Today, Sunday the 24th 2006 would have been Jim Henson’s 70th Birthday. Rarely has one person had such an impact with their vision for the world. From Sam and Friends, Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, The Dark Crystal, and on and on and on (lots of Muppets on Youtube). Henson died on May 16th 1990 of pneumonia. A Boy and his Frog (mp3). I still think of you and all you’ve done for me. Happy Birthday, and thanks.
As we have no tv, we have been using utube as entertainment for kiddies and what do watch the most of? Muppets! I had no idea that it would have been Jim Henson’s birthday… will enlighten children during the banana episode tonight. Lots of love, anne
My 5th grade LARC class did a tribute to Jim Henson for our skit at Odyssey of the Mind.
