This may sound cheesy but watching all these Charlie Brown and Peanuts Christmas specials has me thinking that the the Charlie Brown theme music would
sound pretty nice if played on the oud. I think it would take me forver if i composed it myself as I am a beginner but maybe some seasoned players
on the post would like to give it a try. I'll try myself but i hope someone can pull it off, I'll be curious to hear how it comes out.
Anyone up for the challenge?
i will do it ;)

"Good Grief" and Xmas Songs on The Oud
John Erlich - 12-15-2004 at 01:06 PM
So funny about the Peanuts theme, "Good Grief" on the oud: I believed I was the only weirdo oudist in the world who played this--even as a
joke! It's easy because the bass line matches my open-string tuning (C-G-A). Actually, Vince Guaraldi (http://www.vinceguaraldi.com/), who wrote and performed most of the Peanuts sounds tracks was a pretty good legitimate jazz pianist.
On the subject of Xmas songs on the oud: I always thought "The Little Drummer Boy" could really rock with a strong malfouf or khaliji
beat.
Some of the best Christian Middle Eastern music has been recorded by the Lebanese Maronite nun, Marie Keyrouz. Check out her web page, where you can
hear samples: http://www.keyrouz.com

Hello John. Merry Christmas to you too. When you say "Eastern Christian" do you mean Orthodox?
ElieJohn Erlich - 12-16-2004 at 12:41 PM
Hi Elie,
I said "Christian cousins" because I'm Jewish. I noted "Eastern" Christians, which I believe includes Greek Orthodox,
Eastern Catholics, Greek Catholics/Melechites, Maronites, Assyrians and Chaldeans, Copts, etc. because I feel a special affinity for them.
Happy Holiday,

Well, happy Hannukah John. We are all related regardless of religion.
