A To Z (Not Q Or Z) 2007

As the time came to prepare for the 2007 sharity season, I wanted to find a good way to highlight some of the stuff I've shared out over the previous two years. I thought about putting together a best-of of some sort, but then I thought better of it. I like most of the tracks and albums I share, so how could I ever hope to distill down all of my shares into a single collection or two? So then the idea hit me. Why not get other folks to do it? Well, this is your invitation. Who out there would like to do a collection of stuff from my two years of sharing? There are about 120 albums, miscellaneous singles, two different Christmas In July celebrations, and who knows what else. If you'd like to put together something, please drop me a line. I can't guarantee to share out everything I get, but I'll certainly do the best I can.

To give you an idea what I'm looking for, let me present this first collection of Ernie (Not Bert) shares, A To Z (Not Q Or Z) 2007, assembled by Friend-of-the-Blog Steve! You can download this collection here, and you can find links to all the tracks below. If you think you could put together a great collection like this, please let me know! You don't even need to come up with a great theme like this one, but it helps. Steve didn't have any artwork, but you're welcome to put something together for that as well. Don't be shy, put that brainpower to good use this yuletide!

Note: Yeah, there are a couple of ringers in this list that I had to send to Steve to fill out the alphabet, but that's the spice that makes this compilation worth downloading. Also, there are a couple of things here that are not shared out anymore, so this may be your only place to get those tracks. Thanks again, Steve, for putting together this great compilation!

PS-The only Q I could think of would be Quiet Christmas, and Z might be 'Zat You, Santa Claus. But I never shared out anything like those, so my goal this year is to find tracks for those letters. Stay tuned!
