To all Fans, I am in posession of one of Bing's pipes. It was seen in a number of movies and stills. I was wondering if there may be other fans who have similar articles and would like to contact me. I am curious as to the value of such objects, though I do not plan to sell the pipe at this time. Any interested persons please contact me at your convience. Thanx in advance.
Just got connected to the Internet last night, and guess who's web site was the first one I headed for! I think you're doing a fantastic job, Steven. You certainly do Bing proud. I'm sure most of the folks who read these messages are already members of Bing's fan club, which just celebrated it's 60th anniversary last year (1936-96), but for those who aren't members and would like more info., here's the address (no e-mail address as of yet): Club Crosby 435 So. Holmes Avenue Kirkwood, MO 63122. Thanks for the opportunity to give them a substantial 'plug'.
Hello Bing Folks! Just wanted to say hello and to let you know that I make available copies of Bing's films and recordings. I have a rather extensive collection and I've helped others fill in gaps. If you have something I don't have, I'm always eager to trade as well. Keep me in mind as a resource and a friendly fellow fan. best regards, Billy Daugherty
Hi, folks, Glenn Taranto here again. I'm "borrowing" time on my friend Steele's AOL program. I just got the new Jonzo CD #12 and it's great. Also found four great blue label titles the same day for fifty cents a disc. It was a great day for King Bing!I was wondering if there was anyone out there who could help get a campaign started or info leading to the release of Bing's REPRISE recordings. I feel that, as more time passes since Bing's untimely death, these original tapes will start to disintigrate and it will be too late. The time to save these things is now. (Even Bing's HEY JUDE album because I bet any amount of money this album would become a cult classic due to the Beatles tune Bing sings.)
Sure as a two lane highway eventually becomes a six lane freeway, Bing will have a major resurgence and those of us who have always been fans of Crosby's will have to ask ourselves why someone didn't just build the freeway in the first place!
An interesting tidbit: on the alternate audio track of the laserdisc of NEW YORK, NEW YORK, director Martin Scorsese states that the Robert DeNiro character was inspired by Bing Crosby's character in BLUE SKIES. Scorsese wondered what would happen to an irresponsible character like Crosby's "Johnny" in a more realistic and unforgiving setting than that of a traditional movie musical. The result was DeNiro's character.
Hello, I'm a huge Bing fan and have been since I could listen to music. I just found this page and want to gratefully thank all who set it up. I am surprised at all the folks ready to sell so much wonderful stuff. If I could, I'd buy it all; however, I'm poor, so I have to make do with what I can get. Anyway, I'm always interested in hearing any trivia anyone has as I listen to our fav crooner. E-mail me anytime. Thanks to all.

Bing Crosby was our host in 1975 when our radio station recreated a live two-hour Command Performance program on Treasure Island. As Bing came to the microphone to do various announcing chores and appear in skits he would take each completed page in his fingers and dropping his arm to his side let the page fall silently the remaining short distance to the floor.In talking to some veterans I learned this practice was more common when scripts were lengthy or bulky and when they were concerned about spilling contents as they proceeded from page to page.
My final remembrance of that date involving scripts was when Bing invited our musical director Meredith Willson to the microphone to say a few carefully scripted words. Meredith forgot momentarily we were recreating a radio program and walked to the mike sans script just planning to shoot the breeze with Bing. After ad-libbing for a while, which Bing did with ease, we managed to get Meredith's script to him and they finished the bit as planned.
I ordered a LP through Hot Platters in CA which I was extremely happy with. (It wasn't a Bing LP, something else for a friend.) Along with the LP was a catalog with a small section (in tiny print) of Bing LP's including...Goldilocks (Promo), Seasons and several more. There was also this statement. "To receive our additional listing of over 20 Bing Crosby related LP's - Kraft Music Hall radio shows, live recordings, coversations, etc please send a S.A.S.E. I'm not affilated with this company, just helping out those looking for Bing related material.
