Thank you, Malcolm.
JEZW with "The Star Spangled Radio Hour" now seem to be including Bing more regularly than previously. At one time it was mainly Glenn Miller plus another Band, with a very occasional Kraft Music Hall with Bing. Recently each program(me) is almost invariably half and half Bing and Glenn Miller.
Very well worth while the listen. The two announcers also insert informative comment.
The streaming is available for a few days after the date of the broadcast and remains available for two or three weeks.
At present the following are available (precisely as they list them).
THE KRAFT MUSIC HALL
Thursday, December 16, 1943 6:00-6:30 p.m. PWT NBC Hollywood (NBC)
