This season will also mark the 20th anniversary of two of the show's charter cast members — singer-actor Bob McGrath and Caroll Spinney, the man inside Big Bird, They recalled their beginnings on the now historic PBS children's series at a recent news corfference. ‘When I first heard about it, I didn’t think I wanted to be involved there was nothing that exciting in terms of children’s shows at: that point,"’ said McGrath, who had been featured on the Mitch Miller show and joined Sesame Street in 1969. “But when I saw some of the film and animation that Jim Henson and some of the other people had done, I knewsthis was really something quite out of the ordinary from what had been on television before."’ The producers of the show expect to add new graphics and use more films this season, including ones by director Jonathan Demme and photo- grapher-artist William Wegman, a likely response to the the trend toward kids’ shows like smile when you Say that \, SUMMER HOURS Monday to Saturday, 5:30 a.m. - 8 p.m. Pee-wee’s Playhouse. Guest,stars will include Lily Tom- lin, Tracey Ullman, Susan St. James, Rhea Perlman and James Galway, among others One of the major episodes last season was the wedding of characters Luis and Maria. This season's finale will be the birth of their baby. The producers hope to see the baby grow up on the show. Producer-director Lisa Simon said a search is on for expectant parents who would be willing to let the show follow their *s growth. Big Bird has become the show's biggest star, but he didn't start out that way, said Spinney CHARTER CAST MEMBER . . . Singer-actor Bob McGrath, along with Carroll Spinney, the man in- side Big Bird, are the only two members of A peripheral character in the early episodes, he was sort of ‘‘the village idiot,"" Spinney said. “One day, I realized he was really a child,"’ said Spinney. ‘‘One of the scripts said he had to go to day care or something. So I said, we really should play him as a child.”” Big Bird came to embody ‘‘all the fears of children and things they have to learn — a wide-eyed view of the world,’’ said Spinney. ‘‘He grad- ually learned to read and write and so he grew from 4, which I felt he was at the beginning, to 614, which is where he stays."” Spinney carefully protects Big Bird's real identity from children, but admits when he sees a child toting one of the big yellow dolls, “I keep wanting to say, you know, (he goes into Big Bird's high voice) ‘Hey, I do that!""" Both Spinney and McGrath said the rewards of working for children are great, though the task is some- times exasperating. McGrath does a lot of concerts and benefits as his Sesame Street char- acter. Children, he said, ‘‘are a Sesame Street who have been with the children’s TV series since its start 20 years ago wonderful audience. First of all, they're very, very honest. I had a little girl in Vancouver some years ago. I was shaking hands after a concert. She had me lean over to her and said (he drops to a stage whisper), ‘You know something, Bob?’ And I said, ‘No, what?’ ‘Up close, you don’t look too good.’"’ When children visit the set they in- evitably will see the man get out of the bird suit at some point. But ‘most of them will contiriue ta talk to the puppet even though you're stand- ing there holding it,"’ Spinney said August 21, 1988 Castlégar News a7 AWARD-WINNING QUILT . . .

DO SLUGS CRAWL There's a radio commercial that depicts some beer lovers worrying that their favorite brand will become well known and their secret will be out That seems to be the case with Vancouver's mercurial Doug and the Slugs. With albums like Tomcat Prowl (Ritdong), there seems little question that if the Sluggies were American, they’d have been stars long ago As it is, they're under-appreciated, but their fans don’t mind. Doug and the Slugs are the best bar band in Canada; if they were big stars their fans would get to see them less often Tomcat Prowl has a more refined, hi-tech sound and it's more dance- oriented than previous Slug records, but it still has the wiseacre per- sonality of singer-comedian Doug Bennett and the delirium of a house party in full swing The Slugs are an all-purpose band, and they do it all well. They swing like a hot R and B band, peel off memorable melodies and rock it out with the gusto of Huey Lewis, especially on the title track. Occasionally there may be a tend- ency to pump home-grown bands just because they're Canadian. No need here. Get slimed by the Slugs IN GOOD VOICE American Pat Benatar built a career out of making hard rock in- offensive by couching it in pop, but now that pop metal is dominating the charts, she really lets the fur fly. Thus, Wide Awake in Dreamland (Chrysalis) is Benatar’s hardest rock- ing album and it might be just the thing to revive her flagging career. Her previous records were marked by a sense of caution and calculation, but the new record has impressive signs of inspiration.
