Whoo-hoo! I'm so excited to join the ranks of the avatar-ers.
MUCH thanks to Foreignman for creating Muppet Jim with the banjo! A banjo picker/Muppet lover's avatar dream come true!

So happy I could sing "Tomorrow.." well, maybe tomorrow.

VERY nice! I always did like that puppet. They have a HUGE poster of it in MuppetVision in WDW, but you have to look directly up towards the ceiling to notice it. I of course, always do. :smile:

The Country Trio have always been favorites...shame they were only used on TMS twice in the first season. And pics of them are so hard to find! I've always wondered why the Frank puppet had orange hair..

Its also interesting to me how many of Jim's characters played the banjo. Rowlf, Kermit, Muppet Jim, the yellow haired jug-band member, even the Sweedish Chef playing a frying pan looked like a banjo. Its also a predominant instrument in a lot of Muppet songs...I think Jim was a banjo lover.

Wow, it looks wonderful on you David! I feel like a fashion designer watching one of his girls walk down the runway... except instead of a runway it's the Muppet Central forums, instead of a girl it's David the rocking puppeteer banjo guy, and instead of a fashion designer I'm a High School Sophmore with a gigantic history essay due on Monday... Which I haven't started yet... Eeep!
