Remembering Richard Hunt

[Twisted Tails]

Hey! That's a good pic, Colette! Did you drew that?

No, SHE124! I did not draw that! Somebody who is a huge Richard Hunt and a Muppet fan drew it.

Okay, but who???

Okay, but who???

I finally found out who it was. It was Christopher Smigliano. I am not kidding!

The links for both “I’m Looking through You” and “Six String Orchestra” have been disabled, so I’m doing re-posts of them, along with some of my favorite Richard moments.

All excellent choices, Princeton, especially from FR.

I don't know if I should bump this thread, but I did find a video that has one of Richard Hunt's best performances on the Muppet Show.

Love you Richard! I have grown up with your work, and I am so happy that I got to meet you through your work. I am sad we never got to meet face to face though, you seem like you would have made an awesome friend.

Don't fret, Colette! Today's the perfect day to bump it up, and I thank you for that. It'll take my mind off the Author Quest for a while...Can't wait to hear more great, memorable statements!

Richard Hunt was super talented! I'm very happy that his characters now have voices because for awhile there many of our favorites didn't. I remember seeing something on his life along time ago that showed the fantastic quilt piece done in his honor that was added to the AIDS Quilt in Washington DC in the early 90's. It featured all of his most beloved characters, stitched with the finest detail. I know he would have really enjoyed that. RIP Richard.

It was nice to hear Richard Hunt's voices over the years. Too bad I didn't have a chance to meet him.
