My sister lives in Pittsbugh

She used to cross paths with Fred Rogers.

That's right. She lived in Mister Roger's Neighborhood.

I used to sit with a guitar while the kids were watching and try to play along with kids shows theme music. Barney was very unimaginitive. Sesame Street (esp. the old theme) had blues ties, but Mr. Roger's music was tough to follow along. It's jazz related, but it's the kind of jazz that fits with what you would expect from a 1950's presbyterian music major.

I remember when it used to be in black and white. It took a couple years longer to switch over than the commercial stations.
