Crossword

The March 2013 issue of Alaska Airlines inflight magazine has the following in their crossword.
Bing Crosby song. No clues as to the number of words etc.
I tried White Christmas but that was too short, so I cheated and went to
the solution page.
Bing only sang about 6,000 songs, so there is a wide choice.
Anyway, the answer is 'Swinging On A Star'.
A number of crosswords would have shown that as:-
Bing Crosby song: 8, 2,1,4
However, nice to see that the person who compiles the crossword though of our man.

Re: Crossword

This area will have to do and to save opening up a new section.
In the 'letters' section of the Sydney Morning Herald for Monday 6th. May a writer refers to Bing.
There is a bit of a shin-ding going on about race horses - I haven't followed the whole business.
The writer refers to Bing's song 'The Horse Told Me' and quotes two lines of the song - The owner told Clarence the Clocker/the clocker told jockey McGee/the jockey of course passed it onto the horse/and the horse told me.
The writer goes on to suggest that the inquiry should ask the horse tyhe detail.
Go to: www.smh.com.au 
then to 'comments' then to 'letters' (for 6th. May) then scroll down.
Nice to see Bing mentioned.

Re: Crossword

Have any of the past Crosby fan periodicals, published over the years, carried a Crosby-related crossword puzzle? That might be an interesting feature.
