Great thread, Paligap.
"Skating" will always be a favorite of mine. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

These are good, they remind me of the ragtime style by Scott Joplin. Maybe I'll learn how to play them this summer (I play by ear but have no discipline to sit down and learn) | |

Awesome! Love this music and Snoopy and the Peanuts gang!
Charles Shultz was awesome!
The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

It's so rare to see these guys on video, actually playing--I found footage of Vince Guaraldi performing with freqrent collaborator, Brazilian Guitarist Bola Sete, in 1963:

Skating is my fav, I was drawn to it even as a child first hearing it. It always brings happy tears to my eyes.. | |

In 1963, Vince Guaraldi and Ralph J. Gleason (co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine and the Monterey Jazz Festival) collaborated on a film that offered a unique perspective on how Vince’s classic song “Cast Your Fate To The Wind” crossed over from the jazz world to the pop charts, and influenced the next generation of American music.
Unavailable for more than 40 years, this rare footage has been lovingly restored in high definition and fully expanded to continue Vince’s story through the 1960s and 70s – from his remarkable scores for the Peanuts animations, to the groundbreaking Jazz Mass at Grace Cathedral, and his legendary appearances at the Hungry i, the Trident, El Matador and the Monterey Jazz Festival.
Featuring previously unknown Guaraldi filmed performances (recently discovered from private collectors) plus rare, unpublished studio recordings from Vince’s personal library, The Anatomy of Vince Guaraldi is a feature-length musical feast – including intimate comments and original performances from some of America’s most celebrated cultural legends (Dave Brubeck, Dick Gregory, George Winston, Jon Hendricks, etc.).
Produced by award-winning filmmaker Andrew Thomas and Ralph Gleason’s son and jazz historian Toby Gleason, The Anatomy of Vince Guaraldi was presented as a work-in-progress at the 2009 Monterey Jazz Festival to overflow crowds. The BluRay / DVD package and soundtrack will be available in 2011.

I figured you'd get a kick out of that one. Cast Your Fate To The Wind is on my favorite instrumentals of all time list.
