Foggy Bottom redux

I must have my wires crossed.
Check it out. We lived in DC
during the Watergate Scandal.
I've been to the Foggy Bottom
area many, many times.

Now what was the name of that Jug Band?

Ok, got it. The name of the rock band that challenged
Emmet's Jug Band was "The Riverbottom Nightmare Band"

I still don't remember what Emmet's band called themselves.

Anyone? Anyone? Beuhler? Beuhler? Beuhler?

Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas (1977)

Based on a book by Russell and Lillian Hoban, this Christmas story is about Ma and Emmet Otter—a family that has little more than each other. When a talent show is held in town, a fifty-dollar prize gives them each hope of buying the other a real present this year. Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas marked the first time puppets were radio controlled.

Christmas is approaching in Frogtown Hollow, and Emmet Otter and his Ma hope to buy gifts for each other. Unfortunately, Emmet doesn't make enough from the odd jobs he does, and Ma doesn't make enough as a laundress. They decide to compete in the Frog Town Hollow Talent Contest in order to win money, but Ma will have to hock Emmet's tool chest to buy a costume, and Emmet will have to put a whole in Emmet's washtub for his band! Kermit the Frog hosts this classic Muppet musical Christmas tale, based on the book by Russell and Lillian Hoban, with original songs from master tunesmith Paul Williams.
