When listening to Vince Guaraldi


...you must do your favorite Charlie Brown dance. Personally, I like the twins.

I've not seen the animated version, so I'll do the only one I know from the strips, the good old Snoopy Dance.

I have to get a copy of this. I keep missing it when it's on TV. Since I don't watch much TV. I do love Vince G and have a couple of his Cd's

Dive, you really have to see this one, especially given your warm approach to the Christian holiday. And Snoopy does some pretty fancy stepping in it.

Rich, it's interesting to see it on broadcast TV with commercial breaks because that's how it was designed, but it is always better straight through.

Sassy, so do you do the twins dance or the Snoopy dance?

I do a Sassy dance, which is a combination of the two.

I've wanted to see it for decades; it's just never on the four poxy channels my old TV can pick up …

My favorite dancer is the girl in the berry-colored dress right next to the bass-playing Pigpen. I've made a study of their different dance styles and I can do hers really well. Look at Linus up there though -- he is bustin' a move.

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations.

The Ultimate Storyteller—in Life AND in Death

I wrote about The Autobiography of Mark Twain in yesterday's edition of Small Town Newspaper. You can read it here , if you want. This is the photograph I had in mind while I read Clemens' dictations. He really was a masterful storyteller, even when rambling on about the poorly designed door knobs in Florence or in describing the Countess Massiglia, who he described as a "pestiferous character." About her, he said, “She is excitable, malicious, malignant, vengeful, unforgiving, selfish, stingy, avaricious, coarse, vulgar, profane, obscene, a furious blusterer on the outside and at heart a coward.” And I laughed out loud.
