I woke up this morning to the sound of this on my clock radio:

Sooo... autumn-y. I moved out some furniture today to gain breathing space in my little room. I raked leaves. It rained. I sent out a resume. I spent an hour staring out the window. I walked the dog and ran across a huge floundering fish in the creek. Now I'm beer buzzed and listening to Vince Guaraldi again.

No complaints.

1. That piece is definitely on the short list of my all-time favorites.

I especially love the George Winston version, maybe because of the memories associated with it.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

2. good point about the memories

I love it just for the way it is. But then again I always thought Guaradli never got the recognition he deserved as a pianist and arranger, but was always remembered as the guy who wrote 'Linus and Lucy' And to be honest... being a little kid in the early 70's with all the charlie brown specials.... that was a pleasant memory!

3. My dad bought the record and played it a lot on our Hi Fi get up....

4. Your dad had good taste

or at least a fine ear for what was 'progressive' (lol) at the time!
