    Yes, I just saw that on Twitter. Very sad news. Think I’ll have a listen to my Muppet Show albums tomorrow.

    Part of my childhood has died as well. RIP, Jerry. :(

    >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.

    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.

    “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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Halfway up the stairway to heaven. There’s nothing quite like the muppets.
    RIP Jerry.
