Tradition…tradition!
Heads-up: It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is on tonight. This is one of the classics–one of the great ones from that first 10 years of Bill Melendez’s beautiful transfer of Charles Schulz’s comic strip to animation.
It just doesn’t get any better than this. One of my favorite scores by the Vince Guaraldi trio, too–I have three different versions of the main theme (“The Great Pumpkin Waltz”) and I don’t think I could choose between them if I had to make a list of those “Desert Island Discs.” They’re all completely different and I love them all.
