Little Star



Little Star was first recorded by the Elegants in 1958 and written by two members of the group. The music was adapted from "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I think most members of that group are still alive. Dion recorded the same song in 1993, which is the song I used in this video. Dion had 39 Top 40 hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s as a solo performer, with the Belmonts or with the Del Satins. I best remember him for the singles "Runaround Sue", and "The Wanderer", among his other hits.

Billy turns 5 next month and Its been almost a year since I made a video of him. Most of these photos were taken by his mom in the last year. I think I have 9 other videos of him and I think this is my 231st video posted on you tube that I have made as a hobby. My computer files show 11 Christmas videos, 14 of Dennis, 19 of Dennis/Janice, 12 of DuCette's, 46 of grandkids, 28 of Hendricks, 11 of Janice, 35 of Misc, 9 of safety, 26 of vacations, and 40 of work. Most of them can be found under label categories on the left side of this blog. Some do not want their pictures taken, and the hardest part is finding a song I have not used yet. Not everyone enjoys my style of music but I do not know of a grandpa who does not think his own grandchild is "The Star"
