I can't think of where else to post this. Has anyone given the Green Album a listen? It's a lot of different bands collaborating to cover songs from the Muppet Show. If you didn't grow up in the 70's in the U.S. you may not care but here it is anyway. I still get teary when I hear The Rainbow Connection.

Don't for get to check out the excellent delivery of the track.................Being Green.................It is one of the best covers and very appropriate!
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!

It's the strangest elation

I grew up with the muppets and their songs are really inspiring. Will definitely look for the green album
