ReplyDeleteRobert Gordon, The Payolas, Count Basie, George Shearing, Mike Douglas, Frankie Lymon, Glenn Yarborough and Kermit....oh, Kermit Leslie, not the frog, never mind. But the rest of that is one helluva a lineup for a "Second Best" collection.
ReplyDeleteHi Ernie,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these covers. They are making your collections even better. I was wondering where they came from. I would love to see them in a separate collection without the cover text art. So far, I have collected all 7 of them. Also, I am making a massive playlist to enjoy later once you have completed these wonderful sets. Thanks for doing these. I always thought to myself how great it would be if you offered an additional selection of the Best of Christmas in July.
I am also collecting the Redu collections too. Thanks for these updates.
Will you be offering missed Best of Christmas in July playlists for the forgotten years?
These would be 2013, 2014, and 2016. I seem to remember there were no Best of July collections for the years 2020 and 2021.
Anyway, I thank you again for all your hard work. I wish you and your loved ones all the best. Take care of yourself, and stay on your health improvements as I know it is hard work.
Bryan
Ernie, I'm a big fan of the covers you're sharing. It takes the experience up another notch, and we're already WAY UP on the scale.
ReplyDeleteThe care, time, and top-tier quality you're bringing to us is priceless. We are all tremendously fortunate that you choose to freely share your expertise.
For me, year in year out since '04-ish, your ongoing efforts bring cheer and heart to our shared experiences. The volume of work you have created is now and will be appreciated beyond any sense of comprehension.
Thanks all for the kind comments. Good to know someone is paying attention. :)
ReplyDeleteBryan-If you poke around in the July archives from last year, I posted all the old best-of collections, including a new one for 2020. And the one from 2021 hasn't been made yet, but keep your eyes on this space... :) And some of those years didn't get collections because I didn't have any shares.
MOQ-I think I started the blog in 2005, and didn't start sharing until 2006, so that's as far back as I go. :)
