So far I added a forum for books as well as one for The International Club Crosby. I also deleted the Announcement forum, which topics in that forum can be covered by the many other topics. 

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

David Lobosco has graciously agreed to take over the Administration of this board. 

I am very grateful to him as I have been unable to devote time to it in the recent past.
I am sure that David will bring energy and vigour to the task that I fear I have lacked for some months.

I wish him very well and ask that all subscribers will give him whatever support they can.

Recent news suggests that this is a time when new things could emerge from "Official" sources and I hope that news might begin to flow again both as a result of this and some of the ideas that David has for the future of this board.
I am sure I will return from time to time as a contributor, but now I leave matters in the hands of David as the Administrator and Moderator.

Two members have forwarded me links relating brief details about a serious automobile accident injuring Kathryn Crosby:

Does anyone know what options members (or readers) may have for personally communicating their wishes for Mrs. Crosby's recovery and their sympathies to the family regarding the loss of her husband, Mr. Sullivan?

John,

Thank you for your good words.  It seems like only a few days ago, this board was only a framework.  Then I attempted to get the word out to a handful of others at websites with some relationship to Bing, and they have done all the rest!

I like the way that Satchmo sings out the individual syllables in the opening theme song:
"High, Hign,
High, High,
High So-Ci-Et-Ty."
It has me smiling before the story even begins.

Can anyone (already joined or about to join) tell about the new Collector's Choice CD set collecting songs recorded for the Crosby-Clooney radio show.  I mean, has anyone ordered it yet, heard it yet?

Here is a link to the catalog description for anyone who hasn't already heard about this:

I hope to be getting the word out in the next few days, so that this discussion board framework can begin to take on some liveliness! 

Meanwhile any Bing Crosby fanatics who happen upon this place are encouraged to click the "Register" lin,  to mindfully agree to the discussion board rules, and to thence proceed with the easy process of becoming a member, customizing your interface, and beginning to contribute in posts and comments!
