Thank you Graham but a far more deserving thank you for your many decades of highly informed dedication to the cause of Bing and your wonderfully reliable articles in the magazine from your Australian perspective.

I've just taken delivery of our early Spring issue and your article there, heavily featuring one of my favourite Bing films, "Rhythm on the River" is a delight. I chuckled when you mentioned upon its 1940 release "Down Under" that the Prince Edward cinema's advertisement plugging Mary Martin's songs, failed to mention any of Bing's vocalised contributions.

This despite our man's then current hit, the classic "Only Forever" featuring and surely what must have been one of Der Bingle's greatest onscreen musical moments, peerlessly performing the title song with such seeming nonchalance, hardware bashing charm and of course ... rhythm.

Please keep remaining one of the regular reasons, Graham for us all to keep subscribing to "Bing" magazine.

The summer edition of BING magazine has been sent to the printers. It will be issued with a facsimile copy of the first-ever BINGANG magazine from 1937.

I am really excited for this issue, and I heard a rumor that there will be another great Sepia release on Bing's KMH songs! 
 

Yes, KMH Time vol. 3 will be available in August. There will be an insert in BING magazine for those who wish to order it. Track details will be in John Mumm's "Keeping Track" article in the forthcoming magazine.
