28-Christmas Morning
The big day is finally here! I've scheduled the share today for early in the morning so that everyone who wants it can grab it and still have the day to enjoy. Not sure if anyone will care or even...
View Article03-You Meet The Nicest People-33 RPM
It may be a little after Christmas, but the records keep coming! And now it's time for the third installment of Christmas singles from 33 RPM records instead of 45s. You'll notice they all have the...
View Article29-The Night After Christmas
Yes, it's the day after Christmas, or Boxing Day if you prefer, but I feel like I'm just getting started! Thanksgiving was so late in the month this year, there weren't very many days between then and...
View Article30-(We've Got) Christmas On Our Mind
I think the theme of the day is duets. I see quite a few of them in the playlist, though some of them may be a vocalist and an instrumentalist with equal billing as opposed to the usual vocal duet. I...
View Article31-Space Age Santa Claus
Here we go with one of the best themes of all, unfortunately I think it's the one I had the fewest songs for. It's all sorts of songs about Santa that involve space travel somehow. We've got a few...
View Article32-Snow Dreams
Dunno know about where you live, but in Florida today there is a 100% chance of snow, so long as you download this batch of songs. It's all about snow and snowballs and snowmen and snow flakes and...
View Article33-Thank You God For Santa Claus
The theme today was supposed to be Christmas songs that confused those two icons of Christmas, Santa and Jesus. Over the past year I've noticed a few songs where little kids pray to Santa Claus for...
View Article34-New Year's Eve Party
Last day of the year! We made it! And what a year it's been. Best thing that happened was getting married after being a lifelong bachelor for the first fifty or so years. The worst thing that happened...
View Article35-New Year Rock
It's late in the day so I'm sure I won't be the first, but Happy New Year to you and yours! Hope you're doing well today, not too hung over and out of sorts. I've got some more New Year's songs for...
View Article36-Ski Ride Polka
The holidays are over, but the fun continues. Today we're going skiing with a double handful of songs all about the winter sport that seems to involve a lot of falling down. At least that was my...
View Article37-Santa You're A Hippy
I really, really, really wanted to create a collection of songs accusing Santa of being a hippy, but they're fewer and farther between than I thought. I've only got a couple in here and I only know of...
View Article38-10 Days After Christmas
Not sure there's a theme to the collection today, I just wanted to make sure I got the title track shared out on the right day. It's ten days after Christmas, right? I double checked the math a few...
View Article39-Swingin' Sleighbells
The theme of the day is bells! Sleigh bells, jingle bells, Christmas bells of all sorts. Too many variations on Jingle Bells than I wanted to use, but I wanted to get some variety in there. Could...
View Article40-Sock It To Me Santa
Near as I can tell, today is the twelfth day of Christmas, AKA Epiphany, AKA Little Christmas. It's the end of the season officially, but I've got a little surprise for you. It's not the end of the...
View Article41-I Fell Out Of A Christmas Tree
How about a big batch of songs about Christmas trees? That's what I've got for you today, and I think it's almost the whole 45 tracks this time. Well, almost, but not quite. I'll have to hunt for a few...
View Article42-Sleigh Ride Kisses
I'm struggling to remember what the theme is with this share today. The title song is part of a minor theme of wordless vocals that I put together, but there are only about three or four tracks in that...
View Article43-Kanaka Christmas
Potluck is what it says by my notes for today's theme. I think that's not entirely true as I managed to squeeze in a few Hawaiian Christmas records that sorta go together, but beyond that I don't see...
View Article44-The White World Of Winter
This is the collection that took me the longest to put together of all the playlists this season. I tried to grab one song for each and every year for the oldest record I had to the newest. So you get...
View Article45-It's Christmas Time
Well, this is where it all ends, sort of. 45 days of 45 songs from 45 RPM records. That sort of wraps it up nicely, don't you think? I say 'sort of' because I have a few bonus things to share after...
View ArticleChristmas Bonus 1
As I was saying, yesterday was supposed to be the end of the Christmas sharing. I had most of that recorded early in the year and it was all pretty much in the can by October. As the sharing season...
View ArticleChristmas Bonus 2
The fun just keeps coming, halfway into January! Lots of new tracks here today as well as some boring versions of time-worn classics. I see I even wound up with two tracks from the same artist, which...
View ArticleChristmas Bonus 3
Welcome to day three of the bonus round here at Ernie (Not Bert)! It's also day 48 of regular sharing around here, so it's been a really long season. Turns out it's not a record though. The record was...
View ArticleChristmas Bonus 4
I wish I'd had all these newer records when I sorted all the other records into themes. I'd have loved to get the UFO record above into the Space Age Santa group. There are plenty of other records in...
View ArticleChristmas Bonus 5
This is the last collection of Christmas singles I have for you this season made with new finds (there is one more completely superfluous collection of stuff tomorrow if you're feeling up to it...
View ArticleThis Is The End, My Friend
There doesn't seem to be any consensus on who coined the phrase "All Good Things Must Come To An End." I thought it was Shakespeare, but he didn't. Chaucer wrote something fairly close, but not in so...
