My favorite version of my favorite hymn. I couldn't find this on You Tube so I searched Dad's LPs and 78s Bing collection and couldn't find the track there either. Then I remembered his 5 Album set he kept in an old XRay box: Musical Autobiography. And there, on Record 2, side 9, last track -- Rock of Ages...
Most of the pics are taken from a concert program Bing gave two weeks before he died, this at the Guildhall in Preston, UK. Dad and Mum's lifetime ambition, to see Bing perform... To the day she died, Mum often spoke about the thrill of hearing live for the first time those first few notes of that wonderful voice in the darkened auditorium...

I will need to edit this video. I'm not happy about the choice of thumbnails offered, so I'll have to remove some pics from the concert program that don't fit the mood of the song...
