Take heart folks. The current trend (at least on NPR) seems to be to celebrate an artist's body of work during the centinial year of his birth. Well, Bing would have been 100 next May, 2 so we'll probably hear a lot of Bing on public radio next year.

(Elvis won't reach his 100th birthday until 2035. Unfortunately, that puts the 50th anniversary of his death and the 100th anniversary of his birth just three years apart. Fortunately, it's pretty damned unlikely I'll be around to have to "celebrate" either one.)
