Bob Pasch is an avid Bing Crosby collector. Today his world class collection contains hundreds of unique items including Bing’s first recording, an ice cream container featuring Bing’s picture, and an original lobby poster and hat from the movie White Christmas. His most treasured items are personal items presented to him by Crosby Family members.
Bob continues to build his Bing Crosby collection which has been featured
in several newspaper articles and television newscasts along with his
unique career. Through his collection, Bob has studied Bing Crosby's
career, his mannerisms, and his approach to a song becoming an expert
on Bing’s life and career which is incorporated in his show presentation.
Bob’s many performances include theater stage shows, ballrooms,
dinner theaters, and a variety of special event functions. Christmas
2006 was spent on tour in Australia where Bob performed at the Crown
Plaza Casino, Melbourne, opening for their Christmas Spectacular followed
by several performances in their Palm Showroom.
Among his many memorable performances was appearance as a featured
performer in May 2003 at Bing's 100th Birthday celebration. This international
event was held at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, and was
followed by performing on several occasions over the next two years
with Kathryn Crosby, Bing’s widow, in special tribute shows to
her late husband. Another highlight in his career was singing "White
Christmas" at Soldier's Field in Chicago, Illinois, at the half-time
show for the Chicago Bear's play-off game in 1994 in front of a sell-out
crowd of 68,000.
Bob Pasch and his wife, Lenora, had the opportunity to meet Bing's
close friends, Rosemary Clooney and life-long friend, Bob Hope. They
also visited at length with Maxine Andrews of the Andrews Sisters who
recorded several recordings with Bing including his first gold record.
Bob Pasch says, "My greatest pleasure is helping to keep Bing's
music alive and bring back memories for those old enough to remember
Bing's career and introducing his music to those that are too young
to remember." He considers it an honor to present a tribute show
to this outstanding entertainer of the 20th Century.
