Just imagine what would happen if someone came and told a producer that he wanted to do jazz numbers like this in a children's program... No chance today! But as a child, I learned from the Muppets that there is a world of music - a way of playing music that puts you in a special state of mind. If more children would experience this, maybe they would not take drugs?

sure you're right..

@emt1605 You're NEVER too old for the muppets

@VampireKingDuz thanks a billion!

@paulrandig between Muppets and Mr. Rogers I learned jazz and that kept me in music and probably out of trouble...

@xhellonhighheels69x Frank Reedy did his Sax playing in the Muppet Show. David Garland did it for the muppet movie.

[xhellonhighheels69x]

does anyone know who played the sax for these muppet sessions?

@paulrandig I find that hilarious since this was made in an age where drugs were done so much. That and the jazz has always been linked with pot.

@GrafRamolo Drug users aren't inherently stupid. People who think that, however, are.

@paulrandig But this WASN'T a children's show. It was a show for everyone. There IS a difference.

@paulrandig I leave my students (K-5, music class) episodes of the muppet show featuring famous musicians when I am going to be absent from class. the 30 minute time period is perfect and they get to be both entertained and exposed to great classic music numbers and performers. The muppets were big (sort of, late 80's early 90's) when I was growing up, and I love bringing them to the newest generation.
