Non-typical, yet evidently Guaraldi Peanuts music

Does anyone know anything about the soundtrack to 'It's the Easter beagle, Charlie Brown' & 'Happy Arbor Day, Charlie Brown'? A fairly extensive late-night search brought me to the conclusion that it is indeed Mr Guaraldi, but I'm wondering if it's Monty Budwig on bass. There's at least one very slab-sounding segment during a Snoopy & woodstock scene.

Should I perhaps check back after the hibernation season?

I have no idea. However, I was a bit depressed over the weekend and listened to the Christmas CD. It's probably better than Prozac.

My kids go bonkers over that one.

IMDB lists Gauraldi in "Original Music by" so definitely his.

Allmusic lists three bassists for the collection Charlie Brown's Holiday Hits:

Monty Budwig
Fred Marshall
Seward McCain

If it's not on the box, I'm not sure where else you'd go to get definitive information. If you really just have to know, you might try writing to Warner Bros. They put out the remastered Easter Beagle.
