TODAY - 40th anniversary of Sesame Street

This is the very first version of "Being Green" sung by Kermit in Season 1 -- 1969.

And here is Patti La Belle doing the alphabet as only Patti can.


I loved Sesame Street, and its more adult version later, The Muppet Show. In fact I am a charter member of the Muppet Show Fan Club, which I joined in my 20's. And although that show isn't celebrating its anniversary today, I just had to addthis video of a young Rudolf Nureyev dancing SWINE Lake with Miss Piggy.
