Now and again, I send out messages to those members for whom I
have an email address. I try not to be a nuisance but if I see a Crosby item
that interests me, I share it. However, I’m sure that I don’t have everyone’s
email address and if you are not receiving messages from me, please let me have
your email address and I’ll add you to the list. Jason Liddiard uses the same
list to keep everyone updated about the ICC Online meetings that he
masterminds.
Fallout is an
American post-apocalyptic drama television series
created for Amazon Prime Video. It’s based on the role-playing
video game franchise. Not much to interest a Crosby fan you would think, but it
was very pleasing to note that Bing and the Andrews Sisters’ version of “Don’t
Fence Me In” features in Episode 2 of the series. Following their inclusion on
the Fallout soundtrack, a
number of artists have seen their streaming numbers increase dramatically. Bing’s
monthly listeners on the day of the premiere (April 10) were 1159322. A week
later, they were 1260129, an increase of 100807 (+8.7%). The more people
discover Bing the better, regardless of the source.
Following on from this, I am contributing to the various
Crosby linked Facebook pages on a regular basis in an effort to spread the word
about our wonderful club.
As always, we have an intriguing mixture of articles for
you in this issue. I am constantly amazed at the volume and variety of material
I receive and the last minute decisions I have to make as to what is included
each time is an enjoyable challenge.
Long may it continue!
