I just found this funny picture of Big Bird dancing with ballet star, Cynthia Gregory on ebay. This was taped for a PBS pledge special during either the late-70's or early-80's.

What makes it interesting is that Caroll Spinney talks about this moment in his autobiography. He has admitted that he is a terrible dancer both in and out of the bird. But he claims it was the first time he ever got good enough to do it after taking some advice from Richard Hunt on pretending that Big Bird could dance.

Anyway, here's the photo. Enjoy. :wisdom::wisdom::wisdom:
