Remember in MCC when Kermit says that life is made from meetings and partings, well this visual reminds me of that. A deeply atmospheric image of the long side of a train against a deep snow-covered platform. A lampstand rises from the midst of the platform and branches into two round blurs of white light, accenting the deep greeny blue tinge shrouding the image like light misty fog. The words to Alde Lang Syne sweep down one side of the image in a twirly white handwriting.

On the opposite side of the image is Zoot, bowed over his sax. Above him, "Happy New Year" and in the distence, "2007".

Hope that helps, Ed.

Yes... Verily it does Bo sirrah.
And now I know of this visual... May I say it captures the feel prefectly. Zoot, always thought of as last... The last letter of the alphabet, the last note when closing the Muppet Show, the last day of the year. A prefect capturing of the moment that this is the last... Before starting all over again.
Great work Dave, and I might have something to contribute to next week's occasion... If I can get the pics taken and uploaded by then that is.

Dave, I love it. It's divinely beautiful. So sereen and distinct, I love it. The words of "Auld Lang Syne" are gorgeous, and the shadow on Zoot is such a marvelous touch. The perfect way to end the year. Happy new year Vic.

I can just hear Zoot playing this song for his Muppet freinds as they dance around the Muppet Theater. I can just see Zoot cleaning his sax as the song ends and him walking away from the that spot on the visual. You go Dave. Your one of the best guys here and I'm glad to have you as one of my computer buddies. Thanks again Dave. Thanks. :smile:

Vic, I'd love to have a copy of the Muppet Family Gathering pic. How do I get one too?
