Hey-lo...
I am really really enjoying hearing some of this old SS music I haven't heard in a long while, like Roosevelt Franklin (thanks to Randall :) ).
I'm missing two songs from Ernie's Hits, which I'd love to have whenever anyone has a chance: they are "Ernie Presents the Letter A"...
I dashed this off rather quickly, but... here is a letter I just wrote. I'd be happy for any comments or constructive criticism.
Dear Walt Disney Company:
I am writing to you about Jim Henson’s Muppets. First of all, thank you for what you have already done to publicize the Muppets, which...
I love Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics" - great read. I haven't read it in a while, so you've inspired me to go back to it. Check it out, everyone! You can find it at many libraries.
Gordon, your argument makes a lot of sense. There does seem to need to be a certain level of unrevealed...
Crazy Love - Van Morrison
In My Life - Beatles
Casimir Pulaski Day - Sufjan Stevens
Ciega, Sordomuda - Shakira
La Vida es Un Carnaval - Celia Cruz
Gracias a la Vida - Mercedes Sosa (and others have sung it)
Tangled Up in Blue - Bob Dylan
Helter Skelter - Beatles
Road to Peace - Tom Waits
I used...
First off, we all know muppets are awesome, so I'm not going to list any of their albums. Here are some other favorites in no real special order (more than 10 I'm afraid).
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde (plus a helluva lot else - the man is genius)
George Harrison (and Friends) - The Concert for...
Hey Kyle,
I just ordered this LP from e-bay. Eventually, I hope to convert it to mp3, and when I do, I'll definitely share it with you! (it may take a while tho, so hope you can wait a bit :sleep: :D )
Hi there,
I'm making some more requests from Kyle/Randall/whomever,
I'd like:
From Ernie’s Hits – Ernie presents the letter “A”; Ernie presents the letter “Q”; The Man Who Needs Help; The Wrong Patient; Ernie presents the letter “U”;
Ernie’s Drums (for Ernie's Drums, I have Randall's...
Yes, wonderful as always! I agree with Count; the self-deprecating humor was what really made it for me... (i can just hear Kermit saying those lines! ;) )
Gordon,
I just wanted to say that I really do appreciate all of your positive feedback and encouragement. You really take the time to read and respond to others, and that is a big part of what a forum should be about. You also have a lot of excellent ideas. Thanks for sharing them. :)...
So,
Thanks to everyone for the interesting opinions. I agree with what some of you were saying about the fact that Sesame Street is a show steeped in RESEARCH. Even if it is a little stuck in certain patterns and rather Elmo-heavy these days, can you imagine any program to replace it? (the...
I'll write a letter, Dwayne. It might take me a few days, but I'll write one. Hope others will too. And mikebennidict, I think Dwayne is simply trying to raise more awareness, since not that many people posted on the other thread (which, by the way people, you can find here...
I agree that the original is definitely the best. But then, having grown up with that, it's pretty natural to me that I'd prefer it. If I'd grown up with the Calypso theme, maybe I would have preferred that one, I don't really know...
We are definitely, to a large degree, creatures of habit...
Happy to help out, Dwayne. :)
How are we going to keep track of people writing letters? I really think it would be good to know...
I guess I'm also wondering if the idea is still to have a basic form letter written up and posted on here, which others can then take, adapt, and handwrite on...
One of the ideas (of the many good ones listed here) that is still resonating with me is Gordon's idea of Rizzo and Gonzo opening up a laundromat together.
In a similar vein, what about shorts that show the Electric Mayhem during their day jobs in/between gigs? You could have a number of...
Hi Dwayne,
Thanks so much for your efforts. I liked a lot of what you said. I've made some changes (in red) and suggestions (in bold red) below. You don't have to follow them, but I think that they will help make the letter even stronger. You've provided a very good foundation, and I thank you...
OMG, I had completely forgotten about that beginning, but now that you mention it, it totally rings a bell. I haven't actually heard the record version in a long time... anyway, hope that you can find it somewhere. If you do, could you pass it on to me? It is nicer with the whole Big Bird...
Sorry to butt in - I'm pretty sure that both Numbers versions are the same (CD and record). I used to have the record version, and now have the CD version, and both had a brief SS lead-in of a couple seconds.
Prawnie, your Carib. Amphib. MP3s are on the way. :excited:
-David
