I can remember the original TV broadcast (around 1977ish?)

I certainly hope he gave them one of his famous lectures -

Enjoyed this. Buddy could be a real asshole, but I love to watch him play.

Indeed! In fact, here's a photo of them modeling their new suits from Buddy (remember, this was during Buddy's "hip" period):

My son has a clip of Buddy and Jerry Lewis doing a "drum battle" on an old MD Telethon. Pretty amazing stuff, and in a lot of ways...

"When I play a theater, I play the theater!"

Pretty entertaining to watch. I've been listening to "Blues Caravan" a ton lately and although I'm not a fan of Buddy's long solos, I've gained a ton of respect for his groups and his music.

Traps the Drum Wonder meets the Muppets! It's a match made in heaven!
