The Charlie Brown Christmas special created by cartoonist Charles Shultz with music by Vince Guaraldi has to be one of the best known and loved TV creations of all time. I meet kids today who ask for "the Charlie Brown song" and do the "head dance" in their seats at restaurants where I play-- and this is 40 years after its creation! What makes certain songs timeless? Je ne sais pas. Here's a lesser known but still better than average recognized tune from the same show, "Skating"-- followed by my rendition-- which always got more applause than other songs, on average, at Shangri-La, Golden Buddha and George's. I think it must be the 3rds, and the melody.