As a follow-up to my previous message that new single on the new Peggy Lee CD "Best of The Decca Years" is called "The Possibility's There" it was recorded on Nov. 22, 1955. I looked it up in my Bing Discography book and it wasn't listed, but it sounds great with some double entendre-lyrics and has a full band backing them. There's also 2 Peggy Lee CD's put out by Laser Light with Bing & Peggy duets included. On volume one in addition to the Peggy songs there are these Bing duets: Baby You Can Count on Me, It's A Good Day, Golden Earings, and Maybe You'll Be There. All these I identified from Bing's radio shows except the last one "Maybe You'll Be There" this I don't know where it comes from. On Laser Light Vol. 2 there's only one Bing duet. I found all 3 of these CD's at Tower Records. It's good knowing there are so many Bing fans out there. I wish I could find Bing's movie "Top o' The Morning", this would be great for St. Patty's Day.
I am only 17 years old and have been a big fan of Bing Crosby for over 10 years now. I am interested in memorobilia and also hearing stories from anyone who had personally met him. I would greatly appreciate anyone who e-mail's me.
I am looking for a music box like the one in "Going My Way" that plays "Toora Loora Loora" (sp.?) / Irish Lullaby plus room for a bottle of Irish whiskey and a couple of shot glasses. Can anyone help?
I have come across a letter and picture from 1933 from Bing to my mom. The letter is an answer to a fan letter. It is dated March 29, 1933. The letter head says Bing Crosby New York. It says "Thank you very much for your recent letter and for your kindly comment. I only hope that I may be able to continue to merit your interest and approval. (new Paragraph) The photograph you requested is enclosed with sincere good wishes. Cordially yours Bing." The picture is a waist up shot with Bing smiling and his hands are in the jacket pockets. It says "Thanking you for your interest Bing Crosby" There are some small tears at the bottom of the letter. I'm interested in finding out the value of the 2 pieces and if anyone might be interested in buying for the right price.
ATTENTION BING FANS!!
I have an original 1932 copyrighted "Bing Crosby's Favorite Songs" book in fantastic condition.

Available for purchase to the highest bidder. Contact me at IZZOV@Juno.com
I came across some records in a thrift shop one day, I started flipping through them & there were some 78's. But alas, no Bing!But something caught my eye! It's a Decca album #723 Titled Manhattan Tower (Gordon Jenkins and his orchestra). The corner on the binder edge was a little torn and underneath I saw the letters BING CR. There was no doubt in my mind that this was originally a Crosby album but had been recovered & a new label was affixed! I have yet to peel the label off to see WHAT Crosby album it really is.
Does anyone have ANY information on WHY they did this and any other info? I would be greatly appreciative. Dan
I enjoy reading the bulletin board and have used it a couple times. But I must admit I find it a bit boring when fans keep asking how much a particular Bing record is worth. Folks do yourself a favor and walk into any typical new record store and check out the Bing section. Thats your first clue. If you are fortunate and live near a Tower or Best Buy then you can browse thru some Crosby CDs. Thats your first clue - CDs. Folks they are not making 78s anymore and even though some vinyl is still being manufactured it is mostly the music of today (new wave, Beatles, etc.) Even though you would think 78s would be valuable and to some people they still are just try and find those some people. Gosh I hope I'm not discouraging folks from finding buyers for their Crosby memorabilia, but if you are serious in selling it please put it up for auction or take out an ad for Goldmine magazine or Discoveries. My experience is that it is hard to unload 78s. I have had better luck selling some Crosby LPs. I think its the artwork and packaging that will keep vinyl somewhat valuable. I gave all of my Crosby 78s away years ago and don't regret it one bit. I find most 78s to be unattractive, hard to store and very tedious to play, etc. Well anyhow I just thought I would get my 2 cents worth in. If some other fans have other opinions on how valuable 78s are I would like to hear from them. All the best Richard
My father has a collection of Bing Crosby records, one of them is an album called "Both Sides of Bing Crosby" recorded by Curtain Calls sometime in the 40's. It incudes Jimmy Valentine (fluff), Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams (fluff), argument with Jack Kapp (owner of Decca Records), Jingle Bells with the Andrews Sisters (fluff), Blue Serenade (fluff), with other selections, a total of sixteen tracks. We would like to know what this might be worth, if anyone can help please e-mail me. Thanks.
