Hi Everybody,

I wasn't quite sure where to put this article at in the puppetry section so I chose this instead. Last summer I had the honor of attending the National Puppetry Festival at UCONN and spent some time at the Ballard Institute going through there museum as well as their extensive video library. Some of the rare gems I came across included an HBO special from Bil Baird entitled "We've Got The World On Strings". It was basically an adult puppet cabaret with guest stars and Baird puppets including Charlamagne the Lion and Slugger Ryan. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find these rare special outside of the Ballard Institute. Does anyone remember seeing this? Thanks a lot and have a great day.
