This is my debut Shining Star Award going to the band Big Star.
I have decided to create a new Doyle’s Space: Music Hall of Fame award known as the Shining Star Award. It will be awarded to bands/artists that I love, that may not as be well known, maybe from smaller musical markets, with catalogs not as deep as some of other artists such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Michael Jackson, or Prince.
Using a wand with a small magnetic tip at the end, a user could move the magnetite whisker material around Wooly Willy, giving him anything from bangs to beards to bowties.
Wooly Willy is a toy in which metal filings are moved about with a magnetic wand to add features to a cartoon face. In Smethport, Pennsylvania, in McKean County, near the New York border, there is a small auto parts store, tucked away on Fulton Street one-half block off Main. This used to be a toy factory, and it was the birthplace of Smethport’s most beloved citizen—an international icon whose fiftieth birthday Smethport celebrated in 2005: Wooly Willy.
