I guess this is a rather obscure issue, but I have a question about something I noticed in the last Christmas show that Bing filmed.  I noticed, when Bing was at the piano singing with David Bowie and then at the end when singing "White Christmas", that he had a bandaid around his right index finger.  Does anyone know what had happened to his finger?  Like I said, a very obscure issue, but inquiring minds...ha.  Also, I couldn't help thinking, when Bing was talking at the end of the show, those were some great thoughts that this old world could do with more of!

Richard, I agree.  It was the title of the video that intrigued me and I thought "ok, I have to see this!".  I'm sure there were young people in the audience so it was great for them to get some exposure to Bing.  I wish I had had professors like this guy, when I went to college as he knows how to keep your interest.

Many Bing fans know that Bing and Al Rinker, after deciding to leave Spokane, Washington for California in 1925, first went to Seattle, Washington.  To get to Seattle from Spokane, they would have traveled the Sunset Highway across Washington state.  There is a very entertaining, central Washington geology professor who has done a series of lectures about the geology of Washington state.  In one of his latest lectures, he tied it to Bing and Al's trip across Washington to Seattle.  The result is a very entertaining and instructional video that, along with a discussion of the geology, you see vintage photos of the road as it would have looked when Bing and Al traveled it.  I hope you enjoy the video (you will probably enjoy it more if you also are interested in geology!).
