Ah, so many things to comment on, lol. Once again, I'm sorry for the absence as of late. For some reason lately, all I've wanted to do at the end of the day was sleep (and occasionally watch the Marx Brothers lol)!

That exhibit sounds great, I wish I could go! It would be cool to see all those characters up close!

Well I sent my questions to Steve and I'm DEFINITELY looking forward to Jane's next interview, yay!

Good luck with everything, MN, and also welcome to the club Devco!

Btw, the other day I was given the opportunity to lead this prayer group I go to occasionally (different from the one I mentioned awhile ago). For this position, I was required to pick something inspirational to read out loud. Of course I thought, lol, what would be better than Richard's memorial speech? I was so nervous the whole day! This time I wouldn't be able to rely on other people, I'd have to present this speech all alone and make it presentable and inspirational for the whole group.

I was so nervous the entire day. I kept being afraid that I would chicken out; that I would fail to deliver the speech with the emotion and passion necessary to pull it off. That I wouldn't be able to "go there." But, I went in, and just decided to read it the way I've heard it so many times (I'm pretty good at mimicing if I do say so myself, hehe). In essence I "shut up and did it." And amazingly (and thankfully!) I managed to pull it off. And everyone in the group really enjoyed it. So, thank you guys for all the support you always give, and thank you Richard for providing the material and the inspiration to "go there." And of course thank you God for giving me that strength.

Just talked with Jane again. She was funny and warm and wonderful, as always. The RHLC will absolutely love what she has to say.

Yay! That's so great, Steve! I'm so excited you talked with her again, I can't wait to hear the interview!

And I'm so glad the speech went well for you, heralde. Perfect speech to choose! I love how Richard inspires us, lol. He's one heck of a motivational guy!

I have only recently come to fully appreciate Richard Hunt's wonderful work! He was a talented individual who left us all too soon. It was after seeing him in this performance

that I was hooked! He truly stood out for me as he stood and sang as Scooter. Yay RHLC!

Hi, welcome to the club, wemblingalong. This is definitely the place to go if you're a Richard Hunt fan.

Ah...buncha grown men clucking like chickens. A clear case of fowl play.

I'm all done save for one exam Friday, so I can come in and chat some more.

Well done, heralde, and nice to hear that you got to use Richard's speech again...wonder if Richard knew that, 18 (ouch!) years after he got up in front of the masses at St. John the Divine, people would be using his speeches for spiritual or therapeutic purposes?

And Steve: now I'm really dying to hear the next MuppetCast episode.

Welcome to the club wemblingalong! Have you read Richard's Muppet Central tribute pages? That's where I was first hooked, lol.

And yes that really is a very special clip all around. And he does have that ability to stand out when he performs because he takes those chances. He's not worried if something looks over the top or silly, he just goes for it. Any sort of holding back and it wouldn't be as successful. Yet at the same time it's not grotesque or ridiculous.

Thanks for all the congrats, guys!

And I can't wait for the next Muppetcast interview!

 

[Ilikemuppets]

Thant's great Steve! Can't wait to here the interview!

And welcome wemblingalong!
