>> “who also supplied the voice for Snoopy.”

???

An occasional "Blech!" or "Arrrrooooo!". I think he also did a "Baa!" while trying out for one of the sheep in the Christmas play.

Dittos. “A Flower Is A Lonesome Thing” and “Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus” are wonderful albums. But he’ll always be remembered as the “Charlie Brown” guy.

“The half-hour special aired on Thursday, December 9, 1965, preempting The Munsters and following Gilligan’s Island”

My how prime time has changed!

Thank God for Linus and the Gospel of Luke! (not in that order!)

I’ve always loved this show, and now I watch it with my sons. And the soundtrack is one of my favorites, Christmas or otherwise.

And...we also have A Charlie Brown Christmas. (Believe it or not...I miss the Dolly Madison comercials....)

I believe that the combination of the stories "It's A Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Carol" have a spiritual magic together. A philosophy of creation that you just feel and know in your heart.

Every single life has a meaning and purpose for the good of all and the Redemption of that life is always available. No matter what.

Because God made it so.

Since Vince’s passing, the torch seems to have been taken up by David Benoit.

“A Flower is a Lonesome Thing” is wonderful.

Mrs Biased thinks I’m goofy listing to him...

I guess I am
