  • This is a cover of the Mr. Rogers theme song I did a few years back for fun. I grew up with Mr. Fred Rogers as a little kid, and had great admiration for him as well as Johnny Costa for his amazing and complex jazz piano arrangements. I tried to incorporate a little Johnny Costa feel in this, but can't do justice to the original Master of Pittsburgh Jazz Piano.

    Here I am. a 39 year old guy crying like a baby.
    But I know Mr Rogers would tell me it's OK to be sad...

      I would watch this show everyday as a child. I cried so much when he passed away. I'm 17 now, but I can't help but tear up.

    • @angelusnielson7135
      @angelusnielson7135 7 лет назад +21

      Remember, he would say that it's OK to be sad and I don't doubt for a moment he would be happy that his lessons are still remembered and cherished.
      Be the neighbor he would want you to be and live a good life. Keep MR Rogers in your heart.

    I'm 17. But I was lucky enough to have Mr. Rogers on as a kid. PBS was the best. I was literally sobbing when I heard the theme again as my teacher gave me the sheet music for it.

    I wish Mr Rogers lived long enough to have a RUclips channel where he painted, taught piano and told real life stories of inspiring people, and I’m English, so I didn’t even grow up watching him, that’s how far his message reached

    I always loved it when Mr. Rogers came on, I still remember the opening and would sing along with Rogers. What a kind and honest man he was. The world learned an awful lot from this man. I want to be able to share that same kind of love and affection with people today, and if we can do that together, I think this world will be a much kinder and prettier place.

    I would watch Mr.Rogers when I was little. My parents were going through a divorce at the time and it was just such a shitty time in my life. I would go home excited just to watch the show. Till this day i can't help but tear up at the theme. I wish he was still alive so I could tell him the difference he made in my life...
