Flash

Flash as he is seen in Muppets Tonight

Flash is the saxophone player from the band Solid Foam.

He is very popular with the girls. Sometimes it's kind of hard to tell what he's saying, because he mumbles a lot (though he does sing coherently).

Primarily a saxophone player, Flash played the fiddle in The Jim Henson Hour episode 109.

Flash's puppet was given a smooth wig and performed by Jerry Nelson for the Flipper parody in Muppets Tonight episode 110, as well as being one of the goons attacking Jean-Dodd van Clamme in episode 205.

Steve Whitmire stated that he originally designed Flash to resemble his brother (who at the time, was a drummer in a rock band). Flash was first sketched with dark hair, but the puppet builder gave the character blonde hair to resemble Steve Whitmire instead.[1]
