Talk:Jim Henson's Memorial
From Muppet Wiki
You Are My Sunshine
Andrew just reverted my change about Dave Goelz (as Gonzo) singing "You Are My Sunshine". I know in Chris Barry's article, the wording makes it sound like he did. However, I have a recording of "You Are My Sunshine" (referred to in this discussion) that is sung by Kevin Clash and Steve Whitmire, which I always thought was from the memorial service. Was there another instance where they would have sang that particular song, or am I right in my thinking it was for the service? It just seems strange to me that there would be two songs sung by Goelz. -- Mary Catherine (talk) 22:52, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'd used Chris Barry as the source, and your edit didn't make it clear that you had another source. Although note that Barry's article is about the NY memorial. Do you know where your recording came from, Mary Catherine? I.e., anything to indicate whether it was the NY one or the London memorial? -- Andrew Leal (talk) 23:04, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- I wish I knew more about it; the mp3 was just an oddity that popped up on the forum. You're right, though- I didn't consider that it could be from the London memorial, not the NY one. I just wondered if anyone had any insight. -- Mary Catherine (talk) 01:56, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

How come there isnt anything here? Warrick 19:41, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- I've added some information. However, I was looking at the history page for this article, and before I added information, I saw that you were the person who started this page. If you started it, then you should have included some information here, and shouldn't have put up a talk page asking why there wasn't anything here. While I added information, I think that this article could be improved. I looked at The Story of Jim Henson, and I think there is some good information about this in Jim Henson: The Works. I believe that the Muppet Central interviews with Jerry Nelson, Louise Gold, Karen Prell, and Steve Whitmire all have quotes about the memorial service. Maybe those quotes could be used here. Caroll Spinney and Kevin Clash also talked about this in their autobiographies. --Minor muppetz 21:49, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
