From my perspective, this is the year the 1960s truly begins in the Billboard charts. By which I mean we're seeing the staples of the previous decade start to fade in favor for trends that will come to mark this new one, seen with the influx of teen idols, girl groups, and the flood of dance crazes. The Twist charted again this year, two years after its last appearance in the Billboard year-end charts.

Lám megesik néha a környékemen is, hogy nem minden a lehető legpocsékabbul alakul, a változatosság kedvéért van ez gondolom, meg aztán nem túl gyakran. A pípsó persze elmaradt így is, mondani se kell, hogy nem az érdeklődés hiánya volt ennek az oka! Ilyen szerény ünneplésre van mód csak most, mer' nem fér el bennem túl sok kakaó, pedig jó volna még valamennyike, ráfognám én a nyuszira, nem múlna ezen semmi se! Ismertem én egy másik Szonját is különben, akkora mellei voltak, hogy csak nehézgépkezelői engedély birtokában lehetett táncba vinni őket, na ilyenkor ütközik az ki, hogy nem ért az ember fia semmihez. Tűrni és tanulni, nekem jutott az összes igazán fontos az életben! És akkor még erről a lemezről nem is beszéltünk, holott érdemes! Hát az ember ráhangol kicsit, aztán csakhamar megkéri az első útbaeső villanyoszlopnak a kezét, és boldogan élnek amíg a Tiborcz István újat nem telepít a környékre. Minálunk, keresztyénföldén így mennek a mennivalók! Isten áldásával! (1966)

Bernard Stanley ‘Acker’ Bilk (1929-2014) was a jazz clarinettist renowned for for his svelte on stage appearance of goatee, bowler hat and waistcoat designed by his manager to gain him acceptance. ‘Acker’ means ‘friend’ in his native somerset, not only was he only the second english star to top the US charts with ‘Stranger On The Shore’ in 1962 (after Vera Lynn a decade earlier) he was still charting as a guest on Van Morrison’s albums forty years later as you may read here.

I was talking to a young RNZ reporter about cider, she hadn’t heard of Acker Bilk, the clarinetist famous for his hit Stranger on the Shore. Less well known for his interest in cider. Whilst finding her a link I came across a cider song of his. Recorded with Norman Candler Strings, an early form of Phil Spector’s “wall of sound” with lots of strings! I hadn’t heard of them but my parents would have, they were very successful Easy Listening music which was popular in their era. Sadly history can be lost in time over generations 😢. But interestingly I see Shazam an Apple Music discovery app had a remastered version. 😊
