dwayne1115: True, that - it reminds me of something Jim said during the "Down at Fraggle Rock" documentary: "If Gobo is the head of the Fraggles, Red is the engine." It's the same with the Muppet performers in real life: Jim was the leader of the pack, while performers like Richard were the...

That's the episode - "Is It True" is the Wizard's theme when he drops into Fraggle Rock to do a show. And I've noticed something - a lot of times, Wembley gets teamed up with one of Richard's characters - the Wizard, the Genie, the Spiderfly, Mudwell...and so on. So you've got a point - Richard...

Well, well, well, look who's back in town - hi, Carrie, how's it going? It's great to see you again - we've not seen much of the old guard lately, heralde and Fragglemuppet and the others. I love that song, too, and that episode - 23 minutes of Richard-related goodness. He always did seem to...

Well, the weather seems to have turned here - instead of it feeling like late August, it's more like mid-September, because it's been so vile and rainy these last couple of days. There was a cute item in the news today, about how the first Kermit and the Sam and Friends puppets have been...

Last album I bought? It was "The Essential Nik Kershaw," by, well, Nik Kershaw. Nik's rapidly become one of my favorites - he's a brilliant singer and songwriter.

Most districts here in the States get going in early September - usually after Labor Day, but I think there are a few districts that start in late August. Celebrated Richard's birthday last night with two episodes each of FR ("Fraggle Wars," "The Day the Music Died") and TMS (Jaye P. Morgan...

(in the courtyard) Beige: Hey, Scooter, we need another few Catherine Wheels over here. Scooter: But what are we going to do with these extra flares? Erin: Put them over here. And we need one more Yunnan Sunburst here for a little extra sparkle. Storyteller: Ah, bliss - this is just how he...

It's Aug. 16 here over the eastern U.S. and Canada, so happy birthday to an incredible Muppet performer, awesome singer, fab director and great-hearted human being. We love you Richard, and we miss you.

Yes, definitely break out the orange juice - and a couple of chocolate-covered donuts if you can find some. I'm thinking of kicking back with a few episodes of TMS or FR tomorrow night, in honor of the day. And the other thing with recasting Scooter and wanting to get it just right - if the...

Hello, fellow Richard fans - I've been a little AWOL for the last few days, since I've been on vacation in Canada (Toronto, Niagara Falls, and S. Ontario in general). Plane got in a few hours ago - I'm tired, but it was an awesome trip. I'm not sure where you are, Nekoshema, but I made sure to...

My signature these days is a line from "Don Quixote," by Nik Kershaw - which is an homage to the novel by Cervantes. Cool song, and love the video too. Nik's rapidly becoming one of my favorite musicians - his songs have been getting stuck in my head quite a bit lately. :)

(Note from room 9: Sorry for the extended absence - the heat's kind of been getting to everyone.) (But now, it's sing-along time again) Scooter: (tuning guitar) Hit me a low E, I'm still off. Nora: (whacks a tuning fork into the side of the coffee table) Maybe you need to put new strings on...

That's cool, analeisa, we've all been kind of busy lately - and the tumblr looks absolutely fab. Keep up the good work! Yeah, Muppet Vault was cool - "Bohemian Rhapsody" had the whole house crowing with laughter, and there were lots of good, Muppety vibes going down. I hope they do something...

Just got in a little while ago from The Muppet Vault. It was really cool - they showed a bunch of clips that haven't been released on DVD or video yet. They started off with the "Muppets at Walt Disney World" special, then there were the YouTube viral videos (including "Bohemian Rhapsody."...

Ah, swimming - haven't had much time for that lately. On the way in to work this morning, I passed a few sparkling blue swimming pools, and I wished that I could go do a few cannonballs instead of sitting at a computer and making phone calls. Oh well, I need my day job to pay for a new...

Yeah, "The Logical Song" was the first tune of theirs I heard - it was when Roger Hodgson was on tour with Ringo and the All-Starrs (the lineup that had Lake in it). I was on my feet, since they'd just done "Court of the Crimson King," and when Roger started playing, I remember thinking, "Hey...

That's the spirit! (so to speak) It's cooled off here since then - a little overcast and humid today, though. But during the really hot days, I think of how the Muppet crew had the right idea, going after each other with water pistols and garden hoses on the FR set. :)

For a good part of the day, I've had "Don Quixote" by Nik Kershaw stuck in my head. Come to think of it, that's not the only song of his that's been getting stuck in my head lately...

Peter Cetera? He's not been with Chicago for a while - dropped out sometime back in the '80s, I think. And you're seeing them with America and Peter Frampton? Super cool - I saw Frampton in concert a couple of years back. It was a triple bill with a few other acts - can't remember who at the...

Oh, yes, that's right - and a happy belated Canada Day to you as well. The heat's really bad here, too. Anything above 80 degrees F. and I start to wilt - and they're calling for the heat to hit triple digits today. And don't get me started on the humidity.
