Do I remember right that it was originall the theme tune to a short lived TV series about an aupair living with a middle class family, or maybe even a soap ?
 
Fatfingers i remember it as that as well it always started off with the girl walking along the beach. Dek
 
HI FATFINGER
THE GREAT ACKERBILK THEME TUNE COMES TO MY MIND WHOM PLAYED THE TUNE
STRANGER ON THE SHORE WAS HIS BIG HIT ;
STROLL ALONG WITH ACKER . GREAT MUSICIAN ;
HAVE A NICE DAY . BEST WISHES Astonian ;;
 
If I remember correctly it was screened on a Sunday teatime. Space patrol, a terrible Sci-Fi program using marionettes with visible strings, was on before or after it . In those days you sat at the table for meals so I ended up with a cricked neck trying to watch the telly.
 
Mister Acker Bilk.
