Linus and Lucy (Charlie Brown theme)- Vince Guaraldi (1964)

[@Leander-piano]

I put information about this song in the video description but I want to use this comment to thank my subscriber Jeremy Borum who again came from very far away and generously spent his time and energy and expertise working on my piano for over 16 hours!!! He had already worked on it before one day by fixing my broken D key and readjusting many pins and tuning it. Over the course of 2 days he regulated all of the keys, shaped all of the hammers and adjusted them, repaired several broken strings, repaired a crack in the bridge, and wedged the sound board so that it no longer buzzes. It feels and sounds SOOOOOO much better to play. I can't even describe how much. It feels like a brand new piano. I think you will be able to hear how much better it sounds in this video. I am so grateful to Jeremy for helping me this way and being so nice to me. I think it sounds amazing but he said that he did not have time to tune it to his very top standards after making so many adjustments and repairs so if the tuning doesn't sound completely perfect it isn't because he is not a master tuner. It is because he did so many other important things for me. I am so happy that Jeremy fixed my piano. Let me know in the comments if you can hear the difference.

[@SaintBernardEnthusiast]

THIS is the video we’ve all been waiting for… exceptional performance as always! 😊 🎄 Jeremy did a fantastic job as well! You seem overjoyed on camera with your fixed piano, Leander.

[@PartyOf8Please]

Yes, I can hear it! It sounds GREAT! Thank you, Jeremy! You’re a superstar hero, for sure! Thank you for these daily mini concerts, Leander! You bring me joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart!!

[@Gregory47342]

Jeremy Borum is a winner in my book. Much thanks for fixing the piano. The piano can now sound great when Leander plays it.

[@charleskersten3142]

Leander, it sounds much better. Thanks Jeremy for all your work! I think the keyboard looks better too! I will email him a thank you Christmas card too. Enjoyed listening to you tonight. Merry Christmas to you and your parents. Loved it! Mr. Kersten

[@johnbrinkerhoff8792]

Wow, a big thank you to Jeremy. Suspect same model new and on the showroom floor doesn't sound that good.

[@radiohobbyist13]

This boy plays with so much joy in his heart. ❤ 😊👍

[@marjajoosten3017]

[@simo4305]

Oh I love this! Your smile makes me smile 😊

[@marygrummer9189]

That song always makes me want to get up and do those silly dances 😊

[@richardthacker]

It’s heartwarming that your friend Jeremy was kind enough to help you spread your joy. It shows how good things can bring more good things. Your happiness shone through today - and I hope it always will. Great job!!

[@majkus]

It is impossible for a young man your age to understand how profoundly influential this tune was. "A Charlie Brown Christmas" was the first animated portrayal (other than some TV commercials) of the Peanuts characters from the immensely popular daily comic strip-a wholesome picture book using the characters to portray simple pleasures, "Happiness is a Warm Puppy", hit the New York Times best-seller list in 1962, so you know these characters were universally beloved at the time. Ever after that, those characters were always closely associated with a 'jazzy' sound; and a young piano-playing friend of mine around the year 2000 still complained that when people knew he played piano, _this_ was the tune they asked if he knew. It amazes me that people still know these characters.

[@thomasdrew99]

You always bring such joy when you play! I don’t know how you do it, but please keep bringing your music and smile. God bless you, Leander.

[@rogerhunter5404]

The piano sounds great, Leander, and your playing of the song is perfect. That was very kind of Jeremy to repair the piano for you. I know you are grateful to him for his work, and as one of your subscribers and fans, I am grateful to him, too! His work allows you to continue performing for us, so he has given a gift to lots of people this year. I absolutely adore you, buddy, and I hope I will be able to enjoy your musical performances for a long, long time.

[@Leander-piano]

Thank you and I am glad you are grateful that he helped me too I hope your eye is still getting better and that you are having a good Christmas time

[@MoonStar-fq6oy]

[@patsythibault1824]

Thank you Leander! You are so much fun to watch and listen to! May you continue to be blessed and bless! Hugs to you! 🤗

[@JimTancock]

Nice decorations and great playing style Leander. ⭐️👍👏👏👏👏

[@brotoubrotou3164]

The first time Jeremy fixed the D key I thought it sounded like a practically new piano. And now it’s even better.

[@RobertHouben]

The piano sounds lovely! And you're playing is a delight as always!

[@PiotrBarcz]

Kudos to your piano tech! Certain things you can't fix in a piano without a big repair job (like dead bass strings) but hell that piano sounds like it's BRAND SPANKING NEW now apart from that! Nice playing as always, you're almost at 6000 subscribers, that is BONKERS, I hope young folks will take your example and be inspired to do what you've done and make great music!

