Thanks Sesame Street !!!!!!

Hooray for Sesame Street!

I'm 52 years old, so the timing of the program was PERFECT for me.  Watched it every day as a kid.

Don't know if I watched it every day, but I liked it a lot. And I have a Marcos Valle album (Brazilian) which was done (at the beginning of the 70s) I don't know if inspired by it or as an original soundtrack to some episodes. It's very good, and it has that crazy Far-Near things plus very Sesame Street music.

Speaking of Big Bird - if you're a Van Dyke Parks buff, look for a copy of Follow That Bird, a totally delightful Sesame Street feature-length picture with a equally totally delightful score and songs by Parks. We bought it for the kids back in the day, but I found myself sitting down to it myself more than once, just for Parks' music.

Sesame Street: 

A big hit among us boys (our little group of jazz fans then) was the version of the theme, done by the Singers Unlimited with Oscar Peterson.
