This episode we're dreaming of a white Christmas, because White Christmas singer Bing Crosby was a local.  He's Tacoma born and Spokane-raised. Crosby’s PNW connection is one of the many dazzling details in the book The Sound of Seattle: 101 Songs that Shaped a City. Eva Walker and Jacob Uitti talk to Patricia Murphy about musical influences that came out of our region – especially those that get little cred.
