I will never forget in 2023 when my 3 year old looked at the TV and said, " oh mister rogers i love you." this man gave more than an expression of care....
The message is simple and ever evident... stated fabulously.... and to think he started life as a busker...!
Say what you want to...but Mr. Rogers was a safe, non-judging haven for a lot of kids who didn't have that in real life😊
I didn’t expect to like this, but, yeah!❤
Barely two minutes in and holding back some tears.
What great musicians playing for the nicest person in the world.
Fred Rogers was on Johnny Carson, and it was the most respectful and insightful interview I've seen.
Utmost respect.
So Johnny Costa was playing pure, unadulterated stride piano on this show. Amazing!
I'm so proud to be from Pittsburgh ❤
You’ve got a nice city. 🙂 I have been a couple of times. Considered going to Pitt for college.
@@TheAmpico Thank-you so much! It truly is a great city, and friendly people. As for college, Pitt, CMU and Duquesne are all great Universities. I'm from Southern Ontario - St Catharines, between Toronto and Buffalo, but have lived in Pittsburgh for a number of years. It's got its ups and downs just like every other metro area. Being in the Great Lakes/Midwest, the winters are cloudy, and what can only be described as gloomy from November through May. Unlike Niagara where I'm from, Pittsburgh is just below the snow belt, so there is not nearly as much snow as further North. Winters can be cold, but usually temps stick around the 30s and 40s in the day, teens and 20s at night. Summers are comfortable, some days are hot and muggy, but any days over 100 degrees only happen once in a 20-25 year period. Transit is great, the airport is new, the roads... well, haha... the roads are terrible. Urban planning back in the day wasn't prepared for the eventual use of expressways, etc. The food is awesome, lots of great restaurants, lots of culture, and throughout the year, there are lots of things to do, whether in the city, or in one of the suburbs. It's still generally safe, compared to Cleveland, Detroit, Philly and NY. It's very similar to Columbus (not sure if you've been there - that's also a great city). Didn't mean to write a novel haha, but hit me up if you move here, would be happy to buy you lunch or dinner, show you some of the sights!
5:10 I'm 55 years old, watching Johnny at the baby grand piano at King Friday's castle, and thinking, how on earth did they get that huge piano through that tiny trolley tunnel?

@@francochanLOL yep, it's all still completely real to me.
Watch the movie Honey I Shrunk the Kids for your answer. That's what is so great about The Neighborhood of Make-Believe.
Thank God for memories!😊
I often wonder what happened to that golden brown Steinway Johnny was playing on as shown in 2:58. I strongly believe episode 1610 was the last time they taped episodes while utilising this golden brown Steinway. There is a noticeable difference in the sound of the piano from episode 1611 onwards to the very last episode - this was the smaller black Steinway that was used for the remainder of the series. The same smaller black Steinway we know was donated to the Pittsburgh Jazz Center.
I've wondered the same thing. I know that it was a model B from the 60s or 70s. Not Steinway's best era, but it sure does sound nice when Johnny plays. I hope it was saved. I know Fred and Joanne Rogers had two Steinway D concert grands as well. Joanne had Fred's restored and gave it to a museum. His grandmother gave him the money to buy it when he was a child. It is discussed in detail in his biography.bIt would be nice to know what became of the other one.
Believe I read that Costa never played the same way twice. Everything was always pure improv
What a guy. Tatum called him "The White Tatum." I heard that none of the music for Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was recorded until Costa got sick with cancer. Not sure how true that is, but I'd believe it.
I never play the same way twice. Each pass has different mistakes.
I have to hold in my tears because I have mascara on
Crying always
He was my childhood memories he was amazing
Does anyone remember Johnny Costa on piano, Joe Negri on guitar and Don Riggs on drums (brushes) on WTAE, channel 4, on weekend mornings? Was it the Joe Negri trio?
I assume this would have been in Pittsburgh?
Yes, in Pittsburgh. It was a different, a wonderful time, back then.
@@cindyd.1816 Pittsburgh was a great place to grow up. As you said, "back then".
❤❤❤
Wow
They didn't call him the white Art Tatum for nothing, damn.
As a kid, I hated the music the most on this show. Little kids didn't like or know what to make of it. As a kid I thought Fred Rogers was really creepy too.
I'm sorry that you felt that way, but I'm not sure that applies to everyone. I know that many people (including myself) greatly enjoyed Mister Rogers.
The stuffed cat is what freaked me out:D
@@luxuriousfir Every character on the show was creepy for kids, the mailman, all the guests, the puppets, the voices, the trolly. The problem was it was a live person show but all the people acted really strange. I didn't watch it much but with 3 channels, sometimes you had to. The most disturbing part is Mr. Rogers was actually like that in real life. That's not normal.
@@richardmckrell4899 understandable. I don't trust anything that comes out of Hollywood.
@@richardmckrell4899 To each their own, I guess.
