Song of the Day #2056

Song of the Day: Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood (“Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”), written and performed by Fred Rogers, opened this PBS series, which aired from 1968 to 2001. There’s a certain poignancy in the gentle lyrics to this lovely TV theme. It was also featured in the 2019 film, “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” starring Tom Hanks as Mister Rogers. Hanks sings the theme in the film, but there’s nothing like the original [YouTube links].
