Re: Easter with Bing

I enjoyed them, especially the 18 Jan. 1945 show and its reference to the discovery of gold in Australia in 1851 which was about an hour's drive from my home in Bathurst, New South Wales.

Re: Easter with Bing

There aren't too many Easter songs.  Does Bing sing anything Easter themed outside of Easter Parade?
