Ludwig van Beethoven was born on this day in 1770. Here’s Schroeder and the Peanuts gang on a Youtube video. At 57 seconds, Snoopy comes on. And again at 2 minutes. Impossible not to smile.

Whenever I think of Beethoven…I think of that Belushi/Newman/Radner skit from the early days of SNL…..anyone else remember that? I think I will find that and post it at SVU later today.
And don’t forget that the Sirius Symphony Hall feed will be celebrating all day today and tomorrow….

I was usually in bed by the time SNL come on. (Still the case today). Would love to see the skit. Will look for it on your blog. I had a feed running most of the morning. Wonderful.

I laughed throughout..Snoopy falling asleep much to Schroeder’s dismay, his happy dance with Linus (which is just the most contagious dance in the world), Schroeder’s laudable intensity and passion in the face of Lucy and the little Red Haired Girl. Sigh, how one has to suffer for his art..

“Money! Who cares about money? This is great music I’m playing. Playing great music is an art. Do you hear me? Art art art art art…”

LOVE IT!!! You knew I would 🙂
So many great moments:
1. “Don’t tell me I’ve grown accustomed to THAT face.” Just saw My Fair Lady a couple of nights ago – this is funny.
2. No one has ever told me I have pretty eyes while I’m playing Beethoven (or anything else) but I’m sure it would unnerve me, too – who knows WHAT effect Beethoven would have at that point?
3. A small glass of Beethoven. LAUGHING! No such thing exists 🙂
You’ve totally made my day, Dave.