A record was given to me many years ago. It is an out-take of "Dream Your Troubles Away" by Bing Crosby. Near the end of the record, he forgets the words. The record is a 78, only recorded on one side and is in good condition. He sings:
"Sang the wrong melody.
Will play it back
See what it sounds like,
Hey, Hey
They cut out 8 bars, the dirty bastards.
I didn't know which 8 bars he was going to cut,
Why don't somebody tell me things around here,
Holy Christ, I'm going off my nut.
If someone would have an idea what this is worth please email me.
My grandfather, James Gormley, had a song and dance act with Bing while at Gonzaga. The act was actually a trio, with another fella with the last name Leo. Does anyone have more information on the act, any pictures? I would be very interested in obtaining information.
This is a terrific page on Mr. C!!!! Checked out some of the previous E-Mail and answered many of the questions. For example, "My Heart is A Hobo" is a cute song from "Welcome Stanger" which Bing sang with Barry Fitzgerald, in part. The song was on one of the albums in the "Bing's Hollywood" series from the fifties from Decca(now MCA). Only a couple of the "Bing's Hollywood" albums have so far been released on CD. The movie, "Welcome Stranger" is one of Bing's best, in my opinion. The flick was released in 1947 and starred Bing, Barry Fitzgerald, Joan Caulfield and Wanda Hendrix. It's on TV a lot, usually on AMC.Here's my query: Where is High Tor????????? I remember seeing it on CBS in March, 1956. It was part of the Ford Star Jubilee and an album (very rare) was released by Decca. Arthur Schwartz was the producer and Maxwell Anderson was also involved. "High Tor" was a film. Was it made in color? Where is the film? Who now owns the rights to it?? Will MCA ever release a CD of the album? To my knowledge, the film has never been shown on TV since that first airing in 1956. It's also, I think, Julie Andrews' first American television performance. When the show was telecast, Ms Andrews was just about to open in "My Fair Lady" on Broadway. Thanks, Hy Agens
Purchased video "Holiday Inn" on Wednesday, February 12, 1997; the next day I learn that Majorie Reynolds, supporting actress in "Holiday Inn", passed away. After viewing the film again, I mourn the loss of this beautiful lady. Is there a way to send condolences to her family?
I reside in FL ... I am 23 and looking for anyone in the Orlando area that is well into Bing as I am. I've well over 30 cd's, many records & would just like to meet a few people into Crosby -- which seems few & far between -- to speak with and maybe learn a few things. E- me!
I was wondering if someone has the lyrics to Where the turf meets the surf down at old Del Mar. I read that he had founded the turf club at Del Mar and was interested in finding out more about it. If you have it E-mail Me. Thanks Mary
I happened across quite a few other pieces of Bing sheet music this weekend: "Aren't You Glad You're You" from The Bell's of St. Mary's (1945); "Personality" from Road to Utopia (1945); "Swinging on a Star" from Going My Way (1944); "Sunday, Monday, or Always" from Dixie (1943); "I'm An Old Cowhand" from Rhythm on the Range (1936) and "Just a Prayer Away" (1944). Of course, all picture at least Bing himself.
Hi! I'm 19 years old and have recently become interested in collecting Bing records!! If anyone has any suggestions on where to look or has some for sale (send an offer!) Please E-mail me!!
To start out, I have to say I am verg big Bing fan. My age is 23 & I have hundreds of (78's), 20-30 (33 1/3) many 45's & over 30 cd's. But of course not wanting to sell. I have an Al Jolson 78 record album called "Jolson Sings Again." It is a 4 record set, Album no. A-716 copyright 1949. What is strange is that on the binder edge it reads "ST. Valentines Day -- Bing Crosby / Decca Album 621." If you have any info on this, if it was a corrected error or whatever, I would greatly appreciate it very much .
