Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for January 18, 2022

Variations on a Theme From a Toy Top.

Last Christmas season, I had to show a kid in a nostalgic-type store how to work one of those spinners.

He must have liked that tune !

“I feel like a spinning top or a dreidel. The spinning doesn’t stop when you leave the cradle-” Don McLean.

Pop of the tops!

Duet?

Ok here what I’ve got, “Take it from the Top” and “This one might be tuff to Top.”

This, incidentally, is how PDQ Bach got his start.

I bet somewhere someone’s done this, maybe Eno? lol

Precursor to sampling.

This is classic Schroeder.

Is Schroeder playing Will It Go Round In Circles on his piano?

Backing track!

Do the notes actually mean anything?

Much better now….

I had one with a clear top & a little train track & a train going around in a circle.
