THE NEIGHBORHOOD ARCHIVE - All Things Mister Rogers | ||
Episode 1546Topic: Music
Mr. Negri stops by the house with a young friend, Niki Hoeller. Niki is a six-year-old pianist who performs two classical pieces using Mister Rogers' piano. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, King Friday plays the bass violin as Handyman Negri plays the guitar. During their duet, Miss Paulificate does a short tap dance before she presents a message to King Friday. The letter informs the King that Neighbor Aber will be visiting with a suggestion from Mayor Maggie. Neighbor Aber arrives and mentions that Mayor Maggie would like to plan a festival to bring all neighborhoods together. King Friday's idea is to have a bass violin festival but unfortunately, he is the only one who can play that particular instrument. Before they leave, Miss Paulificate and Neighbor Aber share a dance leaving Handyman Negri alone at the castle. Lady Elaine approaches him with her new "bass violin" -- an accordian shaped in the image of a bass violin. Back at the house, 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. NotesSegments from this week's episodes are featured on the VHS release Music and Feelings. Appearing In This Episode