Hi everyone...I am still looking for any Crosby memorabilia for sale. If you have something you will part with please e-mail me. I am also looking for a copy of the movie "Riding High". If you can help with any of these please let me know. christian19@juno.com
Hi! I have a child's phonograph from about 1940 or so called a Bing Crosby Junior Juke Box. It is shaped like a small juke box, lights up on the inside. The front is colored plastic and it plays 78's. Any information about this would be appreciated. Thanks! Irwin Goldberg
Just found the place! I'm impressed! I have quite a few Bing CD's and LP's (Including High Tor). Not interested in selling them unless someone makes me a ridiculous offer. Collect video's too (when budget allows). Happy 1997 to all who enjoy Mr. C!
Hi and Happy New Year! I just wanted all the "Bing Folks" out there to know that I'm sending best wishes to one and all. I'm glad to have been able to help a few of you in the past... hope to help a few more in 1997. Please keep me in mind if you have anything unusual to sell or trade in the Bing department, okay? Let's Start The New Year Right!
I read Jay Carr's review of *Mother Night* and was surprised he made no mention of the "historical error" in the film -- Nick Nolte's character notes having received "surplus World War II materials," including dozens of records of the same song -- Crosby's "White Christmas." Presumably, this would be the 1942 recording. But the one heard at three points in the film is the remake--cut 2 years after the war!
Hello Bing Fans, and Happy Holidays! Could someone direct me to the website for a Collector's Society known as Bing's Gang (this is the publication title for the magazine)? Best wishes this Holiday Season! Jim (guitarock@msn.com)
I LOVE Bing Crosby and Gene Kelly! Did they ever apear in a movie together? Is therea Bing Crosby Fan Club? I would like to join! (Ditto for Gene Kelly) I'm not sure if I like Holiday Inn or White Christmas better. I recently saw Going My Way and two of his Bob Hope and Bing movies (ie, Road to Singapore). I 'm sorta sad that I'm sixteen and (almost) all my heroes have died. ): Please E-mail me if you know the answer to one of my questions or know the feeling of liking people everyone else has not even heard of!
IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED ABOUT THE BING AND DAVID BOWIE RECORDING OF THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY... IT CAN BE OBTAINED ON A CDROM PUT OUT BY OGLIO RECORDS. I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD IT AND IT ISN'T HALF BAD. HOBIE WILSON, PRESIDENT, BING'S FRIENDS & COLLECTORS SOCIETY
Hi folks. I just found your web site tonight. I've been searching for the last three years for a recording that Bing did with David Bowie; it was a mixed song titled Peace On Earth/The Little Drummer Boy. Does anyone know what album this is on, if it's available on CD, and where I can get a copy? I fell in love with this when the station I listen to played it during the Christmas season three years ago but they haven't played it since. Please e-mail me directly with the answer if you have one as I won't be able to get back to the site often. Thanks in advance. Sue
I am watching a Disney Channel special reprising some old Bing Crosby Christmas shows. I was pleased to see that the show tonight had the Bing Crosby/David Bowie duet that was included in one of his last live shows. I remember how touched I was by that when it first aired. For me, watching the symbol of the good old days perform so movingly with his counterpart from the rebellious '60s/'70s was kind of a symbolic end of the generation gap that was such a part of the late '60s and early '70s. Steve
We are looking for the album by Bing called "A Christmas Story" featuring the song, "An axe, an apple, and a buckskin jacket." Would appreciate any info concerning dealers or sources with private collectors interested in making some cash. Please email us directly. Thank you!!! Jeff Penman
Back in the late 50's Bing Crosby did a musical for television. The Title of the show was HIGH TOR. There was an album released based on the show? Does anyone know anything about either the show or the album? The show was about a man (BING) living on a mountain "TOR" and so the story begins. Crosby narrating "Yes I'll tell you what happened here on High Tor"...and the story goes on. Probably a Kraft theatre or something. Thank you and please write. Al Yanelli
Would you be interested in buying old movie magazines with Bing Crosby on the cover or articles about him in them? Contact Rae: raelynn@netdoor.com
Seasons Greetings, fellow Bing Admirers! Just a reminder to be sure to watch "Holiday Inn"! It's a tradition in my home, during the holidays, and it's sure to get you in the Christmas spirit!
I'm trying to solve a family (genealogical) mystery: I was told by a distant cousin that that we are related to Bing Crosby. A Susan Etta Stone, born in Gardner, MA in 1859, married a Sherman Washburn and removed to Pasadena, CA. I understand that Bing was born in Tacoma, WA. Does anybody know the names of Bing's parents and grandparents and where they lived?
