Re: The Who Mailing List Digest V3 #204



>>>I also recall seeing a book on the development of the Muppets for the
Muppet
show (as opposed to Sesame Street) where preliminary sketches of Janis, the
bass player in the band was shown with her glasses being labelled "Jorma type
glasses" in the sketch.  As in Jorma Kaukonen, from the Jefferson
Airplane/Hot Tuna Fame.  Shows that Henson & Crew definitely were keyed into
the music angle.<<<

Well, kinda.  Jorma plays guitar.  Jack Casady played bass for the Airplane
and Tuna, and was famous for his shades.  I bet Jim had Casady in mind, but
mixed him up with Jorma.  If he wanted a Jorma-type, he would've created a
character with lots of tattoos.
