Not even a mention of Johnny Costa?


This was the iconic pianist that fearlessly brought straight-up jazz into every American household for decades. You can’t think about Mr. Rogers without hearing Johnny Costa and his band ripping it up every week! It’s 1/4 the reason I watched the show.

The doc kind of made it seem like Fred was the sole source of musicality. But Fred loved Johnny and what he brought to the show. In my opinion, it’s like talking about Spielberg and not at least *mentioning* John Williams.
