Sitting back on a day off,sucking down beers and ...........

listening to the music in my library.

I got to "Dion" and started to reminisce about him,an Icon and he only has me by "6"yrs...lol.

For those who don't know,Dion is a born again Christian.He became such after he was offered a seat on the plane($65) that eventually crashed,killing:Buddy Holly,Richie Valens and The Big Bopper in '59.

Dion turned down the seat,telling Buddy Holly:"Crap man,the rent on my parent's apartment in the Bronx is $65!,give the seat to "The Bopper".Unfortunately the rest is history.

Please take the time to listen to the two versions of this song to see if you agree with me:

Here's the original version with a 19yr old Dion and The Belmonts singing "I Wonder Why" in '58:

Here's a version of the exact same song sung by a 70yr old Dion,live in '09!!
