Um, Gillespie died in 93'... long after TMS both started and ended.
What do you mean by this?

Anyway, decent outline. I have thought about doing a Louis Armstrong outline myself, though I wasn't sure whetehr he was alive when The Muppet Show was made or not, and I did plan on having him as a season 5 guest, mainly so that he and Lips could do something togetehr. I am a bit surprised that you didn't have any mention of Lips in this. Then again, I'm not sure if you know/ knew who Lips is or not (if you don't know, he's the yellow trumpet player with wild hair and weird-looking eyes who was part of the electric mayhem and orchestra during the last season).

***I Still Get Jealous***

I still get jealous
When they look at you
I may not show it
But I do
It's more than I can bear
When they start to stare
Cause they think you're
Too good to be true
I still get jealous
When we kiss goodnight
Unless you hold me
Extra tight
And dear, I know a secret
You didn't know I knew
I still get jealous
Cause it pleases you

***That Lucky Old Sun***

Up in the mornin', out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Had a fuss with my woman, and I toil for the kids,
And I sweat til I'm wrinkled and gray,
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Oh, Lord above, don't you hear me cryin'
Tears are rollin' down my eyes
Send in a cloud with a silver linin'
Take me to paradise

Show me that river, take me across,
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
