    He wonders as he wanders!

    Perry Como, one of the finest artists ever to grace radio speakers and television screens, is seen here in one of his annual Christmas shows! Here, Perry visits Jerusalum, and other places of a strong religious back ground. He begins by singing I wonder as I wander, which he sings with pure brilliance, and relaxation in his voice! Later he meets up with a young lady, whom he sings some various traditional songs of Israel, such as 'The city of tradition'(The title of the song is somewhere along the lines of that - but it could be the correct title.) Later on in the show, Perry meets up with Richard Chamberlain, and together they discuss the Christmas story and other stories of the time. Perry also plants a tree in Jerusalum, with the help of two children. Here Perry sings all-time favourite songs of worship such as 'Ave Maria' and 'The Lord's prayer', along with newer Christmas songs such as 'Christ is born'. Well worth watching at Christmas time! Available from amazon, and appears on ebay as well!
