Elliott Klassen (Linus) and Jerry Granelli, 2019

Courtney and Robyn Klassen sang at Christmas Present tonight - if you were there, you won't forget Robyn's O Holy Night that closed the show. Well, they were really paying attention to the Flanagan reading about the Charlie Brown Christmas Special. After the show I found out why.

Some years ago, their son Elliott played none other than Linus in a very special stage production of the Charlie Brown Christmas show. The production featured Vancouver-area school children and the accompaniment of a top jazz combo led by Jerry Granelli - the drummer from the original Vince Guaraldi Trio that recorded the music for A Charlie Brown Christmas!
