Classic Buddy Rich on the Muppet Show

An oldie but a great one… again courtesy of Mojo Magazine… Buddy Rich plays the Muppet Show.

From Muppet Wiki:

Buddy Rich: “The thing that’s good about it is; I felt like a Muppet myself; I was like a kid, playing with those guys, because that’s how they made me feel. Then, of course, the battle at the end with Animal; to play opposite Ronnie Verrell—one of my all-time favorite drummers, along with Kenny Clare—was a total gas to me. That one week will go down as one of the most positive weeks in my career. I loved it—and I thank them.”

Tom Waits hits the boards
