OK, this is it, the last Christmas share of 2010. We're having our family Christmas tomorrow, so I'll be busy with that all day, and I'm tired of having to work on these things every night. Not only have I tried to post something every day since Thanksgiving, I've been recording these since the beginning of September, so I've been at this for a while. Not that it isn't fun, I enjoy it quite a bit, but I need to take a little break. Don't worry, though, the Christmas should be back in July with Christmas in July. For now, I'm closing with a random record pulled from the leftover stack of stuff. The folder I created for my Christmas vinyl this year has about 1900 songs in it, and as of this record, I've converted a little over 1300 of those to MP3. They only become MP3s when I'm done with the recording and the artwork, so that means I've finished up roughly two thirds of what I started. That's a better average than most years. Much of what I record is stuff that I can't share, since it's on CD or available for legal download somewhere. I enjoy recording all sorts of records, so I usually record what looks interesting then check later if I can share it or not. Now I need to go through and put artwork with all those leftover albums that I've got in there. But this is the last one you'll see, at least for this year. Please have a Happy New Year and download

ReplyDeleteJust as when I was a kid, it is somewhat sad to say good-bye to the Christmas season (yeah, yeah, I know you can keep it in your heart all year round and all that, but the season itself is over). Discovering your blog several years ago has made my adult Christmases so much more enjoyable. Thank you for the wonderful Christmas music you share each year and the information you provide about the artists and their recordings. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteBest to you and the family, Ern - and thanks for all you do each year!
ReplyDeleteErnie, I hope you really enjoy your Christmas with your family and that you know how much joy you have provided for all of us out here in cyberland. I can't wait to see what you have up your (record ) sleeve for next year!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!
All the best for 2011! JohnnyUSA
Thank you so much, Ernie! I am so thankful I stumbled across your blog this year. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI am fairly new here. I discovered your blog just last year and to be very excited to see your love for Christmas music.
ReplyDeletewhich brings me to this 10 inch lp. I bought this same lp from a Goodwill store about 4 years ago for about a dollar because I really like the cover. I looked at the record and seemed to be in ok shape. Not too scratchy but in fine shape. Not till I got this one home did I notince the crack. I tried to play it but chips where along the crack so it skipped quite abit. I figured I would find another one some other time. I still haven't found one till today. Thanks you for this share and all your other shares this Holiday season. Thanks to your blog, I have come to really appriciate Christmas music from yesteryear. Have a great New Years and I look foward to next year.
