I was reading the Muppets Valentine Show guide, and it had Frank Oz credited as one "Eric". I don't recall ever seeing a character named, or refered to as Eric, where is he in the show, and what does he look like?

Also, I don't recall seeing Ernie or Bert at the end, Rowlf yes, but Ernie and Bert, no.

Eric was the blue-green frog on banjo. At the beginning of "Froggy Went A-Courtin'" one of the frogs said "Pick it, Eric!"

P.S.: There was one character in the Ruth Buzzi guide I couldn't identify; who's Annie?

Ah, yes, now I remember...I already knew that frog was played by Frank, but I guess I never payed attention to the "pick it Eric" line. I do remember Eric's actual line though where he says "C'mon guys, back to the frog pond!" (splash!) and Mildred remarks "Well, no wonder the stupid thing's out of tune!"
