I've played Vince's well-known arrangement of What Child Is This on several occasions at my church's annual Christmas concert. The smooth lounge-lizard vibe of the arrangement is about as hip as we're ever allowed to get...

Listening to his music through Charlie Brown may be one of my earliest music memories. A great composer.

The Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack gets lots of play around my house in the weeks before Christmas.


What Child is This is brilliant but I always skip the track where the kids sing (out of tune) Hark the Herald Angels Sing.


I listen to Vince Guaraldi's Greatest Hits all the time. Cast Your Fate to the Wind is a great tune.

"Christmas Time is Here" gets sung during my jr. high choir's Christmas concert every year. I have lots of fond memories of watching the Charlie Brown Christmas with my late grandparents, and a good friend of mine in town (my jazz combo's piano player) found the arrangement for me so I dedicate it to him regularly.

The Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack is THE quintessential Christmas Album.

Oops, had French and Italian mixed up, it's been a long time since I've seen that movie.
Cabelas does have a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun on sale though.

I'd love to get one of those guns oneday.

I picked up the 2 DVD version of the movie. It has some interesting special features about Red Ryder and the infamous lamp (although the interviewer fails miserably at doing a Daily Show style interview). Gonna watch the film on Christmas eve with my family.

You betcha. Linus and Lucy is in my play list year round. For the past month, the piano player at church has been breaking into Oh Christmas Tree during rehearsals.
