That is actually a pretty good musical representation of how most Christmas hoopla makes me feel. Of course, like the Peanuts characters, I continue to search for the true spirit of Christmas, every year.

"OK Vinnie, Where's 5" - Frank Zappa

 

Not a single one of them could count to 4.

 

Reminded me of Lester "Roadhog" Moran and the Cadillac Cowboys. The world's worst country music. Terrible tone, out of tune, serious timing issues. At one point the bass player gets turned around , so rather than hit the same note twice to get back, he speeds up until it's right again.

 

Best part - It was the Statler Brothers with some of the best Nashville session players of the day.

 

Absolutely Hilarious!

"In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome.

So God helped him and created woman.

 

Now everybody's got the blues."

No, clearly this band is quite capable.

 

It's like when someone in a TV show sings badly, you listen a bit, and then realize the only way for them to be that bad is for them to be good in the first place.

I was thinking the same thing- brilliant parody as opposed to gross incompetence! :laugh:

The piano player obviously has some chops. It takes a lot of talent to intentionally play that badly.

 

The two references I made are shining examples of that.

 

The total cacophony that is "A Little Green Rosetta"

 

The complete ineptitude shown by players like Vassar Clemons and the Statler Brothers on the Roadhog recordings.

 

Genius

Vincent Anthony Guaraldi was awesome.

 

Peanuts Christmas is always the first Christmus CD I play each year and the one I most often give as a gift.

 

The Peanuts Christmas music book has a permanent place on our home piano
