The LP Spokane 6, "Happy Holiday" contains a version of "White Christmas" and "Adeste Fidelis" which the sleeve dates to 24 December 1944. In the absence of any other information one way or another (and the real expert, Lionel Pairpoint, seems to be silent on the point), for the present I am listing these as the performances which appear on the record. Valuable as the series is, the identity of tracks listed on the Spokane sleeves is frequently innacurate. I do not have a copy of this particular broadcast.

The show tells the story of Bing's trip to Europe in 1944.
Spokane LP ‘Der Bingle, Volume Four’ Spokane 30 contains the complete programme.

The programme was an hour long extravanganza of a comic-musical dramatization with numerous artists apart from Bing. They included Dinah Shore, Jerry Colonna, Bob Hope, Frank Morgan, Judy Garland, The Andrews Sisters, Jimmy Durante, Frank Sinatra and Cass Daley with the AFRS Orchestra conducted by Major Meredith Willson. There are many musical items, frequently parodies or "skits", many rather short. Bing's musical contributions only are listed.
