Sally Cruikshank's animation for "Above It All". She may have worked with Talking Heads, not sure:

One of the most fun songs, the "La La La" song with Bert and Ernie (where I first learned of linoleum):

A classic Bert and Ernie, when Ernie has to count things in order to fall asleep, hilarity ensues, and a textbook Bert reaction courtesy of Frank Oz:

The original counting song, great song that I still remember, with a typical kid's joke at the end:

I'm pretty sure that Joe Raposo wrote this theme, a classic show in its own right, take notice of the cast:

Always liked TELEPHONE ROCK which was written by Christopher Cerf and Norman Stiles in the style of Elton John, I think:

The "Sign Song" from The Electric Company. I still remember it. Clips of 1970s NYC.

Couldn't find the credit for this song, which was a favorite on the original The Electric Company, "My Broken Down Bronco Bruce" as sung by Skip Hinnant:

A classic Raposo, "Clang Clunk Clatter Click Clink Clank Clippety-Clop" from The Electric Company. This would be fun to sing:

They were packed in two one-pound boxes containing 16 cookies each. I'll give one box to Rob Berman on Friday at the PAINT YOUR WAGON recording session.

I always thought the Muppets was the best thing on tv.

I LOVED The Muppet Show! I never really watched Sesame Street, though.

My bootleg seller is offering that DVD for sale this month!

BK, how are you feeling today?

Feeling a bit better today and hope it continues. My star is over her cold but has given it to her mother who hopefully won't give it back to my star or me. Will have to start up with my Airborne preventative.

I was born in Egypt, but moved to Winconsin in 1995, so life wasn't that bad for me. My names Billy, I have a wife but she's long gone, and I have one child, an 18 year old just finishing up high school. He loves golfing and so do I.

What I wouldn't do without an excellent guy I'm proud to live with, and proud to be with him in my life. His name is Joey, he has recently been in a 40 mile run with a bunch of people.

Life is good around here.
