Dec 17, 2011 - Thank you for sending me back to my youth. I loved Perry's Christmas Show. All this clip needs is Frank Gallop saying, "And now Perry sings the inspirational 'Ave Maria.'"

Dec 27, 2011 - If ever there was a man of great faith, it was Perry Como.A wonderful husband, father, singer, Catholic. I have loved him since I was a young girl listening to his records. Rest in the arms of the God we love, Perry.

Feb 6, 2012 -  What you experienced Mr. Long was what the psychologist C.G. Jung called a synchronicity. It wasn't a mere chance encounter but an example of your unconscious arranging and intersecting with an event in temporal time that was very meaningful to you. The emotional meaning is what separates such occurences from mere coincidence. Jung published an essay on the subject with input from Einstein and the Nobel prize winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli. It's a remarkable subject.

Feb 9, 2012 - Hi, thank you for taking your time in sending what i read as a incredible and informed reply.I am going to search for his research and read up on what C G Jung discovered on synchronicity.Thanks for taking your time in sending a reply to my comment on Mr Como's AVA MARIA.Now that the NFL season is over for a few weeks..been buys with my son Kyle and his interview process for college football this fall. He committed to Oregon and is a great fit for the team and Kyle.

Feb 12, 2012 - Hope your son excels at Oregon but we're Cal fans here in Antioch. I usually attend only one game a year, either Oregon or Oregon St.

Mar 10, 2012 - I remember his Christmas specials. I looked forward to him singing this song. How lovely and how much fun to decorate our tree while watching his program. It makes me miss those days and the days when TV programing was family oriented. My mom loved him too. There were five of us girls and everyone of us adored this lovely gentle man.

HowieMLong75 Says:

Apr 15, 2012 - thanks and Kyle thanks U as well.its about time Kyle got his 'shit together'.took him awhile, but I believe he is mentally ready to be Kyle Long, vs Kyle Long the pain in the butt.Kyle is so friggen talented.he will run circles around Chris...and has Long ago ran circles around me...but has light years to go to run circles around his mother.Its our constant prayer Kyle learn humility 4 God Blessed him with excess talents n at 14 it went to his head n@21 he ie now getting the why.

May 18, 2012 - Perry Como (May 18, 1912 -- May 12, 2001) was an American singer and TV personality. During a career spanning more than half a century he recorded exclusively for the RCA Victor label after signing with them in 1943. Como was seen weekly on television from 1949 to 1963, then continued hosting the Kraft Music Hall variety program on a monthly basis until 1967.While his performance of Ave Maria was a tradition of his holiday television programs, Como refused to sing it at live performances.
