Calling all Paul William fans… *cricket sounds*… aw man.

…the muppets fans at least?

A fan art image I created last year for Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas. A holiday special I’ve enjoyed so much over the years. #emmetottersjugbandchristmas #jerrynelson #jimhenson #hensoncompany #muppets #christmas #holidayspecial #paulwilliams #muppetfanart #puppetry #fanart #robbmommaerts https://www.instagram.com/p/CmO1Vs5u1-G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Terror in the Sky When a giant-sized bat ransacks Gotham harbor, Batman suspects that Dr. Kirk Langstrom is up to his old tricks, taking the Man-Bat formula again. Batman isn't the only one. Kirk's wife, Francine, is so distrustful of her husband that she decides to leave him. After further investigation, Batman discovers that this Man-Bat is not Kirk, but someone else, and thus he shames Francine's father into permanently destroying the formula. Almost Got'im The Joker, Killer Croc, the Penguin, Two-Face, and Poison Ivy all meet at a poker table, each telling a tale of times when they almost defeated Batman. At the same time, Harley Quinn is about to kill Catwoman after she rescued Batman from the Joker's electric chair, and Batman must save her. Birds of a Feather Veronica Vreeland is looking for a way to create a splash with her next party, and arrives at the idea of having a former criminal in attendance — especially if there is one whose manners would create a stir. The Penguin, who has recently reformed, fits the bill perfectly. In the process of convincing the Penguin to come to her party, Veronica finds she likes the corpulent little guy. For his part, the Penguin begins to fall in love with her, until he overhears that he is merely being used. What is Reality? Seeking to prove once and for all that his is the superior mind, the Riddler lures Batman into a riddle-solving contest inside the virtual reality of a computer game in order to save Commissioner Gordon's life. In the course of solving the riddles and escaping the Riddler's traps, Batman learns that he is able to manipulate the virtual reality landscape much like the Riddler does.

Paul  Williams Live on Game Changers with Vicki Abelson

It’s been 9 yrs since Grammy, Golden Globe, Oscar Winner, and Hall of Famer, Paul Williams, graced my living room. That’s almost as long as it’s been since I  began campaigning to get him to do this. Worth the wait! And then some. 

Putting aside Paul’s decades of accomplishments, the dozens upon dozens of his songs that weave through the fabric of our lives, continue to move us, and break our hearts––for me, just today, crying in the shower singing along to, I Won’t Last a Day Without You… plus all of the film scores he’s composed, his TV and movie appearances, chairing and presidenting, over ASCAP, his efforts for MusicCares, and his unwavering and indefatigable devotion to his sobriety, recovery, and being of service to others. I have yet to meet anyone so adored by absolutely everyone, pretty much all with a story of how he’s impacted their lives with his art and his heart.

There are gorgeous tidbits here, not all pretty, some of poor behaviors as an artist, a father, a worker, a partner, a son, a human, and then fabulously stunning stories of redemption, most notably with his daughter and mother––get out your hanky… all thanks to sobriety, and the program which he credits as saving him, in all ways. And, which he continues to pay forward, every day in just about every way.  

Paul talked about Sinatra, Daft Punk, his writing partner Roger Nichols, The Carpenters, and The Big Amigo. This conversation is richer than the Kardashians, Zuckerberg and Musk’s joint checking account. Entertaining as all get out, with a great big heaping portion of truth, insight, honesty, humility, spirituality, wisdom, and just plain crazy fun. 

Paul’s been a gift to us in more ways than I count - arbitrarily mark this - a gazillion and one.

It's high time for another duo of seasonal Henson/Muppets goodness. As I keep pointing out, the placement in the loose order of this marathon is precarious at best, and many have shifted yet again, as I watch them this year, but for the time being, this felt a good place for a another Henson injection. 🌲 Blu Christmas Holiday Movie Asplosion 2022! ⛄ Chapter 24: Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas 🦌 This adorable Jim Henson TV special classic, from back in 77' right about smack dab in the middle of the run of the original Muppet Show, is full of charm, muppetry, and a couple songs that sounded so authentically like they should've been existing long established standards that many thought they were, and have since essentially become so (sometimes the genius of Paul Williams hits just right). I mean, I could swear "Our World" and in particular "When the River Meets the Sea" must've been existing classics, and yet...Anyways, this blu-ray (2018 release) looks better than ever, and also restored the long left out Kermit scenes (even if not his additional narration, for whatever reason). ❄️ 🎄 🎅 #EmmetOttersJugBandChristmas #1977 (#JimHensonsEmmetOttersJugBandChristmas ) #EmmetOtter #JimHenson #Kermit #JerryJuhl #FrankOz #JerryNelson #DaveGoelz #RichardHunt #PaulWilliams #Muppets #BluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2022 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon . https://www.instagram.com/p/CmVIlzTOSIJ0RUV1MO0U3_74foOGMl4Vc-Tcu00/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
