Vince Guaraldi

Day 60
#71 – Vincent Anthony ‘Vince’ Guaraldi (1928– 1976). American jazz musician and pianist noted for his innovative compositions and arrangements. Albums include: Vince Guaraldi Trio Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus (1962), A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1964) and A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965).

As he was so well known for his association with the cartoon ‘Peanuts’, this became the starting point. I liked the idea of suggesting a cartoon and after I found this quote, a close crop added interest. Making the end of the speech bubble like a ‘V’ finished it off nicely.
