Jim Henson Memorial - Jim's Favorite Songs

Sung by his fellow Muppeteers toward the end of his memorial which took place in New York on May 21, 1990. I've decided to put this segment back up because it means so much to so many, including me.

I balled my eyes out at I'm going to go back there someday

[SuperFingers20]

With tears in my eyes...I would like to say GOD bless Mr. Jim Henson and ALL of his GREAT FRIENDS "THE MUPPETEERS"....Thank all of you for such a heart felt performance....Please live on all of you, and keep doing what you do

....and remember...."Not the mama"!!!!!!

Either there wasn't any room left for it, or it just wasn't one of his favorites.

[KBAFourthtime]

That's a possibility that it symbolizes that he'd take over as Kermit's performer.

In all my 26 years as a muppet fan....how have i never seen this? This is absolutely amazing!!!

The two dislikes must be from Statler and Waldorff, the two hecklers in the "Muppet Show" balcony.

Here they all were mourning the death of their friend and yet they put on a spectacular show. I can't imagine how hard that must've been. I admire them all. Jim Henson will live on in the hearts of every man, woman, and child who enjoys his work for years to come as will Richard Hunt.
