Adriaan van Toor was born on the 30th of October 1942 as the younger
brother of Bas van Toor. His brother persuaded him to join the circus.
In 1959 they worked with the circustheater where they developed acts
under the names: "The Melton Brothers" and "The Crocksons". Under that
last name, they also recorded some songs. Rudi Carrel asked them to
write material for "Pipo de clown" and they also performed on a tour
for the "Nederlandse Spoorwegen met Willeke Alberti en Fred Kaps". In
1975 they went to the Dutch producer Joop van den Ende with the idea to
create a television program for children. They eventually stopped
working with Joop van den Ende, but they continued their very successful
program under the name: "Bassie en Adriaan".
