Cool New Peanuts CDs

Vince Guaraldi's estate has released two new CDs of his Peanuts television special music - cool underscore stuff from the early to mid '70s. Since Mr. Guaraldi scored sixteen of them, there's still plenty of great cues out there!

You'll hear music from A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, There's No Time For Love, Charlie Brown; You're A Good Sport, Charlie Brown; You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown; It's A Mystery, Charlie Brown, It's The Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown and Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown.

The cues I think you'll recognize the most are Little Birdie, Peppermint Patty, The Thanksgiving Theme, Joe Cool, Woodstock's Dream, and of course, Linus and Lucy.

You can buy them for $16.95 each at the Vince Guaraldi website, or buy them for $14.45 each at the Charles M. Schulz Museum's online store. If you're actually near Santa Rosa, you can (and should!) stop by the museum and buy both CDs together in a 2-disc boxed set. Sweet!

PS - I went there yesterday, and there's lots of other cool new swag at the museum store, too - show your support and pick some up!

Don't forget the store next door at the Ice Arena! A bigger selection of Peanuts merchandise you are not likely to find in one place.

My fave item from there was the cloisonne enamel pin with Snoopy driving the zamboni!

It's true! I found a great T-shirt sporting a late '60s/early '70s drawing of flying ace Snoopy!
