His performance was unique in being the only program in the Philco series transcribed outside the United States. A hit song of the time was 鈥淗air of Gold, Eyes of Blue.鈥� It began with the words 鈥淚 came down from Butte, Montana,鈥� but Bing changed the lyrics to 鈥淚 came down from West Vancouver.鈥� Before the show, the Squamish tribe made him an honorary member with the title 鈥淐hief under Voice.鈥�
