That's the tune I've practiced on my clarinet in order to learn how to play it. Excellent tune. Acker was from Winford, which is just outside of Bristol, my home town. Did you know that Adge Cutler was Acker's road manager?

By the way, Acker and Adge both mean 'mate' or 'friend' in Bristolese.

In case you don't know who Adge Cutler was, he had a group called the Wurzels, and they did a lot of songs about Bristol and the surrounding towns/villages, and all in the local Bristolian accent and patois. For instance, I used to sing one of his songs called, "Thee's got'n wur thee cassn't back'n 'assn't". Which means in English, "You've got it where you can't reverse it haven't you".

I was 9 years old when I saw Gene Krupa on Ed Sullivan, knowing nothing
about drumming, this man caught my attention in a big way.
