Beautiful Star's Papa

RIP Joseph Alvis Aiken, beloved grandfather ("Papa") of Clay Aiken.

This is the montage I made after the 2005 Christmas tour, when Clay sang a bluegrass Christmas carol especially for Papa. Clay wrote in his book "Learning To Sing" that one of his favorite childhood memories was listening to the Grand Ole Opry on the radio.

"Papa's Beautiful Star" includes both the passage from the book and Clay's special Christmas gift to Papa.

hossa, thank you for your wonderful montage of Beautiful Star. It's the chosen video on many blogs right now, including mine. It's a long time favourite all year round.
