I thought that perhaps one way of approaching this was by trying to think of two people who at first thought shouldn't have any kind of link at all except for a last name, and then plotting a route between them. If you are reading this, it means it might have worked. Ok, lets see how we can link those Crosby boys, David and Bing! Each link will feature someone who has recorded with the act before. A warning: We are travelling a scenic and sometimes even bluesey route on this one.
