Used Music From 2007

Two years ago, back in the heyday that was 2007, I made a compilation for you over the Thanksgiving-Christmas sharity season. One track a day for 31 days. I don't know now how I did it, trying to get all of my album shares up, plus a track a day for this (and a track a day for a second comp that I hope to reshare soon). I think there must have been two of me back then. Anyhow, I dug out an old hard drive today to see if I could find this collection, and sure enough, there it was. And surprise, surprise, there was the Photoshop file I'd created as a cover! I thought I'd lost that in the big hard drive crash. It's not much of a cover, but it's a nice idea. I cribbed most of it from this old share (which reminds me, I should reshare that album out...). I did have to find little pictures of all those artists and add them in. Let me see if I can remember who I put in there... From the upper left, I think that's Les Baxter, Peggy Lee, The Lennon Sisters, Marlene Dietrich, Claudine Longet, Dorothy Collins...Second row, Danny Kaye, Tex Ritter and The Ames Brothers. Third row, Wait, that's Les Baxter, Patti Page, Bing Crosby. And the bottom row-Jerry Collona, Fred Waring, Anita Kerr and Maurice Chevalier. So who's that upper left? Oh, Les Brown. Now, if you want some bonus points, tell me where I found all those pictures. No, really, tell me, 'cause I forgot! Anyhow, click on any of the names in the tracklist below and it will take you to the day I shared that track and tell you a little bit about it. All of the songs were pulled from old vinyl compilations put together and sold by various department stores or tire companies, grocery stores, records labels, etc. That's why I called it a compilation compilation. Actually, the full official name is Used Music-The Thrift Store Christmas Compilation Compilation (Ernie (Not Bert) 2007). Enjoy! Hmmm, figures. I've got Deck The Halls on here twice, as well as We Three Kings. I don't think I could put together a proper comp if my life depended on it.
