    If you’d like me to, Norman, I could find out the name of Como’s toupéeist for you – I know people who know people.
    Just let me know.
    In the meantime, wear a cap and keep your pate warm.

      Surely sir, that’s neither hair nor theer; it could be revealed as a
      Perry Comb-over and there’d be hell toupé.
      That’s enough of barbed comments on this video Clip- it makes one bristle.

        All good ones, Paul!
        (My brother-in-law is a punster and, believe me, I’m thoroughly familiar with hearing that unfairly disrespected art.)

  • Larry says:

    Como had actually been a barber in “real life” before his singing career was developed. The story goes that every year he would renew his barber’s license so he something to fall back on if the music career faded.
