Norman Wolfe passed away some years ago but I know that he would be very pleased if his book was placed on the ICC Archive. The ICC published the book.

Thanks, Carmela. I've no idea who it was.

Carmela, can we see an image of the back?

Miscellaneous Bing » Bing Crosby signed check » 23/7/2026 6:18 am

Don't worry, I'm sure it's genuine.  Leo Lynn didn't sign the back of every "Cash" check, but he did sometimes.

Miscellaneous Bing » Bing Crosby signed check » 22/7/2026 8:20 am

Is it signed on the back by Leo Lynn?

Many thanks David. I had never seen that full version before. I can quite understand why they cut out some of the scenes, especially the monkey and the gorilla bit. Bing was in great voice though, wasn't he.

The ICC will be celebrating 90 years too so it would make sense to have a 2-CD set to commemorate both anniversaries. We are talking to Sepia Records at the moment. However CDs are going out of favour so we make have to consider sponsoring the issue in some way. We are thinking of using radio tracks that have not been on CD or only on CD in the last century.

All of us on this board are keen Crosby followers but possibly not all of you are members of the International Club Crosby and will not therefore be receiving the 56-page BING magazine.  There is a subscription for this, but if any of you would like a free copy of the last issue in a PDF format as a sample, just let me know.

Swaps and Sales » 'The Chronological Bing Crosby' complete 51-CD set. » 12/5/2025 9:50 pm

The late Len Livett had a home in the UK and also he spent a lot of time at another property in France. So keen was he about Bing that he tried to duplicate his collection so that he could play his collection in both locations. This would have been an expensive exercise for him as he bought the Chronological CDs as they came out. He was not depriving others of the CDs, rather he was supporting John McNicolas' superb effort in releasing all of Bing's recordings.
