“Pebble Beach” by the Vince Guaraldi Trio from A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1964).
In honor of Sunday Jazz, I have come up with a list of “Peanuts TV Specials, If Charlie Brown Were Jewish That My Dad Would Surely Forward To Me In An E-mail”:
1. Mazel Tov, Charlie Brown
2. It’s Sukkot, Charlie Brown
3. You’re Kosher, Charlie Brown
(Franklin probably wasn’t Jewish.)
4. It’s Your Bar Mitzvah, Charlie Brown
5. Happy Tu B’Shevat, Charlie Brown
6. It’s The Great Matzo Ball, Charlie Brown
(Pigpen isn’t parve.)
7. A Charlie Brown Yom Kippur
8. You’re a Real Mench, Charlie Brown
9. She’s a Shiksa, Charlie Brown
10. Oy, Charlie Brown
(Can you name one Jewish football player, Charlie Brown?)
Enjoy, Dad.
