Mr. Rogers Dispenses Comfort
Audio
Coming and Going. Fred Rogers, Youngheart Music. CD: $13.98; cassette: $10.98. (800) 541-9904. “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” is still a quiet, creative haven for preschoolers on PBS stations nationwide, and calm and gentle Fred Rogers is a beloved TV icon to countless fans, many of whom are now parents and college kids who grew up with the series. This new release captures the flavor of the shows through the music that’s so central to them, including Rogers’ signature songs, “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” and “It’s Such a Good Feeling” and “Be Brave, Be Strong,” “Look and Listen,” “I’m Still Myself Inside” and a dozen more.
Always reassuring, Rogers eases fears and even demystifies loud sounds. There’s even a visit to the “Neighborhood of Make Believe.”
Other recordings in the series: “You Are Special,” “You’re Growing” and “Bedtime.”
