We know! It looked like we were at the end of the alphabet. Well, when we started updating the A-B-C list, we ran into all sorts of glitches, so we're back there.
In the C's we found that the Perry Como listings needed an update. Enjoy this Historical Music Video, thanks to a YouTuber!

(189) BUDDY HOLLY'S WORDS OF LOVE - THE BEATLES
The Paramount Theatre in New York; big Rock and Roll shows were put on there and they were so exciting! Here's a preserved performance of Buddy Holly and the Crickets doing "Peggy Sue" thanks to a YouTube contributor at the Paramount, and it appears to us that might be Kitty Carlisle doing the introductions with a bevy of prim debutants behind her! Now, earlier in this blog (use the search feature to locate other postings that include Buddy Holly and the Crickets!)I mentioned meeting Buddy in New York and recording myself with the Crickets left behind when Buddy went on the tour that he died in a plane crash in 1959. And we've been saying that before the British Invasion of America the Americans invaded Britain.

So though on our time line here we are still in the very early 1960's let's take a look at some Buddy Holly covers by the Beatles...
And now here's the Beatles...

(90) PERRY COMO - THE MAN IN THE CARDIGAN SWEATER
PERRY COMO OFFICIAL SITE updated April 2014
VIDEO REPLACED April 2014
Perry Como was a singer who recorded on the RCA Victor label starting in 1943 and one of the first television pioneers in the weekly variety show category that was very successful, starting in about 1948. In the 1950's company sponsored television shows (rather than just commercials) were huge, and Christine White and James Dean were just two of the actors in New York who worked in them.
Now, growing up in the Smokey Mountains we listened to a big stand up radio, and when it came to music, well those mountains were - and are - full of people who had musical talent. People taught each other or were self taught. Making music - going to square dances - singing gospel in church - was our way of making our own fun. We never did get a television set. And when we moved to Oregon, we still didn't have a television set. But when I got to New York in 1957, I knew who Perry Como was. By 1955 he had an hour long television show.
In a way, Perry was an inspiration to me as an upstart in the business, even though he was as far from Rockabilly and early Rock and Roll as you could get. He was a crooner, smooth like Bing Crosby, and when I got to New York I had to fashion myself as a performer. Before I got over my shyness and let myself loosen up and move, I wanted to perform natural like Perry, who simply sang, often wearing a cardigan sweater or a neat suit. I thought he was a master of his craft. His professionalism went beyond one's comprehension. Perry had annunciation that was perfect and his delivery was seamless.
Now when you see old videos of the late 1950's and early 1960's sometimes you see black and white and sometimes you see color. Color television was around by 1956 but the number of studios that had the equipment to film in color were few and the number of people who had a color television set to see broadcasts in color were fewer. In 1956 The Perry Como Show on NBC was filmed in color, and seeing a show in color - well, it seemed to be, as they say today, "cutting edge." By 1959, Perry had a Kraft sponsored Music Hall show.
I suspect that's the show here in this YouTube video that presents Perry singing the classic "White Christmas," in 1960, even though this is in black and white.
Perry's career spanned many years and it's said that he got so many Gold records that he stopped having them certified. It was too embarrassing. In 2002 he received the Grammy's Lifetime Achievement Award.

(8) WINSTON-SALEM DAYS - THE CREW CUTS
I first heard that I looked like the actor James Dean while building with dad in the Winston-Salem, North Carolina area. I didn't go to many movies then and I honestly didn't know who James Dean was. My social life consisted of going to square dances and driving around town in my brand new baby blue Ford that I bought with my earnings from a summer of home building. I drove it pedal to the floor and was a sure ticket.I pulled into a drive-in restaurant one day and a car hop-waitress on roller skates came up to the car window. She insisted I go see "Rebel Without a Cause" which was James Dean's first movie - a hit. "Go to that movie and you'll see yourself," she said.
"Blackboard Jungle" was the big movie then. It was about hoodlums. But it had a song by the CREWCUTS that we called the "Sha Boom" song and to me it was the first rock and roll record. I loved it.
