    My eyes swell with tears everytime I hear this song by either Vince G trio or Jerry trio. Putting away Christmas decorations and still listening to Christmas songs. Such deep heartfelt memories of a childhood long past. Im 67 now....nearing the end for sure. More beautiful past memories than future memories for sure. Loved my innocent and safe childhood.

    The brushes always reminded me of walking through deep snow on a winter's night. The tempo is perfect and the constant touch of the brushes swishing on the head while caressing the cymbals is comforting. It reminds me of walking on a snowy night in the winter in the little country town I grew up in. Wonderful!!!!!
    Thank you, Jerry. I know you're looking down and smiling on the effect you have on us who enjoy your music.

    As many times as I've heard this song, from the original broadcast to now, I can't listen to this without tearing up, so many memories come to mind. This is even more special seeing the original drummer performing on such an icon song, it's not Christmas without hearing this at least once during the holidays.

      I lived in a "Charlie Brown town" in the country and this reminds me so much of walking safely at night through the snow with my friends, having the same kinds of conversations that Charlie Brown and his friends had. I lived in the right place, at the right time, with the right friends. Where would we be without the memories of Peanuts and these songs?

      Don't blame the bass. It's perfect. The acoustics of the stage are terrible.Been there, done that. With the proper setup, this would sound much better. I played drums with these same acoustic instruments and the sound could come out a hundred different ways. These guys are wonderful!
