Shit. :( August 24, 2012 at 5:15 pm #117139 Danny StephensonKeymaster RIP Robin. I’m gutted… August 24, 2012 at 6:00 pm #117140 mickParticipant Absolutely terrible news :( August 24, 2012 at 6:17 pm #117142 siParticipant Yes, I just saw that on Twitter. Very sad news. Think I’ll have a listen to my Muppet Show albums tomorrow. August 24, 2012 at 7:20 pm #117932 BlisschickParticipant Part of my childhood has died as well. RIP, Jerry. :( August 24, 2012 at 10:37 pm #117939 PhilParticipant >Part of my childhood has died as well. Yeah, same here. Losing any remaining connection to Jim Henson hits me hard. I wrote a short, quick piece this morning, and this weekend I’ll probably write something more substantial about Henson’s work and the people who helped bring it to life. This is a real downer on a Friday. http://noiselesschatter.com/2012/08/24/rip-jerry-nelson/ August 24, 2012 at 10:49 pm #117940 Stephen R. FletcherParticipant I teared up when I read the news earlier today. I still can’t believe it. His work had such a strong effect on me. I ended up walking home, listening to “Truro Daydreams” on my iPod. Wonderful piece you’ve written, Phil. August 24, 2012 at 11:42 pm #117942 HelloMabelParticipant Yes Phil, lovely. Do let us know when the larger article is published. August 25, 2012 at 12:12 am #117943 Danny StephensonKeymaster “But we can’t get hung up on what we’re losing. We should, instead, focus on what we were given.” Very much this, and this applies to all of those talented people who have left us. August 26, 2012 at 12:14 am #117983 Stephen R. FletcherParticipant An amazing audio track with Frank Oz, Steve Whitmire, Dave Goelz, Kathy Mullen, Karen Prell, Kevin Clash, Marty Robinson, and more (as their characters) celebrating Jerry Nelson’s 65th birthday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuPE43X769A August 26, 2012 at 2:25 am #117987 Danny StephensonKeymaster Holy shit that’s a crazy amount of performances… August 26, 2012 at 3:11 am #117988 HelloMabelParticipant This is one of my childhood dreams come true: all the Muppet Show, Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock muppets get together and have a party. *wipes tear from cheek The whole first part, until Oscar shows up, sounds improvised! Beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing this. August 26, 2012 at 10:29 am #117993 Stephen R. FletcherParticipant My pleasure, I felt the same way when I first heard it. One of the best finds ever! I knew the Muppet Performers and the people in the Jim Henson Company were close but this… wow… it just speaks volumes really. August 26, 2012 at 12:38 pm #117996 JonsmadParticipant Halfway up the stairway to heaven. There’s nothing quite like the muppets. RIP Jerry.

FletcherParticipant Beautifully written, sir. August 29, 2012 at 7:08 pm #118159 PhilParticipant Thank you, Scooter and Mr. T.
