| Recording » Bing's favorite song » 28/9/2026 2:50 pm |
I remember Bing saying Stardust was his favorite. Don't remember what interview I was watching at the time. I know I am one a a very few who does not like the song Stardust. I just never liked the flow of the melody. It just did not do anything for me and I thought Bing sang many other songs much better than he sang Stardust. But hey, I always had different taste from the majority. Anyway, didn't he also mention once liking Ghost Riders in the Sky? He probably had many favorites. Great topic Pantelis!

Thanks for the compliment Pantelis! I miss those times with Kathryn. We had a lot of laughs together. Time goes by too fast for me. Nice Photo David! Looks like the jacket Greg has that was Bing's. Ian, there are so many great photos of Bing, as a woman, I tend to favor his young and handsome photos but there are others that are good too even though he is older in them. I guess I am proof that we ladies are just as visual as men when it comes to the opposite sex. I am not dead yet! Lol! Pantelis, what is your favorite photo of Kathryn without Bing? I think mine would be one of her from the Sinbad movie where she has on that lovely two piece Princess outfit.

I met Kathryn at Hofstra and I was with her at a few Crosby Brooklyn and New York events after that. She picked me to accompany her. I ate with her, saw movies with her and went to the ladies room with her. I only regret I could not go to her home when I was invited. If only I could turn back time! However, there was an evil fan around back then who got a little envious and ruined any future meetings with Kathryn. I do not think she is alive anymore but she was evil.

No. I met him at a Bing Event that I was at with Kathryn. I believe it was at Sardys Restaurant back in the early 2000's.

Ian, I was able to post photo when I started post but after that I couldn't. Lucky I figure at a few things at this age. I think I know which photo Pantelis is talking about. Bing and Kathryn always radiated such warmth in photos. Especially that one. I always loved how Kathryn looked at Bing with such love and admiration. When they did the Joe Franklin Show she looks at him the way I described. Love that interview, one of the best. I remember going to Joe's restaurant in Manhattan and watching it on a tv( I had seen it already because a fan gave me a copy. ). Joe came over and greeted me. He remembered me from one of Kathryn's events in the city. Very nice man, started to get a little senile a few years after that. I loved his show. Nothing like it now.

Thanks Ian! Another favorite photo of Bing is on the cover of Kathryn's book, "My Life with Bing". Very handsome photo of Bing! And there is another where he is young and wearing a sweater. I will try and post them. Sometimes I can't post things here.

Pantelis and Ian Thanks! The health issues I had the past many years but I have been bombarded with stuff and fell behind on bills. I am currently trying to catch up.
| Radio » Abbott and Costello » 14/9/2026 10:05 pm |
Ian, I can't picture anyone playing Lou. He was one of a kind and good hearted. He gave Dean Martin the money for a nose job years ago. Yes, David This is Your Life, Lou Costello made me cry. Love Abbott and Costello. I have all those heir movies and many of their Radio Shows. They were excellent!!!

Was this movie released on blue ray yet? I think a seller on ebay is selling a bootleg copy of it on blue ray.

Pantelis, Thank you! I am having a rough few years but hanging in there. I miss all of you, I must try to be at next meeting. Aaron, So sad you don't have that drawing but at least you have photo of it.
| Miscellaneous Bing » Post your favorite photo of Bing » 13/9/2026 4:09 am |
Wow! When I started this post I had no idea how many would respond and how interesting it would become. I love the choices and the great stories. Aaron, wow! Your father''s Bing drawing is Amazing! Do you still have it? Of course, my friends and I would have made it into a dirty version at a party. Use your imagination. Yes, we ladies are as bad as men. Lol! ![]()
| Film » What role or character would you pick? » 16/8/2026 10:20 pm |
Lol! Good one Ian and I love all your suggestions. I do wish Bing had a bit part in movies like The Ten Commandments and The Towering Inferno. In The Ten Commandments, the voice of God would have been good for Bing and The Towering Inferno, he could have sang a song on the stage with Fred.

In my book about Bob( name escapes me), author mentions many actors who were gay but claimed Bob liked prostitutes and that is why could not have kids( STDs). Some actors mentioned Eric Blore and Edward Everett Horton( he was adapted when he was a baby by the actress who is the Old Lady in the Shoe from March of the Wooden Soldiers movie.) I can't think of her name right now.

Ian, you are too funny! Yes, Carole did not like it when Bing had to slap her. I grew up in Brooklyn, I learned how to fight from my three older brothers. When boys hit me, let's just say they never hit me again. About Ethel, no wonder Ernest Borgnine divorced her. In a Bob Hope book I read, He claims she was a lesbian.

You are right Ian, Carole Lombard. I would say it was on the set of "We're Not Dressing" when a trick was played on Carole Lombard, I believe the crew put something in the water that made her skin itchy as a joke. I forgot the story, will have to look it up again. I like your photo sort of has an antique look about it. I do favor the young Bing, but I am a woman so I like looking at men when they were young and handsome. Lol!

Will do! Cheerio!
| Miscellaneous Bing » Back of Bing check » 09/8/2026 3:37 am |
Ian, Dear Chap! A job for Sherlock Holmes. ![]()
| Miscellaneous Bing » Back of Bing check » 28/7/2026 7:00 am |
First name looks like either Bob or Bing. Last name is a mystery. Lol!

| Miscellaneous Bing » Bing Crosby signed check » 26/7/2026 9:15 pm |
Malcolm, Check came. I am going to frame it. The back looks as if Bing signed it. The first name looks like Bing(same B)that Bing writes but last name is a mystery. Looks like Milt? Anyone know anything about this?
| Miscellaneous Bing » Bing Crosby signed check » 23/7/2026 11:36 am |
Thanks Malcolm, I will let you know more when it arrives.
| Miscellaneous Bing » Bing Crosby signed check » 22/7/2026 11:16 am |
Malcolm, I looked at posting again and back is signed by someone, hard to make it out. It looks like Bob Milt? The B is written like Bing's B.
| Miscellaneous Bing » Bing Crosby signed check » 22/7/2026 11:11 am |
Malcolm, Hi! I did not get it in mail yet. I will let you know. Leo Lynn signed the back on most of them? Did not know that. I am not familiar with the checks. But Bing's signature looks real so I took a chance. And the seller, sells a lot of Old Hollywood memorabilia. I will feel like a fool if I wasted $45 on a fake Bing check.
| Miscellaneous Bing » Bing Crosby signed check » 21/7/2026 11:16 pm |
I just purchased a signed Check by Bing Crosby for $45. I will try and post it here but do not understand how to do it here. Anyway, I purchased it because it was written the month and year I was born June 1964. It is on a check with Bing's name printed on top and signed by Bing. I know his signature by now.
I think I uploaded it! Is it worth $45?
