Greetings, it is I, the Count.

Hey guys, I'm trying to see if anybody can help me by answering the following questions about some characters.
1 What's the name of the African-American girl or woman who assisted Linda at the Sesame Street Library?
2 What's the name of the Scottish collie opera singer muppet who tried to get Bob to be her new piano player?
3 Is Lefty the name of the Salesman? I always thought his name was The Salesman.
I appreciate everyone's assistance with these matters. Thanks and have a great summer.


La-dee-da-dee-da, la-dee-da-dee-da, what's the name of that song?

1. The African-American woman who assisted Linda, her name was Yelba. I have only ever seen her on twice. I don't think she was on very much at all.
2. I do remember that dog opera singer, but not the name. I remember Bob was going to be her piano player, until he realized he would have to leave Sesame Street, and all his friends there.
3. He was called Lefty in some skits, but in those skits, I don't believe he was a salesman.

Thanks ssetta

Thanks for at least answering one question, ssetta. MuppetDude posted on another thread that the Scottish collie opera singer was named either Annata Scottie or Renatta Scottie. Do either of these names ring any bells? Which is correct? Here are some questions for other members, should they come into this thread.
1 What's the name of the female construction worker who weared a yellow hardhat like Biff's?
2 How do the names of the orchestra conductor muppet and the muppet in control of Muppet Tonight's TV monitors differ? Are they spelled the same or differently? If they're different spellings what name applies to which character? (It may be out of place to ask this here, but noone else has been able to answer these questions for me, and I'd appreciate all the help I can get.)

Have a great summer, the Count.

The female construction worker's name was Stella, and I have only ever seen her in a segment called "This Song Is For The Birds (Boids, as they say it)".

>>>He was called Lefty in some skits, but in those skits, I don't believe he was a salesman<<<

Oddly enuff, there seems to be two of several characters. There is Lefty from TMS, and Lefty from Sesame. Baby Bear from TMS, and Baby Bear from Sesame.

Theres two Nigels...and some people say its a Mahna clone on Sesame, but I think its spose to be Mahna Mahna on Sesame.

Stella, the female Construction worker, helped Rebuild Hooper's Store in 1990, when Biff destroyed it while trying to hang a framed Dollar Bill up.

I would have liked to have seen that show, but I don't think I remember it. Can you tell me anymore about it, like what season, show number, or anymore characters, or inserts that were used?
