The Smile

When your out preforming whether it be with a stage or impromptu the smile is the best part.

When a pullet is seen by a child it brightens their day. And for some adults its memories that bring

it back to life in there mind.

Even with technology at the front of many eyes, digital generated images fill the mind. A zombie

fantasy based folly. Don't get me wrong. I love digital imagery and the great movies that have

generated from it. But we need to come back to reality once and awhile.

Its the movement of the strings like a marionette or hand puppetry of different styles. The muppets

or created puppets. Even bought hand puppets like Folkmantis Puppets. I myself am a amateur

hand puppeteer. And when I have taken my crew(puppets) out and about. I get a glee from

many ages.

Mr Rogers was a great influence on my desire to love puppets. Madame and some Ventriloquists

also intrigued me. Terry Fator is one who gave me more to want with puppetry. Now some don't

think of Ventriloquists as puppeteers. They are a more advance puppeteer. To throw your voice is

a great skill.

A smile brings joy to my heart. a laugh or giggle. Seniors and older people bring to me their memories. Of days of young as there mind brings them youth again. I so love to see the happiness

a puppet can bring. Its old school being reborn
