Thank you for the program! Sounds good here in NC.
I saw that Bing Crosby Christmas Special. It was when Bowie was a practical unknown in the US. It was a skinny young English guy singing with a skinny old American guy. I've often wondered if they weren't on the same label and they were trying to break Bowie in the States?
