You’ll be surprised to know that the man inside “Dancing Bear” was none other than (might want to sit down for this) Alice Cooper. I forget what his real name was. Anyway, it was Vermonter Capt Kangaroo who introduced Cooper to Jim Henson at a Chinese restaurant, hence his subsequent appearance on The Muppet Show. Small world.