[@Leander-piano]

Thank you Piotr for encouraging me and answering my questions. You are right it sounds new and also it feels new to play it

[@pascalcoole2725]

Thanks Leander. As you kindly demonstrated, musics connects people so to help each other.

[@asteverino8569]

Merry Christmas 🎄 One of my favorite tunes, played by the one of a kind, Dreaming Piano man.

[@Nannaof10]

Thank you Jeremy!! It does sound much better. I didn't realize it could. 😁

[@Leander-piano]

I also did not realize that it could sound better

[@ralcst-1977]

WOW!!!! I AM SO VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS YOUNG MAN!!!! GREAT PIANO PLAYER, AND HE SEEMS TO ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍

[@leslieladyhawke]

A wonderful childhood memory for me! Thx!

[@rickynewport6339]

Leander, so glad Jeremy got your piano sounding so terrific! I'm glad you played this song as it fits your style so well. Also enjoyed your Peanuts animated figure. I've watched the Peanuts Christmas TV special every year since I was younger than you. I it shares with us the real meaning of Christmas. Thanks so much for beautiful music. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@Leander-piano]

I am glad you liked this song and that you liked to hear it because you like the show. Merry Christmas And I am glad you liked my figures dancing

[@AskMeHistoryStuff]

Congrats on the upgraded piano! Keep the music coming.

[@PeterGregg]

Thanks for a great song, but I am super excited that Jeremy fixed your piano. Way to go Jeremy, you're really invested in a future that is going to soar and I think you know it!!! Special thanks to Jeremy, you are awesome sir 😊 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@gerrievandeven3471]

[@joshbrown588]

I've just woken up and having a coffe when i thiught id see what you wrre playing today. And heard this i thought christmas has truly started for me.Thank you for making it sow. I grew up with Charlie Brown and this piece is the best. Well done.

[@danieloreilly881]

congratulations Leander, because of your talent and hard work you have angels helping you out. The Baldwin has more sustain and the notes sound cleaner. Thanks far away Jeremy.

[@Leander-piano]

Thank you very much. I am glad you can hear that it is better

[@leonhue722]

The piano and Leander are back in form spreading much happiness. Nice.

[@NJP76]

I don't think the smile ever left his face the entire song. Seeing the pure joy in his face has made my day. I had as much fun watching this as he did playing it. That piano sounds great now. I think we know what he wanted for Christmas. He got it, and we all benefit from a great sounding piano with a young master playing it.

[@johannesbruwer4072]

Piano sounds great.

[@TentoesMe]

Lovely, Leander! Thank you, Jeremy!😊

[@tampanativeson]

Thank you Jeremy. You increased our pleasure ten fold. And............Leander, love the new do. You look quite grown up.

[@Leander-piano]

That is because I combed my hair before I made the video

[@geoffmayhew1278]

It was very kind of Jeremy to spend so much time working on your piano. It sounds so much better and it allows your talents to shine even more brightly than before.

[@Leander-piano]

Yes it feels even more fun to play on it now

[@TerryT-x2r]

A treat, as always! And bless Jeremy! 🎄☃

[@rebekahhesketh1220]

My favorite!!! ❤ Nice job, and love your Peanuts figurine! 😊

[@davidbird935]

You are very blessed for Jeremy to sacrifice so much of his time, but like us, he knows you are well deserved of that time and more. Jeremy certainly knows his onions😁

[@skygh]

The piano sounds great and so do you!

[@timadams1994]

Great job

[@jimmc21]

This made my day!!!

[@Robert-hg7ir]

Sounds great Leander. A special shout out to Mr Jeremy Forum. You did a wonderful job getting Leander's piano back on track. You made our young friend very happy. Bless you.

[@Leander-piano]

Yes it makes a huge difference for me

[@hollyavillella554]

One of my very favorites CC and the syncopations are not easy, nor some of the jazz harmonies! Good job! I love your Peanuts music box! I love any music box! I'll be listening to this song many times during the holiday. Have you listened to Ice-skating from this show? That's a pretty song too! Thanks for sharing the songs of the season, Leander! And thanks to your piano tech for helping your piano sound better! ✨❤️✨💚✨🎄🪄🎶

[@MichaelD-gh8go]

I knew your playing was awesome, but your piano really needed a tune up! Thank you for bringing us this holiday classic! 🌲 😊

[@caliom8427]

I'm starting to look forward to seeing and hearing you play everyday! 🙃

[@a.o.424]

Beautiful performance! Merry Christmas Leander. 🎄☃️🎅

[@cynthyb]

The piano sounds great!! Thank you, Jeremy! Your kindness and generosity are felt by all Leander's subscribers. And Leander, you played one of my all-time favorites. I began playing Lunus and Lucy in 1966, and I can even say that I maintained the level of speed with which you played it! So fun to play, and you played it as beautifully as ever! Thank you ♥️!

