The Joe Raposo Tapes - 3

One of the cuter segments. This one finds Joe Raposo remarking that what he's up to at the piano behind a giggly little music student "makes his daughter crazy". Worth a thousand points for that and for scenes of Joe right there at work at the piano. I work with that age group and those giggles every day on my children's TV show. I have to say it is those giggles that make this job so worth it - and much more. Children are beautiful souls.

Here's how our favorite Sesame Street and Electric Company songs were born. Take a look.

"I've been playing he piano all my life, and I'm still learning." This man makes me proud to be a music teacher and a human being

It would be great to see a "where they are today" - this brings back lots of memories.

I remember some of these scenes shown on the PBS tribute special, "Sing - Sesame Street Remembers the Music of Joe Raposo", which coincidentally premiered the day Jim Henson died.
