Abbott and Costello
Costello told a joke about Bing on one of their radio shows I was listening too. He said, "I want a Crosby Cocktail."Marlene Deitrech said, " What kind of drink is that?" Lou said, " One drink then BING!" I know I probably didn't quote it exactly. Anyway, did Bing ever appear on the Abbott And Costello radio show?

Re: Abbott and Costello
A little bit unrelated, but I just listened to the radio broadcast Abbott & Costello did a few hours after Lou Costello's son drowned in their pull. It is heartbreaking hearing the show and knowing what Lou was going through.

Re: Abbott and Costello
David, I have that one. Poor Lou. Terrible that baby died like that. He was never the same after he lost his son. Lou was a good hearted man. Watch him on This is your Life on youtube. What a show!

His wife too was never the same and they died around each other. I could not imagine.
