This is a music related thread. And I think it could be argued that it is related to folk music.

Mister Roger's Neighborhood is being discontinued and Fred Rogers is going to be putting his energies into new endeavors.

For at least two generations, Fred Rogers has been bringing an appreciation for music of all forms to children all over the US (any other countries?). He was especially aware of, and appreciative of different folk cultures, and showcased them from time to time on his show.

And one of my favorite moments in the history of his show was when he sat with world renowned cellist, Yo Yo Ma, and discused music in a way that made it accessible and friendly to children.

I wonder how many people got their first taste and real appreciation for music from that gentle man.

Bye-bye, Mister Rogers. We'll miss you.
