Fraggle Facts

There are four Minstrels who follow Cantus, but it's possible for other Fraggles to join as well. To become a Minstrel, they need to have ability and dedication, as well as the patience to put up with Cantus' tests.

Notes

There's another Jim Henson reference in this episode: Cantus instructs Mokey in the way of the Minstrels, telling her that "All is all. Is is." This line, a parody of 60s-style cosmic wisdom, was intoned by The Monk (Jerry Nelson) in Henson's 1968 experimental TV program, The Cube.
