Bowie: Hello... you the new butler?
Crosby: Hahaha! Well,
it's been a long time since I've been the new anything!
Bowie: What's happened to Hudson?
Crosby: I guess he's changing
Bowie: Yeah, he does that a lot doesn't he?
Umm... Oh, I'm David Bowie. I live down the road.*
Crosby: Oh!
Bowie: Sir Percival lets me use his piano
when he's not around. He's not around, is he?
Crosby: I can honestly say I haven't
seen him, but come on it! Come on it!
Bowie: But uh...
Crosby: Come on in!
Bowie: Are you related to Sir Percival?
Crosby: Well, distantly...
Bowie: Oh, you're not the poor relation from America, right?
Crosby: Ha! Gee... news sure travels fast, doesn't it? I'm Bing
Bowie: Oh, I'm pleased to meet you. You're the one that sings, right?
Crosby: Well, right or wrong, I sing either way
Bowie: Oh well, I sing too
Crosby: Oh good! What kind of singing?
Bowie: Mostly the contemporary stuff.
Do you uh... do you like modern music?
Crosby: Oh, I think it's marvelous! Some of it really fine.
But tell me, have you ever listened to any of the older fellows?
Bowie: Oh, yeah, sure. I like ah...
John Lennon and the other one with eh... Harry Nielson
Crosby: Mmm.you go back that far, huh?
Bowie: Yeah, I'm not as young as I look
Crosby: Haha! None of us is these days
Bowie: In fact,
I got a six year old son and he gets really
excited around the holiday Christmas holiday-thing
Crosby: Do you go in for any of the
traditional things in the Bowie household, Christmas time?
Bowie: Oh, yeah, most of them really. Presents,
a tree, decorations, agents sliding down the chimney...
Crosby: What?
Bowie: I was just seeing if you were paying attention
Crosby: Haha!
Bowie: Actually our family do most of the
things other families do. We sing the same songs
Crosby: Do you?
Bowie: Oh, I even have a go at 'White Christmas'
Crosby: You do, huh?
Bowie: And this one. This is my son's favourite. Do you know this one?
Crosby: Oh, I do indeed, it's a lovely thing
