Back from the dead: Lorenzo Music..?

Anyone heard the new Nantucket Nectars commercials, where they make fun
of their granola image? I could swear the voice was Lorenzo Music.
Only not dead.

Friend of ours calls drinks like that "hummingbird feed."

Oh, I'm sure.. it just seems odd that someone would deliberately do that
except when voicing Garfield. I mean, I can do a pretty good Michael
McDonald, and a better Kermit than Brian Henson, but I wouldn't do
either for a juice ad. Perhaps he's gone from a unique voice to being a
"style", like Don LaFontaine and Hal Douglas.

Oops. Right you are. Apparently it's Steve Whitmire.

Agreed. I do a dead-on Kermit - to the point where one friend insisted
I never do it again, because it freaked her out - and I was very miffed
that one young child wasn't too impressed with it, until I realized that
at her age, she had probably never heard Jim Henson.

I think this is true of the Muppets overall; like the Flintstones, they
were really written for adults as much as children. Today, Big Bird
sees Snuffleuppagus, and the guy who bangs his head on the piano is
gone.
