We talk a whole lot about other Muppet Performers, but there hasn't been much said about their next-to-newest performer, Bill Baretta. Bill is, in my opinion, an asset to the JHC. He is candid, funny, and brings an undeniably wonderful energy to all his characters. Pepe is just a rod puppet but when he's jumpimg aorund with all his arms wiggling, I think very fondly of him.

Talking of Puppet types, Bill does them all, from standard types like Johnny Fiamma, to immense advanced species like Bobo. Sure he tends to do more original characters than revivals of characters, as we'd like to see. But, we don't want to throw out any of his characters. They all have great personalities and interact with the classic Muppets well. Bill rocks! There's no denying it.

Anyone have something to add, ok?

Hey, Beau? Salmoto? Have you noticed how we're the only guys who have, and probably will, post here? Hmmm. Maybe that's why Bill plays Pepe so well.:big_grin:

Um, dude? I'm not entirely certain you're placing blame where it's due. It ain't exactly Bill's fault.
