This is Christian, the very talented drummer for the local party band -The Teter Todders… that is until until Tuesday, then he will be part of the United States Air Force when he reports to basic training in Texas. Tonight was the party/show/send off he deserves. Congratulations Christian, it has been an honor to watch and photograph you over the last year. Take care and stay safe, thank you for your service and never put those drumsticks down.

“Animal is the primitive man and crazed drummer of Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, the fictional band from the Muppet show.”  This is the opening sentence from the Animal Wikipedia page,  there really is not much for me to write about this pic, so I figured I would look him up on Wikipedia and see what they had about him.  There are some interesting facts, being Wikipedia, I’m going to assume that their true. Did you know that Animal had been performed by Frank Oz from his 1st appearance of the Muppet Show until the year 2000?  Since then he’s been handed around to a couple different performers, but what I found interesting is that Howie Mandel  and Uncle Joey, from Full House, both voiced him on the Muppet Babies cartoon. I really don’t remember Baby Animal having many lines in that show. In addition, when Frank Oz was unable to voice him on the Muppet Show, the fill-in voice was Kevin Clash of Elmo fame. It is fair to say I know too much about Animal now,  And so do you.
