Keeping It Current


Crosby was one of the first singers to exploit the intimacy of the microphone rather than use the loud, penetrating vaudeville style. – Wikipedia


Bing Crosby crooned

Un-autotuned

Across the radio dial,

But wasn't shy

To amplify

His gentle casual style.


It pays to check

Out current tech,

And use what's worth your while.
