Bing Crosby Laid Back

Some attribute Bing's laid back attitude to smoking marijuana, which he admitted to when it was legal early in his career. In the 1960's and 1970's, he told interviewers that he supported the decriminalization of marijuana.
Whatever the reason, Bing Crosby always portrayed the image of an easy going man and this was amplified by his easy and soothing singing.

During The Civil War a man refused to go and fight. He hid in the swamps of South Carolina, near Charleston, in a little town called Smoaks. He hired two black women to cook and clean for him. He built a house and lived his life there until he died. In his will he left his house and property to the women who, later, sold it to my grandfather, Daniel Moses Crosby.No one ever knew the name of the "deserter".
