20 years later.....



This is quite a few days late, but this past Sunday May 16th marked the 20th Anniversary of Jim Henson's death. Hard to believe it's been that long doesn't it?.

For those who don't know he was the man behind 2 of the most influential children's programs of our time. Sesame Street and The Muppet Show.

The above clip is perhaps my all time favourite Muppet Show moment, no matter what mood I'm in, or how old I get this never fails to make me laugh.

These shows were pretty much responsible for creating some of the best memories of my childhood.

The lovable timeless characters were also in large part responsible for teaching me to speak English.

R.I.P Jim. You may be gone, but your genius and art will never be forgotten.