I am named after an old Bing record "katrina" from Ichabod and Mr. Toad. It was a very old Walt Disney. Does anyone know where I can get a copy? I have a letter from Bing. He wrote when I was a kid and referred to the record and I would love to put the record and letter together. Please e-mail me. Thanks.
Hey folks! I just bought the new Andrew Sisters and Bing double cd set. It's _very_ much worth the money. If anyone here is a collecter, grab a first printing. There's a typo on the back cover. Under the listing of songs on cd two, it jumps from track 19 to track 21. The unlisted track 20 is the infamous Jingle Bells blow up. When I first picked it up, I didn't notice the jump in numbers, and was disapointed that the Jingle Bells blow up wasn't listed. Talk about a nice surprise!
Does anyone know how many Bing books (biographies, autobiographies) have been written and/or are currently in print? I'm sure there must be some but cannot locate anything in print at present. Thanks! Conrad
Does anybody know where I can purchase a complete set of Bing Crosby hosting the Kraft Music Hall? I also have some Bing Crosby sheet music if any one is interested.
Is this a happy little praise and obsession page? Oh well, it is now! I'm Suzanne and I'm 16 years old. Not many of my friends like Bing. Well, I do and I'd like some info on what albums are the cheapest and best. I'm just a little low on funds. Thanks and happy crooning, swooning and singing!!! Suzoo
I just purchased the home that Bing Crosby was born in (Tacoma, WA) and recently have become a fan of his. I am interested in purchasing any Bing memorabilia (particularly pictures of Bing during his first 3 years, when he lived in the home in Tacoma) or pictures of Bing for the walls. I am also interested in stories or articles about Bing.
I am 37 and a performer of mostly Irish folk music but since I was a kid I have loved the voice and the persona of Bing Crosby. Does anyone know if the once lp of Bing and Rosemary Clooney that was sort of a musical trip around the world has been put on cd yet? It's a fun album. Also I would love to know if the album or albums Bing did with Louis Armstrong are on cd yet including "Brother Bill".
I need a photo of Paul Whiteman's Old Gold Special touring train. I know it was decorated in some way for advertising purposes. I know the last car somehow turned into a bandstand for stops in the smaller train stations. Thanks!
When I was a kid I played all his songs
Up in my room I'd sing along
I loved his voice, so soft and so strong
It's hard to believe Bing Crosby's gone.
HOPING YOU CAN HELP. I'M DESPERATELY SEEKING A COPY OF BING SINGING THE THEME SONG FOR THE DEL MAR RACETRACK. WHERE THE TURF MEETS THE SURF. WAS THIS APRIVATE SESSION RECORDED FOR THE TRACK ONLY OR WAS THIS RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC? I CAN GET A COPY OF THE SONG FROM THE TRACK, BUT I'D LOVE TO KNOW THE ORIGINAL FORMAT.
THANKS-CASEY
Looking for any memorabilia from Bing. If anyone has anything for sale let me know. Also any original records. Crazy thing is...I found this page by accident...wow...I didn't think there was ANYONE who was as big a Crosby fan as me....
THE BIG BROADCAST: I am in need for a copy of the movie "The Big Broadcast" starring our friend Bing Crosby. During the Christmas of 1990 I was stuck in a bad snow storm. After paying formy hotel room I only had enough money for a pizza and gas so there I sat eating pizza with my dog when I turned on AMC and there it was. A few months later I was able to tape the movie but that copy has been destroyed. If you have a copy I will pay for your troubles. PLEASE HELP ME...Andrew R. Cook Chicago, IL
I'm a big fan of Bing Crosby. I attended his 50th Anniversary concert in LA, his concert in San Francisco, and also his last American concert at the Concord Pavillion, in Concord, CA. I'm trying to locate a videotape of his 50th Anniversary concert made for television, that starred Bob Hope, the Mills Bros., Bette Midler, Pearl Bailey, and many others.

