I like Vince Guaraldi just fine and we listen to it every Christmas.
But I thought al gore’s amazing internet had everything. I remember watching a cartoon over and over again called ‘winter sports’. I can’t find it. I found that it was by Mel Leven. But I can’t find the video.
Winter sports. Winter sports.
Throwing snowballs. Building forts.
When the weatherman reports.
Lots and lots of snow.
Anybody remember this?

I greatly enjoy Guaraldi’s music, especially the work he did for the Peanuts shows. But there’s another reason I think fondly of VG, and that he introduced the U.S. music world to one of my favorite Brazilian guitarists, Bola Sete. The two of them recorded some fine numbers. Here’s a 1963 set recorded live and filmed.

The link I posted at 7:40 is a half hour long and contains some yakking. If you want to hear a Brazilian guy with a classical guitar (wide flat fretboard, fingers only, no amplification) do a hard-to-believe job of a Dizzy Gillespie number (sorry, don’t remember the name), click here.
Bola Sete had come to the U.S. and was “discovered” by Gillespie and Guaraldi almost 60 years ago playing in a San Francisco bar.

I really like George Winston’s version of Cast Your Fate To the Wind.
I just created a Vince Guaraldi playlist on Spotify.
This may be what I need to stay mellow during my morning and evening rush-hour commutes!
I cant remember a time when i didnt love his style.
I have some Vince Guaraldi CDs. I find it enjoyable to listen to.
Probably one of my favorite songs ever, not just for Christmas.
…..Lucy or Peppermint PattI ?….
David Benoit can carry Vince’s jockstrap;
