I have 2 parakeets. My female was going through a nervous time. I started playing Bing Christmas songs for her every night to calm her down. It worked. The parakeets love Bing. Bing is good therapy for a Happy Budgie! Maybe more people should listen to Bing to calm down during the holidays.

Richard, I collect dvd's and I'm up to the Marx Brothers. I purchased the set not knowing SaUG was on it. The set itself is Great for any Marx Brothers fan because it contains many funny moments from TV shows, commercials, home movies, ect..Although SaUG isn't that great I was glad to finally have it and see it for myself. Thanks Richard and Malcolm for sharing your input here. Malcolm , thanks for posting the review. Another actor that can be seen in SaUG is a very young Orson Beam.

Bing and Bob appear briefly. They walk by each other with umbrellas.

I purchased a box set recently The Marx Brothers TV Collection and was surprised to see this show was included. I didn't watch it yet. I will watch it today. I know Bob and Bing make cameo appearances in film. I heard of this film but never came across it till now. The reason why it is in the set is because Saturday Evening Post hired Chico's Daughter's company to create a promo film for them. Grouch has a cameo also. I will watch it and get back to you.

Ron, I love Bing and Errol Flynn. I've been purchasing some of Flynn's movies. Like Bing he had looks and magnetism. No one today in film has that combination. Many from the 30's to the 70's had it or had one and not the other. Cagney, Wayne, Ty Power, Mcqueen- just to name a few! RIP Bing and Errol! We miss you guys!
Recording » The Road to Minnesota, by Bing & Bob, on Buster's Swinging Singles » 16/9/2016 10:42 pm |
I have the record "Vacation Road to Minnesota". I never listened to it. Now that I have radio with record player again I will have to find it and listen to it. I can transfer it to cd too. What do Bing and Bob do on the record besides promote Minnesota? Anyway, I think Greg Van Beek gave me the record years back and I saved it.

I didn't know about this until I went to Crosby.com site. Are they still available? Did they sell the first fifty already?
Film » Why is sound so low on certain dvd's? » 13/7/2016 11:01 am |
Richard,Maybe they do a better job on the sound in England. I'll keep Calm and Carry On!
Film » Why is sound so low on certain dvd's? » 11/7/2016 12:00 pm |
Richard, I tried everything with the dvds. I even played them in different rooms on different equipment. The sound is terrible. White Christmas has great sound. I guess it is only with some of his older movies.
Film » Why is sound so low on certain dvd's? » 10/7/2016 11:02 am |
When I watch certain dvd's like Welcome Stranger and Going Hollywood the sound seems very low. The same movies I had recorded on to dvd from VHS [before they were released on dvd] and the sound is way better. The official releases may have a great picture but why such poor sound?

I finished the book. It was a Great read for Fathers Day. A nice tribute to Bing. Thanks Nathaniel! From Carmela
New and Re-issued materials » Nathaniel Crosby book » 14/6/2016 11:53 pm |
I am almost done with book. I am reading 4 books at the same time so that is why I didn't finish it yet. The book is Excellent! I was so happy to read that Bing was good friends with Art Rooney because I'm a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan! I won't talk about the book and what's in it. I'd rather all of you read it and find out for yourselves.
Film » Road to Singapore » 02/6/2016 12:46 pm |
Thanks Graham! I hope your article is in the next Bing Mag. I forgot to mention. This is from the female point of view- Bing and Bob looked very handsome in Road to Singapore! In Morocco, I thought they looked silly and slightly older. I think Morocco is a funny movie but it is just not my favorite in the series.
Film » Road to Singapore » 29/5/2016 8:25 pm |
Road to Singapore is my favorite road movie. It was the first in the series. Many funny scenes and a great song "Too Romantc"! It is underrated and in my opinion the Best road movie. I read of few articles in Bing Mag that mention Road to Morocco as the best road movie. Not everyone thinks it is. I don't. I would put Singapore first. Any others out there who don't think Morocco is the best road movie?
