You know..I don't think I had the chance to tell you..I only got to see your Father sing a solo once.. it was on a rerun of the Ed Sullivan Show..and he had such a great clear sound..he sang in the style of Sammy Davis Jr..except he sang it better than Sammy did. You have a very long line of Talented relatives..congratulations..keep going..you've got that same talent..use it where needed..and don't spare the horses..sometimes society puts in the wrong position to reap the benefit of our own hard labor..being your own Producer helps even the odds. The greatest Artists of our time..were Independent producers first...and last and they did very well..and if not..atleast they were satisfied that they got a taste of the success that they sought.
The list of Independent producers Stars is long..
James Cagney, The Marx Brothers, Charlie Chaplin Harold Loydd, Laurel and Hardy, Harry Langdon, and so many Big Band Leaders and Singers that the list includes your Grand-Father and your Grand-Uncle Bob and Frank Sinatra.
Phil Crosby Jr. man,... you Cats are... Jazz history! We hope you Swing bigger and brighter your dad or any of his Generation. The World is your Oyster...But leave it to the Rabbi's to worry if Oyster's are Kosher or not.
Your New friends,
Suzuki Beane and the New Classic Jazz Orchestra and Trio's TM

Hi again Phil. Thanks for your friendship. "Baby It's Cold Outside" Listening and not knowing who was singing I thought that sounds like Bing!!! Its great you are bringing back some of his music!!! I sang White Xman last holiday time. It is a special song!!! Enjoy your weekend in music and song. Nice to meet you, and please stay in touch. LOVE AND PEACE, Julian Sage.
It was a pleasure meeting you in NYC as well, and great to hang out during my gig at Helen's. I also hope we'll do something together in the future, and I wish you loads of luck, continued success. Stay in touch and keep me posted on all your stuff...
Hi Phil!
When is your annual Christmas show? Scott and I look forward to it! Let us know, and hey I agree with Seth's comment - we need the album!

Oh Mr. Crosby! How long I have waited to hear you sing! I really hope that someday we can meet. You have a higher voice than your grandfather, and fortunately, have not taken up that new-crooning style. I like the way you sing.
