Today’s Music: Stan Getz – Autumn Leaves
Tonight’s special guest Marvin Suggs, resplendent in a very sparkly vest, stands behind the Mupphaphone, mallet at the ready.
Who knows what excitement giddy-ifies his brain? No one can tell from his expression, as he is a consummate performer.
The stage goes dark. A single burning diamond white LED picks out El Guapo as he strides to the microphone, his beret cutting a swirling path through the cloud from his clove cigarette.
Ice
The desolate wind
*ow*
blows
through my
*ow*
soul.
*OW*
The scrub trees of the plain
*ow OW Ow*
shiver
*owowow*
with remorse.
*Owwwwww*
I huddle deep
*OOOoowwwwWWW*
within
*ouch*
my
*oh*
own skin.
*oWowOW*
Even though it
*owwwww*
is
*ow*
Spring.
*OWowOW*
The wind is a reflection
*owOWow*
of the dark.
*OwOwOw*
The polite
*ooooow*
considerate
*owow*
dark…
*Owwwwowowow*
I
*ow*
blame
*OW*
Canada.
*OWOWOWOowowoW*
Coooooool…
And for those of you unfamiliar with the Muppaphone:

Thanks for that Guapo! The Muppet Show was one of my favorite shows when I was in college. There was always a race between the Muppet fans and the 60 Minutes fans on Sunday nights after dinner to see who got to one of the few televisions in the dorm. Sadly, the 60 Minutes fans won that race most of the time.
And the ice will melt away soon enough!

I am now because I googled him. I forgot to write back, because I was watching a bunch of the videos and then was distracted by something else. I think some of these missed Muppets were because they starred before my kid was born.
