A Jack Off All Trades
NPR story on Vince Guaraldi's jazz soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Christmas. The story notes that this music is somehow perfect for the holiday, but is unable to say why it's so popular. Maybe it's because it doesn't sound like some condescending crap written specificaly for kids. Which is exactly why the special works in the first place. Also a very good interview with Tom Waits, and some songs from his new 3-CD collection.

My name is Chris Oliver. I'm a stand up comic, writer and English (ESL) teacher living in Los Angeles. With my wife, comic Bobbie Oliver, I am the co-proprietor of Tao Comedy Studio. I direct the web series Saving Face (starring Bobbie Oliver and Sally Mullins), host the comedy/talk show podcast Psychedelicatessen Radio (with Bobbie) and host the music podcast Sleestak Lightnin!!!. I was born and raised in Stuart, Fla. (Jensen Beach, to be more precise), a small, beachy suburb north of Palm Beach on the Atlantic coast. Went to LaGrange College in GA. Got married after graduating and moved to Athens, GA. In '97, we moved to L.A. Psychedelicatessen is the name of a band I was in in high school and college.
