Yes, of course they garnered some new found attention for the old songwriter. Very pleased. My proudest moment is more of a gift than an achievement. This year I celebrated 23 years sobriety. I'm a recovering alcoholic and addict. My partner Tracey JAckson and I are writing a book for Penquin that will be published in Oct 2014 called "Gratitude and Trust, Recovery is Not Just For Addicts. It feels like one of the most important opportunities of my life. The attention I've received from my associations with Daft Punk, Disney, Henson and Co and as President and Chairman of the Board of ASCAP are all contributing to the best years of my life. I'm very grateful.

No. I'm stunned by the response to the song. But, it feels like a real nod to Jim's genius. Kermit is Every Frog .. He's the Jimmy Stewart of Frogs (If you ever saw "It's a Wonderful Life" you'll get that reference. The song works because it's got Jim's heart in it I think. I hope.

Thanks. Kenny Ascher and I wrote "The Rainbow Connection" .. Hope that's the one you're talking about. If you were thinking "It's not easy being green" that's the amazing Joe Riposo

Saw them on the Grammy's and was very impressed.

POTP was a well kept secret when it came out. I'm thrilled to say that these days many of the people I'm working with I have relationships with because of that film. Daft Punk, Guillermo Del Toro, some talented folk that enjoyed Phantom. The commentary on the music business was more Brian DePalma's than mine. I was well treated by the muzoids I did business with.
