Were the Minstrels always named?

[minor muppetz]

I know that the names of the minstrels are cantus, murray, brool, brio and baslam, but in their first appearance, the minstrels, only cantus is referred to by name (he doesn't even introduce the other members individually), and the only ones who talk are cantus and murray. anyway, does anybody know if the other minstrels had names in the script for that episode, or if they were even planned to appear again? I know that some people who worked on the show, like karen prell, jerry nelson and terry angus (who i believe performed brio), post on this message board from time to time.

Well I honestly don't know. But you forget Brio also talked in the episode of 'Mokey and the Minstrels'. I dont' remember any of them ever using names in the show except Cantus. But.. *shrugs* I .. really dunno..

I haven't seen "mokey and the minstrels" or "the honk of honks", so I didn't "forget" that he talked, since I didn't know it in the first place. cantus appeared in five episodes while the other minstrels only appeared in three.

Can someone please tell me which minstrel is which? I know what each one looks like, but I don't know which names go with who.

Cantus-Leader
Murray-purpleish furry guitarist second in command guy
Brool-tall green figure with cat ears. I think he plays a guitar too?
Brio-small greenish fraggle plays cymbols
Balsam-armadillo like figure who plays bongos.

I believe Brool plays the bass guitar.

Right. He`s a bass player. And simply a "sweetie kitty!"
