Trivia

Hit #112 on the Billboard Singles Charts in 1963 with "Little Bird" (Ava 116)

Billed as the "Boy Wonder Accordionist" on the CBS Hobby Lobby show, his name was misprounounced as Pete Jolly rather than his birth name of Peter Ceragioli. He liked the name so much he changed it to his professional musicians name.

He started playing the accordion when he was 3. At age 7, he was on a radio show,"Hobby Lobby", and the announcer mispronounced his surname Ceragioli as "Jolly".
