Bing was probably more American than most Americans, on his father's side going back to the 17th century (originating from England). although he had great grandparents on his mother's side who came from Ireland in the early 1830s. Along the way some of his ancestors were born in Canada.
No he didn't but he did stay at the Cincinnati Netherlands Plaza Hotel (now a Hilton).

There's many songs that celebrate the Christmas holiday. But, unless the record chart history has changed, there's only 1 Christmas song that hit #1 on the charts. That would be pop artist Bing Crosby, with the song "White Christmas." Bing introduced the song to the world by singing it in the movie, "Holiday Inn," back in 1942. Now, many artists in various fields of music, including country, have release Christmas music. Many have been hits on various charts. But, I don't know of anybody that has passed Bing Crosby, in having a Christmas single to hit #1 on any chart ~ including the country charts.
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young-1970
He shot an 85. He suffered a massive heart attack after the last hole and on his way to the club house. Some of his final words were ", 'That was a great game of golf, fellas'".From the AP:MADRID (AP 10/15/77) -- Bing Crosby, 73, whose crooning voice and relaxed humor entertained millions worldwide for half a century, died of a heart attack yesterday after playing a round of golf here. Crosby collapsed after playing a game with three Spanish golf champions at the La Moraleja club and was taken to the Red Cross Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Crosby carded an 85 and won the game by one stroke because of his golf handicap, according to Juan Tomas Gandarias, one of Crosby's partners and a professional golfer. Gandarias, who had lunch with Crosby before the game and walked with him around the course, said the singer seemed relaxed and was joking as he left the 18th hole. "Suddenly he dropped," he said. "Before that he had given no sign of illness although he seemed to be favoring his left arm near the end of the game." Crosby was about 20 yards from the clubhouse when he fell. He was rushed first to the clubhouse infirmary, where a doctor gave him an injection and a pill and concluded that he had suffered "a massive heart attack." U.S. consular officials said Crosby's body would be taken today to the U.S. Air Force base at Torrejon, outside Madrid. An American mortician is being flown in to prepare the remains for return to the United States, they said, and an autopsy is to be performed. The singer, actor and businessman had gone to Spain primarily to relax after a tour of Britain which included a sell-out performance at the London Palladium. He considered the tour a test of his recovery from a back injury he suffered in a fall in March. "I'm still a little limpy, but I want to find out if I can still function after the accident," he said. His last public appearance in the United States was August 13, before about 5,000 people in Concord, Calif. Trudy Berger, the cook at the Crosbys' home in Hillsborough, Calif., said yesterday, "He had been feeling fine. We were expecting him back in a day or two."Mrs. Kathryn Crosby, who married the singer in 1957, arrived home about 2 p.m. and drove slowly up the short incline leading to the estate. Her eyes were red and her face wet with tears.Friends reacted with surprise and sorrow at the news of Crosby's death. "It's a terrible shock to me," comedian George Burns said. "He was one of the greatest. He made it possible for a lot of new singers by introducing a new style. The world is going to miss him." Frank Sinatra said, "The death of Bing Crosby is almost more than I can take. He was the father of my career, the idol of my youth and a dear friend of my maturity. Bing leaves a gaping hole in our music and in the lives of everybody who ever loved him. And that's just about everybody."
When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano was created in 1940.
March 19 every year.
The title is "When the swallows come back to Capistrano." It was the biggest hit song of 1939. Glenn Miller may have recorded it first, but the Ink Spots made a big hit with it. San Juan Capistrano in Orange County, California is one of the 21 Franciscan missions built in California 200 years ago. Legend has it that the swallows always come back from South America on March 19, the feast of St. Joseph.
In the ending of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Bing Crosby said "Man, I am getting out of here". He said this because of all that happened with the headless horseman and he wanted to head back to New York.
They migrate from Argentina taking flight for 30 days and over 7,700 miles to San Juan Capistrano with an arrival date of march 19th. They fly in like clock work n' build their nest of mid. I believe their departure date is October 23rd back the other direction.
