Mister Rogers' Neighborhood

Season 15 Episode 11: 1546 - Making Music: Meet Neighborhood Musical Director John Costa

Mister Rogers has been thinking about music and arrives with a pitch pipe to demonstrate for viewers. Leaving the television house through the "fourth wall," he introduces the studio musicians -- Johnny Costa, Carl McVicker, and Bob Rawsthorne. Each musician plays their part of Won't You Be My Neighbor before they all join together to play the song as it sounds during the show's introduction. Returning to the porch, Mister Rogers starts his television visit again but has his singing interrupted by a phone call from Joe Negri. Mister Rogers sings Did You Know before Mr. McFeely delivers a magnetic board showing a blank music staff. Mister Rogers sticks a few notes on the board and plays them on the piano.
