Description
Shiny and very clean.
Would be NM- if not for a couple small factory? flaws by outer edge (only heard a few ticks) so VG++.
Probably only a few made as a gift for John W. Galbreath and family. Bing was their great friend and business partner. Could have even been a surprise for them - just don't know.
It mentions Bing's wife Kathryn, John Galbreath's wife Dorothy, Darby Dan estate of course and the great hospitality there including dining and lodging, flying in a Gulfstream G-II jet from Columbus (or could have been from the airstrip at Darby Dan) to the 1975 Kentucky Derby, betting some $2 tickets at Churchill Downs, drinks at the bar there, the announcer's (in)famous miscall of Foolish Pleasure (when he thought it was Prince Thou Art - the Galbreath's horse - who wore similar colors) when making a move for the final stretch run, and more.
Sung mostly as a ballad with piano accompaniment. A little Mack the Knife-like cadence in places.
Play time is about 4:12. Trail-off area is completely blank - no code at all.
Very Enjoyable and probably a labor of love for Bing showing his appreciation.
BEYOND RARE !