[@georgefieldsjr.640]

I have Ran out of Words to describe your playing and Love !😂😂😂❤❤❤, Merry Christmas To You, and your family ❤❤❤

[@JaniceHearst]

Fantastic! I listened to my A Charlie Brown Christmas CD while putting up my Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving and every couple days since and I swear I can’t tell the difference between your playing and Vince Guaraldi’s playing! I can hear a difference in the piano - thank you Jeremy. P.S., I ❤ Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the whole gang. I want a music box like yours!

[@chinooksings]

My favorite Christmas song! You are so much fun!!!!

[@kellyadams8235]

I LOVE Linus and Lucy, and you did an excellent job! Wonderful! Thanks Leander!

[@kikivanderwal8283]

Hi Leander I am so happy for you that your piano got fixed by such a nice guy. I listened to an older composition and I definitely hear a difference , it's much clearer now. It really sounds better ! By the way, I love peanuts. They are my favourites. And Lucy loves to hear the piano being played!

[@davidroberts9037]

I have always loved this piece ❤️ thank you playing for us

[@philreeves2404]

Love to hear this one at Christmas time! Thank you for your musical gift! Love your playing.❤

[@nikoknightpuppetproduction369]

I can hear your joy in the way you are playing the piano. Keep up the amazing work and always stay positive.

[@jonjayryzner]

This song has always been a favorite of mine ever since I first heard it as a kid in 1965… “Christmas Time is Here” and “The Great Pumpkin Waltz” were also embedded in my mind early on… Thank you, Leander for playing it so well!

[@Carl-x8y3c]

I liked the Peanuts cartoon characters Charlie Brown etc in my childhood in the 1960s.

[@brucevancamp4498]

Super duper my young friend. You play in the same key as I do. Thank you so much for taking my challenge. You're a super star. It is almost like you are looking right in my eyes while you play. Merry Christmas my friend to you and your family and a Happy New Year. Keep playing. You should do Auld lang syne for News years. God bless the child.

[@PC-ne7xj]

The piano sounds beautiful! You play it well. Your nickname should be "Schroeder" from the Peanuts gang. He is quite versatile and can play many songs just like you! Merry Christmas!

[@rainerxxx546]

You are a really great piano player!!! When you grow up you will definitely be famous!! And your smile...that enchants you and gives your great talent a big bonus!!

Reminder, Adam Swanson will be doing his live Ragtime Christmas tonight on KZbin at 8:00 Mountain Standard time. Adam has listened to you and it very , very impressed! Hope you , and maybe some of your many fans can join us. Looking forward to more of your Christmas music ... and playing your restored Balwin Piano in the New Year.

[@aBachwardsfellow]

HUGE KUDOS TO Jeremy Borum! Thanks Jeremy!-- you're going to become famous as the technician who rescued a young prodigy from a sinking piano! It sounds very good -- much more evenness and fundamental tone coming through from the hammers -- a little less bright, a bit more rich -- almost as though you changed the strike point -- but great hammer voicing to be sure -- nice job! That's about the best I've heard a spinet sound -- sounds much larger! THANK YOU again for all you've been able to do! Leander -- THANKS for playing this! I know that I and several others requested it -- you did a great job with it! The happiness I see tells me that you are sensitive to and aware of good quality sound -- and the improvement in the piano definitely brings it out. I can hardly wait to see your reaction when you finally get to play on a well-conditioned grand piano in a room with great acoustics! You're gonna really love it!.

[@JeremyBorumComposer]

Insider secret: One of the notes in the very recognizable bass line was missing because of broken strings on that and a neighboring note, so the hammer would travel into the void space and hit a neighboring note instead. Today was the first day it was possible to play this song and he wasted no time!

[@aBachwardsfellow]

@@JeremyBorumComposer I did sorta hear something like that happening previously. But you're absolutely correct! He started grabbing all those previously-missing notes with great gusto! We can all see the absolute joy in his playing -- he obviously thrives on musical expression. I can't wait to hear him try out a really nice grand in a good acoustic -- he'll nearly flip out with happiness (as will we all!). Thanks again for everything you did -- that's the best-sounding spinet I've ever heard!

[@rickynewport6339]

Yes, you can tell the difference!

[@longcorker]

Sounds much better!!

[@se2702]

Thank you, Jeremy. Your hard work makes Leander's wonderful presentations possible. And, wonderful again Leander!
