Today, in 1936,
James Maury Henson was born. He is famously know as Jim Henson by the rest of the world. This man was a major influence on me very early on. I grew up, like millions of children, on Muppets and Sesame Street. I remember seeing "The Jim Henson hour", which always ended with "The Storyteller ". I was held captive by "Hans my Hegehog", "Fearnot", "The Heartless Giant" and other stories shown there. And I remembered when n he died, a remarkable thing for a girl who couldn't even spell her own name at that point. Jim Henson was god to me then, I KNEW who he was. So, to celebrate this wonderful introvert, here is art I found searching for his name.

A God of our time, I remember so many films he worked on that still stand up to scrutiny more than CGI.
Likewise on Par with Stan Winston.
Happy Birthday Mr Muppet

I added it again and looked in preview and it really doesn't work 
Here is the link so you can see what I intended to show but of course as the thumb isn't working you can't use it : [link]

The Storyteller has been my favourite tv show in my childhood (and still is one my favs, I bought the DVDs 
(I am annoyed that "The Muppets" have been bought by the Disney studios (well, in common I like Disney) and they gave Rowlf back his voice - which is IMO a great disrespect to Jim Henson - the Muppet studios had a reason letting Rowlf fall silent.
