I use to have this on tape as a kid, but it either got taped over, thrown away, or lost. Thanks for posting this... I wish I had a copy of this again. :/

Is this the same man who did the puppet skit to the song "If" by Bread? I am trying to locate the video if it's even available. I saw it as a child when he was a guest on The Muppet Show.

Thank you for posting these. I saw him perform many times in Los Angeles and have always wondered what happened to him.

I am so delighted you posted this! I've known of his work since he first premiered "The Stage That Walks" in 1972 (at age 16!).

I have been looking for more of this guy's work...I think he is just sensational. I have been fascinated by Bunraku all my life, first heard of him from the Muppet Show. Thanks for putting this up
