That's the magic of Peanuts 😉

Oh, you post 90's child. Life before the internet was simpler akin to childhood. I honestly feel for all of you post-90's children. I feel like you all didn't really get a full childhood experience. As a pre-internet baby (I'm not old! yet...) I also saw very little Peanuts as a kid. As a matter of fact, when I read Peanuts in your OP, I thought, OH yeah, that IS the name of that show. In my mind, it is and always has been Snoopy and Charlie Brown. I had a Snoopy snowball maker that would chip the ice. It had Snoopy in his iconic spot, on the roof of a dog house and you'd put ice cubes in the chimney and crank it so "snow" came out of the doggie door. It was adorable. Yet and still I wasn't watching Peanuts. I'm actually a little on the young side for Peanuts' heyday. I encourage all of you to turn off your glowing rectangle gadgets (yes your cell phone and computer) for a couple days. That restless feeling of boredom will give you space to reflect on life, and stimulate your creativity without an endless supply of cat videos or whatnot to distract you. YOU are a wonderful place to be. Don't be afraid of your own mind. Less influence from the group think machine will allow you to truly form a personality and opinions that are your own. Of course, you are human so those views and stances will change over time but it will be on your terms instead of the group think peer pressure that is way too active on the internet. The iternet is a tool that like any tool is only as good or evil as the one who wields it. I'm so happy for you this song brings you back to that childhood feeling of simplicity. It is a precious feeling in this world today, in a way it just was not in the past. Listen to it often.

We still miss most of that

I remember this song being the first one on the anniversary album, which I would play often on our old combination radio/CD player, for the entire month of December because this album was played for me just after I was developing my interests in music. I’d sit in my dad’s big, fuzzy recliner, lay down on our special red carpet we only brought out for Christmas season, and stare at the twinkling lights and ornaments of the Christmas tree I helped my mom set up. The snow would fall gently and plentifully outside, just the way I liked it, and I could bundle up at any time to immerse myself in the world that only appeared when it was cold (the snow fell MUCH more consistently back then.) Christmas Day was the best. I’d rush downstairs, check my stocking, marvel at the arrangement of presents, and then excitedly open them while my parents recorded me and my siblings on their camcorder. If we were lucky, we’d have made a gingerbread house in the days leading up to Christmas, from scratch, and then we’d tear it apart as we ate it, followed by hot chocolate, sometimes steamed chestnuts. This song will always remind me of those beautiful, long-gone days.

I have loved this song since a child too. I went to see him just to hear this❣️

I crapped me britches.

Now you may loop it to play as many times as you desire. Isn't life grand?

I like both versions.

Oh I do, too. Just prefer this one. @@berrylicious75611

1985

@@EddieMillerStudios 1985? Was that when this was released?

When I was 9 years old I used to memorize a Charlie Brown book.

I do

Jason Carpp i have to agree 100% on that vince wold be proud

***** I agree. He would.

You should check out Gary Hoey's rock n roll version of Linus & Lucy. In all seriousness, Vince would approve of David's rendition.

I personally don't like this one.

Yes, Dave did justice to a number of Vince classics.

It was written in 1964

@@justdiane5 no i know that, I’m talking about the rendition of the song, the instruments they’re using make it sound very 80’s

@@Bondmanproductions I see what you're trying to say

@@justdiane5 this rendition came out either in 1988 or 1989

Ramces Gonzalez This isn't by Thelonious monk or Art Tatum...so no.

Well maybe he is in the top 5 for jazz pianists?

+Ramces Gonzalez Not even close.

Ramces Gonzalez bruh

@@LeeDaniel001 david benoit is indeed one of best pianists to ever live on earth, he is the prince of harmonies in every way.

hell yeah

Oh yeah

I have the Toshiba demo disc from the same era, too funny

whatever happened to Charlie brown it's true Charlie Brown it's a complete failure ruined everybody and he had nothing to do with it as he's the Charlie Brownish all he did is make things worst and sick and he lost his love and everything even he's out of business now his whole world hates him and never be around him and they think Charlie well make things worst or anything some more even he'll never try to kick a football or try to fly a kite again nothings changed and he's just dumb wish'y wash'y failure and anything for life and run away as far away from here as possible and newspapers of Charlie Brown's missing Sally and Snoopy well be crying and life in the house all by themselves and Heather sobs because she loves Charlie Brown now and everybody felt very bad and a miserable lost him sadly Lucy: (yells) I'LL NEVER HAVE THIS CONVERSATION WITH YOU NEVER LET YOU KICK A FOOTBALL I GUESS YOUR STILL STUPID PATHETIC WASTE AND NEVER BE AROUND YOU FOR THIS YOUR ON YOUR OWN DUMB OL CHARLIE BROWN!!!!!!! 😡 Linus: Lucy you okay? Lucy (sobs) leave me alone I'm ruined i had enough to dumb ol Charlie Brown my whole world is a disaster and nothings charged because of him just go without me I'm going sit under my doctor poster for the rest of my life and I'll had this stupid football again. Franklin: oh. Lucy's pretty tired she'll never let Charlie kick a football or treat him anymore even others never treat Charlie anymore have guilt Krampus and his Dark Elves well kidnapped Charlie and everybody coming to find him and apologies and Lucy's angry at Charlie and they honestly think Charlie intended all of this to happened and Charlie stays with Krampus and others now they think or worried that Charlie is gonna get himself killed and Heather heard what happened then coming to recuse him as she's on her way get Lucy, Linus, and Sally mind erase as they'll forgot anything

My favorite version used to play regularly in the NYC jazz station cd 101.9

Really? I think it's better than the original

What the hell was 2 years ago me thinking? This slaps

Agreed

​@@marcweissman5752D Benoit 's version is very good but I still say that V . Guaraldi's original version is " the best" 😉 .
