I could listen to this all day. Reminds me of beautiful summer evenings.

Dad used to play this on clarinet, not as well as Acker, but would give all to hear him play it again. He died 18.10.2022, sleep well dad

Bless. Was my mam's favourite when she was alive

1961 I was just 11 and this was a captivating piece of music and there were more instrumentals in those days, unforgettable days and this like so many others takes me back to childhood days.

oui notre enfance !magnifique ....

My mam loved this piece when she was alive. Played it at her funeral. Always reminds me of her x

This was my wedding song back in 1971. It would seem strange a NYC 21 year old would choose this, but it is a wonderful musical piece. I listen to it often.

one of my local heroes lived just up the road from me. My uncle was his road manager. Story goes they when to Spain for a show turn up at the hotel and my uncle had not booked to rooms. great sound.

Thank you for this REACT. My dad played clarinet in a Dixieland Jazz band in his younger years. Naturally, I grew up loving the sound of a clarinet. The record sounds just like a clarinet sounds. The technology makes the music that much clearer and that much more beautiful. Thanks again!

Ack was my uncle, many happy memories, but to you your dad playing it was just as special.

The name Acker is a old English term for "friend" as in "hello me old Acker"
