This is part of the press packet I think:
I'll use the ring. "Hi! My name is Willis. I am a part of the Mapits (Muppets). I play the proms (drums).The shoe (show) is all was (always) a hit. I am a Baboon. I mosle (mostly) play rook and roul (rock and roll). It is fun to play with a band. And to be with the Mapits (Muppets). Most people think I am a chimpans (chimpanzee) but I am not! My croow (crew) think I am good at plaing (playing) the droms (drums).
I love that he's got a crew and most baboons are a little touchy about being called chimps.
I think this is the official fan photo:
N mounted it on a piece of cardboard, pretty fancy, eh? I think it's cool how the images are very similar, even the kit is the same. Fine rendering there, I'd say.
So, on it goes here at 'ihopeiwinatoaster.' I have pretty much come to the realization that I am more an archivist than a blogger, I am pretty sure blogs are supposed to be read by others and I don't know that many people are reading this. Do I care? Not really.
When I was a kid maybe nine or ten, I spent a lot of time learning to play guitar. I was determined I wanted to be the guy who could sing a song and play along with it (so many people I knew were just learning leads and snippets of songs) so, I needed to practice. And I learned that there is a certain pleasure in practicing, in working towards a goal, in getting it right. The first time I got through 'The Times They Are A'changing' without botching it I was alone in a basement.
Right now, I am alone in a basement. Still practicing, still trying to get it right. I didn't mind forty years ago and I really don't mind now. I figure I'll know what I am doing by the time this reaches an audience, like say when the boys are fifty and I am long gone.

Around here you get points for just trying new words...
