Hats off also to Jean Stackhouse, who was Nicholas’ piano teacher during the time of this taping when he was a student at New England Conservatory Preparatory School.
Wow! That must have been filmed about a quarter of a century ago as Nicholas Ma is now around 30!
Fred Rogers had a wonderful way with children, as in this touching example. What a surprise to see him with Yo Yo Ma and son. Seems Fred knew his way around the keyboard more than he was letting on in the clip.
Yo Yo and SON, AND a third person- FRED ROGERS, a humanist of virtuoso caliber, PBS/TV show creator and host of “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.”
Marvellous.
With their diverse inspirations of music, it is impossible to, even, imagine bringing together three more heartwarming, understated people, sharing humanitarian values that can, only, make the world a better place.
