Description

Voted the most admired man alive in a national poll taken in the 1940s, Bing Crosby was more than a well-beloved singer.  He was a father, a friend, a husband, actor, and an example of goodness to many then and now.. depending on who you ask. Not a Christmas season goes by without hearing him sing the familiar tune of “White Christmas”.  Join us as we take a breath of dead air with the singer Bing Crosby.
