READ THIS LONG DESCRIPTION!!!!! (IT'S WORTH READING): 19 years ago today, May 16th, we lost an extraordinary legend, an American icon, and a dear friend. The man who gave us Kermit the Frog, Big Bird, Ernie & Bert, Cookie Monster, and other whimsical characters that we'll always remember; The man who enchanted millions into television and film with his worlds of fantasy and imagination; A man who, among other words, could solely be described as a genius. With such an impact he made on our world and the tremendous legacy he left us, it's pretty hard to imagine a world without Jim Henson.
This tribute was made way back in August (there's a long story why I didn't get this on YouTube by his 72nd birthday on September 24th), and it took me about a week to finish it. I tried to get every aspect of his career on this tribute through existing videos on YouTube at the time (You will see some clips of several videos that were taken down some time ago, most notably the Fraggle Rock videos posted by regulator867, as was the users who posted those videos either closed their accounts or were suspended).
When I made it, it originally featured the song "Daydream" by the Lovin' Spoonful. But since this whole WMG/YouTube raid happened back in December, I slightly re-worked the video and instead used "Follow Me" from Fraggle Rock. If you want to see the original version of my tribute featuring the song Daydream, you can see it here: http://www.livevideo.com/video/E50822...
So to the lovers, the dreamers, and of course, YOU, here's my salute to my idol, Jim Henson. Enjoy =)

I remember seeing the funeral broadcasted on TV when I was a kid. A peice of us all died along with him that day. This is very well done. good job! :)
Jon this is a real amazing tribute to Jim I've ever seen before in my life, I'll always love him forevermore always and the song Follow Me from Fraggle Rock, brought me back memories of my best friend Jesse Klump who recently passed away last February so I was wondering if it's ok if I can have the MP3 to Follow Me and the Guitar Chords to it also when I play my guitar again soon, so if you can send me the Follow me chords for guitar and the mp3 that'll be great otherwise good job.
