If you're more or less my age, you'll be familiar with #PaulWilliams as either the ubiquitous 70s tunesmith behind hits by #TheCarpenters & the delightful #MuppetMovie soundtrack, or that odd little stringy-haired fella who'd inexplicably pop up in random #HardyBoys and #LoveBoat episodes. Today I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Paul was a better songwriter than actor. As proof, I'll offer up this overlooked #JamesBrown-produced #falsetto gem from 1975: "I Won't Last A Day Without You" by #SweetCharles. If only everyone sang Paul with such soul.
It should come to no surprise that we in The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company love puppetry so it would be remiss to not let you all know that our friends in the CWRU Film Society are screening a most sensational inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational movie tonight!

The Film Society has been providing the students of CWRU with a place to relax at the end of the week. We show good movies and sell concessions for prices that won't break your bank. Our schedules offer a variety of films through each semester to cater to a broad array of students and community members.
My theme song
(the best scene in the film, imho)
I went to the movies this afternoon because it's a rainy day and my favourite cinema was playing The Muppet Movie! Starring Kermit and Fozzie and a gorgeous Studebaker.
Well that car is now getting restored and you can help get it back to its former glory, and go visit it!

I would suggest fans of the show start w/ Jim Nabors one which introduces gofer Scooter, nephew of the theatre owner. The head writer starred on the Andy Griffith show in several episodes with #Gomer who is uncredited in the security guard sketch
Jack #Burns was once comedic partner w/ Carlin during the straight years. Deputy of Mayberry after Barney left. Later part of comic duo Burns & #Schreiber
Avery Schreibers visit is almost as funny
Peter Ustinov has a really punny bit 10 minutes in
Rita Morenos Emmy winning version of Fever with Animal is a season highpoint.
Vincent Prices appearance must be the one Bill #Hader based his homage on
Paul Williams is worth seeing if only because of his involvement in the music of the nascent #MuppetMovie released the next summer
Mummenschanz was like a pantomime Blue Man Group demonstrating their own form of puppetry
There was one other notable first season guest I intend to discuss in my next reply which has something to do Bob #Newhart
I'm doing two seminars this summer at the Coolidge Corner Theater. One is on The Muppet Movie. Come join the lovers, the dreamers and me on July 13th.
