"Now that I've had a good cry, I feel better."

That line rings a lot truer than you might expect. I experienced it myself earlier this evening, though I was more sniffling than crying.

yiou guys are sesame street geeks! teach me some!

[tpirman1982]

Yeah, the green cowgirl anything muppet was my favorite character here.

[urbangypsy770]

ain't that the truth. loved this!

[tpirman1982]

Who's performing the lavender muppet @ 1:47 - 1:57? My guess is Camille Bonora. Sounds like her to me.

[Garrettk41]

Yes, that's definitely Camille.

[tpirman1982]

Aha! I guess I have good listening to the voice talents. But who performs the blue anything muppet next to the lavender muppet?

[teenangel93]

I think its Louise Gold to me.

[tpirman1982]

No, the blue male muppet next to the lavender muppet who sings "You can cry to your cat, or your Irish setter. Either way, you'll feel a lot better." Who performed the blue muppet?

[MarshalGrover]

David Rudman.

[Garrettk41]

Is that Ivy Austin voicing the green cowgirl?

How about "The Ballad of Slippery Slim"?

[MarshalGrover]

I think it's Louise Gold. (Notice how the girl's left-handed)

[Garrettk41]

Well, there's something kind of tricky in there. A lot of Muppets are left-handed. That's because since most performers are right-handed, they have to use their good hand to work the puppet's face and mouth. Louise Gold is one of the few left-handed performers, and thus, her characters can be right-handed. And I still think it's Ivy. She sounds quite a bit like Hammy Swinette.

[tpirman1982]

You're right.

The green cowgirl muppet sounds like she's performed by Louise Gold. I'd know her voice anywhere on Sesame Street during this particular era.
