Far Away Places- (Bing Crosby Cover)

The inspiration for this came from my good friend Greg (Singingkid). His version melted my heart, and pushed me to try my own take of this classic. Please check his out if you get the chance, it is one of the best around! So thank you GREG! :)

This was written by Joan Whitney and Alex Kramer and published in 1948. Bing Crosby got it to peak at #2 on the charts, and Perry Como at #6 a year later.

Nothing else to say here, the song says it all. Get cozy, and enjoy :)

Yours with love,

Alex

My hero, Bing Crosby, you've done a tremendous tribute to him, or tip of the hat to his style...and kept it true to his memory. BRAVO! Love ya! Great job. As a huge follower of Bing, may I make some more suggestions, or do you take requests?
