1962, Stranger on the Shore....hmmmm.....I was all of four years old Karona
but it sounds like something worth listening to. I was singing the Beatles'
"Michelle" from memory circa 1966 ( "French" and
all) so who knows, I may have heard it and been too young to really listen
to it. I was more into voice at that age and had no concept of clarinet at
that time. Is the recording still available (anybody)?
