Where's Bing?
According to Carroll Carroll, principal writer on Bing's Kraft Music Hall:
"Back when the past was the present, and I was writing Bing Crosby's Kraft Music Hall Thursday nights on NBC, one of those rare few was our engineer Murdo MacKenzie. Each week he would save the big electrical transcriptions of the show, for what use no one really knew. When he was called to war, about 1943, I guess, he put his complete set of recordings in a closet at the old NBC studios at Sunset and Vine in Hollywood. He put an extra padlock on the door and a sign, PERSONAL PROPERTY OF MURDO MACKENZIE. DO NOT DISTURB. After he and a few million others had secured the peace he came back to find his closet had a new door and was full of brooms and mops. NBC execs could only say, 'We needed the space.' So the ability of future generations to rehear the hundreds of hours of Bing and his guests ... all the biggest names of the day ... were in a sense just one more casualty of WWII." (Carroll Carroll as quoted in Bingang, Dec. 1990, p13)
A few of the NBC affiliates recorded at least some of the Kraft broadcasts, and their recordings serve as the source of the few early shows that circulate today. Most likely the largest collection of transcription discs of Bing's radio shows are in the J. David Goldin Collection at the Marr Sound Archives at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. Other sources of Kraft material are incomplete recordings. For example, Bing's conductor, John Scott Trotter, recorded many of Bing's songs to archive the arrangements. Lost, however, perhaps forever are classic shows that featured Paul Robeson, Bob Hope's first appearance on radio with Bing, and Bing's first public singing of White Christmas (Christmas 1941).
One complete show that survives today featured a future president, Ronald Reagan, who was introduced in 16 April 1942 as "Ronald Reegan." Perhaps tucked away in someone's attic are transcription discs of the lost broadcasts of Bing's KMH.
The Kraft show was broadcast on Thursday evenings from Studio B in Hollywood's radio city at the corner of Sunset and Vine in Los Angeles. Scripts to the shows were sent to Bing on Monday, which he edited and returned the next day. Scripts can be found in the J. Walter Thompson collection at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and the Carroll Carroll Collection of the American Heritage Center of the University of Wyoming. The show was rehearsed Thursday afternoon and went live in the evening. After each show Bing selected the songs he wished to sing on the next week's show.

Where's Bing?
Bing was absent during much of the fall 1944 season entertaining the troops in Europe. He disappeared again in the fall of '45 as a result of a contractual dispute ... Bing wanted to record his show. Kraft and NBC refused, and forced Bing to return for the spring 1946 season. As soon as his legal commitments were fulfilled, Bing walked away from Kraft and NBC to Philco and ABC, where he became the first major network star to transcribe his radio show for later broadcast.
The best years of the Kraft era for me were the 1943-44 seasons. Bing had just reached the pinnacle of the entertainment world, and these broadcasts clearly reveal him 'feeling his oats.' These shows were well written, well sung and at times irreverent. Bing's comedic sidekicks in the Hall included Bob "Bazooka" Burns (for whom the World War II GI's named a weapon). Burns added a rural flavor to the show from 1936-41. Comedian Jerry Lester replaced Burns when he departed in July of 1941 for his own show on CBS. Victor Borge took over as resident comic throughout 1942. Leo "Ukie" Sherin served as comedic foil to Bing throughout 1943-44. During the first year-and-a-half of the Kraft show Bing was backed by the Jimmy Dorsey orchestra. Dorsey was replaced 8 July 1937 by John Scott Trotter, who remained with Bing for the next 17 years. Bing's announcer through most of the Kraft years and beyond was Ken Carpenter. Often Bing is supported by female vocalists -- Connee Boswell (1940-41), Mary Martin (1942), Trudy Erwin (1943), Marilyn Maxwell (1944) or Eugenie Baird (1944-45) -- and choral groups The Paul Taylor Choristers (1936-39), The Music Maids (1939-44) and The Charioteers (1942-46).
The Kraft shows described below are only ones I have heard in their entirety. Although listed, I've not heard the complete 1941 Christmas broadcast where Bing first sang White Christmas. For a more complete list of Bing's Kraft shows see JazzDiscography or the International Club Crosby or RadioGoldIndex.
