73-Scoop Fourteen
The fourteenth scoop, so fourteen tracks, in a pattern that will rapidly be too difficult to continue. Another pretty good scoop of the most recent tracks downloaded and compiled from The Internet...

74-Another New Year
Reaching the end of another month and still sharing holiday music, that's pretty much uncharted territory around here. As happened on the last day of last month, I'm going to share out a handful of New...

75-Sacred & Folky
Wow, it's February! I had no idea that I would make it to February and still be sharing Christmas music. I remember not long after the lockdown began last year, I started downloading and processing...

76-Scoop Number Fifteen
Time for the fifteenth deep dip of the year, and I've come up with fifteen random selections from the collection. Well, maybe not entirely random. I've got a couple of tracks from the same generic...

77-Winter Weather
A big bag of tracks loosely themed around some wintry weather, so you get snow, ice, frost and, ummm, waltzing. OK, it's a loose theme, but at least it's not a complete grab bag. Not a whole lot of...

78-Not Really Christmas 3
A short selection of songs that are just a little too far off the beaten path of Christmas music for me to include them in a regular post. I've done two other similar posts to this one, and the second...

79-Scoop Sweet Sixteen
Well, long story short, this was supposed to be the last official post of the season, but of course I can't stop looking for Christmas music at The Internet Archive every single day. And I found a few...

80-The Last Little Bits
Here we go, the last full post of the season. I had fully intended to end the season yesterday, with what I think is a better post, but then I stumbled across many of the short songs in this post, and...

81-Not At All Christmas
Last post for the year, and it's not even Christmas music. But it is an interesting promotional record from Christmas 1946, and it goes really well with the version from 1947 that I shared a few years...

July The First
It's July! And that means it's time for the annual Christmas in July celebration around these parts. But I don't have things quite sorted out yet, so here's the beginning of a series of stop-gap...

July The Third
Another year in the making, this is a collection of the very best track from my 2007 celebration of Christmas in July. Further reflection tells me that I made a mistake in my post about the 2006...

Hope you folks are enjoying this walk through the long history of Christmas in July here at Ernie (Not Bert). I know it may be boring to those of you who've been around these many years, but it's a...

July The Ninth
July goes a lot more slowly when you aren't trying to rip and post a dozen records a day. Here we are on day nine and it feels like it's been a month already. Not sure how I was able to keep up most...

July The Eleventh
I'm posting late, but I'm still getting this job done. This was probably the biggest collection of music I'd ever shared, a full two CDs worth of Christmas in July, and I think it holds together just...

July The Thirteenth
Well, what can I say about that cover... It's certainly not my favorite I ever did. I think I had just recently finished scanning an album I wanted to share on the Word label, so I just took the record...

July The Fifteenth
Today marks the halfway point of the month, and this is more than halfway through my old Christmas in July collections. Not sure how this is going to end, but planning ahead was never my strong suit. I...

Time for yet another installment of The Best Of Christmas In July from Ernie (Not Bert), this time from 2017. It was a long time ago (even though it turns out I didn't post the collection until last...

July The Nineteenth
What year am I up to? I forget where I'm at. Oh, 2018, says it right there below the TV. Should have looked there in the first place. Another year, another great compilation, but one that really runs...
