Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 29, 2013

What Beethoven piece was Schroeder whistling anyway? I’m no good at reading sheet music.

I would like to know how Schroeder can whistle both the right and left hand!!

Peanuts on line? Wow!

“Through the snow up to here…”

Fur Patty?

You mean a miniature Beethoven, P.P.?

One of the greatest directors ever.

Leonard Bernstein?

Yeah, Something like West Side Story

I know a joke that would work very well with today’s strip:

A symphony orchestra was in town to perform Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Before the concert, the bass section asked the conductor if, during the performance, they could go across the street for a drink. There was a lengthy section of the Ninth where they wouldn’t be needed.

The conductor gave permission, and, at the proper time, the bass players left and went to the bar. After several drinks, one of the players said it was time to go back. But the lead bass player told them not to worry, as he had used string to tie together the last two pages of the score.

So, the bass section had several more drinks until they were all pretty well tanked. They went back to the auditorium and, sure enough, the conductor was trying very hard to undo the string so he could see the last pages of Beethoven’s Ninth. And, at this time, the audience members were on the edges of their seats.

Which was only logical. After all, it was the bottom of the Ninth, the score was tied, and the basses were loaded.

Looks like P.P. is calling all the signals……Wonder what happened to “Chuck”?….perhaps he’s trying to recover from P.P.’s kiss?……who nose?

Leonard Bernstein was a famous conductor, I guess.

I liked it.

Couldn’t tell you what Beethoven piece it is, but it seems to be a piano piece (best guess, that.) Can’t tell much more ’cause it seems to be just one bar, no times or keys indicated. One website I checked had scores to 333 Beethoven pieces…too many to wade through to try to find a match…

a lil culture will not hurt you PP.

What you see is what you get, Patty.

LOL xxx

Why.

it was nice that Schroeder was whistling something by Beethoven, eh??!!!!!!!….imagine Benji Molina doing so would the pitcher think he was insane??!!!..Benji Molina is the catcher for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in case some of y’all don’t know

As a fan of “Says You!” on NPR, I wear your comment with pride!
