Vince Guaraldi died at age 47 in 1976. He was a great jazz composer and it was a shame for him to die so young.

Sorry about ur childhood.

This one really bummed me out a lot....

Don LaFontaine

I do a very good impression of him doing movie trailers. His voice was outstanding. I wish I could do what he did and make the kind of money he made doing it. The guy made millions and would sometimes do 36 different voice-over spots in a single day.

Shawnee123 · 09-04-2008, 09:59 AM

Oh, I heard that too Radar. That is "the" voice!

I remember a Janeane Garofalo bit where she talked about movie trailers all starting with "In a world..." and she mimicked his voice.

He had a nickname.... "The voice of god"

Vince Guaraldi has been dead for a long time:

Well, that explains why I couldn't find anything on him, I was spelling it wrong!

Well, then, my childhood is officially over. Good thing I still act 12 years old most of the time.

Elspode · 09-04-2008, 01:55 PM

Couldn't you act at least 17? Lusting after 12 year olds is kinda sick.

dar512 · 09-04-2008, 02:03 PM

When people ask how old I am, I tell them that I'm 54... but I act like I'm 12, so I figure it averages out somewhere in my 30s.

Hey pat? most of us find lusting after 17 year olds kind of creepy too. even drax thinks so. possibly for the opposite reason though.

I fell in love with Paul when I saw Cool Hand Luke for the first time. It was on TV, so it couldn't have been 1967. His eyes were so beautiful. Such a marvelous talent.

Here was a great, great man: he wound up giving about $250 million to charity through his Newman's Own brand.