Hi Gang! Just thought you might like to know that the first in the JONZO series of "The Chronological Bing Crosby" is out on CD from the UK and available through Wig Wiggins. This is Vol. 11 - 1932. It includes all known alternates and the sound is superb - just like the LP series some of you may remember. It's $19.50 (post paid) and you can get it by sending your check or money order to: F.B Wiggins 5608 North 34'th St. Arlington, VA 22207 (Wig represents the International Club Crosby - if you don't belong you should! Ask him about membership and their quarterly magazine.) Your Friend in Bing, Billy
Bing Crosby owned an English Setter during the 1940..1950 years. I believe the "call name" of the dog was "Bing". Does anyone know the registered name? Thank you.
Joel Whitburn, author of "Pop Memories, 1890-1954," is searching for original Bing Crosby recordings of two of his #1 hits: "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?" (Brunswick 6414) and "Little Dutch Mill" (Brunswick 6794). Joel Whitburn.
Hi, I am a singer from England and I have been a Crosby fan for as long as I can remember. My work is with Big Bands and I wonder if anyone can help me to obtain any musical arrangements used by Bing? I would like to sing some of his songs as a tribute to him.
Are there any young Crosby fans out there (15-25 yrs.old)? If so, E-mail me! I'll be happy to talk to anyone! Regards, Crissi
I have the original vinyl cut (audio disc 5224) of a recording Bing Crosby made of two songs, the names I am not sure of. Both were flubs. I know these were recorded sometime prior to 1947 in New York in a studio there. Can anyone help me to identify these songs, what year they were recorded and under what label? This is how the first side goes: "Why must I go on dreaming of an imaginary love. I wish I had someone to sing to. One that I could kiss and cling to. No one hears my serenade in blue. --- No one hears my serenade. -What the hell happened to me, son of a bitch, what's that melody?"The second side goes like this:
"Just remember the sunshine always follows the rain. Wrap your troubles in dreams, dream your troubles away. --- Whistle and dream your cares away. Castles my tumble that's fate, after all, life's really funny that way. -- Sang the wrong melody - will play it back - see what it sounds like - hey, hey. They cut out 8 bars, the bastards, they didn't tell me what 8 bars they were goin to cut - why doesn't somebody tell me these things around here, I'm going off my nut."
I would like to find out if this record may be collectible, and if so, if anyone may be interested in purchasing it.
In the army I came across the famous Crosby flubs tape. I remember the "yo cut out 8 bars, you dirty bastards"...and the "Jingle bells, jingle bells, holy jesus christ" version he did with the Andrews Sisters. Is it still possible to get a copy of that tape today? Please let me know. BURT WILSON
I am trying to locate a video or kinescope of Bing Crosby hosting the April, 1967 episode of the television show the "Hollywood Palace". Louis Armstrong, Red Buttons, Nanette Fabray and the Good Time Washboard Three were also on. If any one knows how to obtain a copy of this show, please e-mail as soon as possible. Thank You
I am a big Bing Fan and I want to hear from others. Please send me any info on Bing. Happy Crooning! Frankie
Hi. Some of you may remember me from Footlight Records in NYC. I am no longer there but am still very active in all things Bing. If you are a collector and you are interested in selling or trading, feel free to contact me... or if you're looking for something rare in video or audio, my collection runs into the thousands - maybe I can help! In any case, wishing you all happy collecting and a big thanks to Steven for making this page possible. Bill Daugherty 408 Third St. #3 Brooklyn NY 11215
I have a large number of used 45 RPM records that I've been accumulating for many years including many Crosby's. If you are interested see my website at http://home.earthlink.net/~augustl/45_RPM_Sale.html
I'm trying to find if there is a recording available of Bing singing "THE LORDS PRAYER" He would sing as the television stations would go off the air.
Thought I would share with all the Crosby fans the recent passing of Bill Osborn of Seattle, Washington. Bill was a favorite at Crosby banquets sharing his wit, wisdom and ribald humor. He was a frequent contributor to many Crosby journals and is well known for his extensive Crosby Collection in both record and tapes. He is well known for his several interviews with Bing and for his contribution to the Bing Crosby Historical Society. He was a great friend to yours truly and he will be missed.
