A Son of the Rock

I had been meaning to post more of my elder brothers early 60s singles (see my Friday on my Mind category nos. 53-56) in this slot anyway but the news of Acker Bilk’s death tipped my hand towards the only one of Acker’s records he bought. Not Bilk’s signature tune, Stranger on the Shore, but the much jazzier Buona Sera.

Acker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz Band: Buona Sera

Bernard Stanley “Acker” Bilk: 28/1/1929 – 2/11/2014. So it goes.
