Why yes, I CAN tell you how to get to Sesame Street!
I love NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts, which cover a wide range of musicians, types of music, and has been around for quite some time. So I just had to watch the Sesame Street edition that came out today. It made me smile and brought back a plethora of memories: sitting on the shag carpeted living room floor of my favorite grandmother {which is why I chose to be called "grandma" by my husband's younger grandchildren}, watching the show along with 4321 Contact, Electric Company, School House Rock, Hatchy Milatchy, Mr. Roger's, and almost any other children's programming on PBS on the large wood~framed floor unit TV that was rather popular thru the sixties and seventies. Grandma's was one of the only places I could watch TV, but only for an hour or two, when we visited from our own home that was about two or three hours away. I had to sit a good distance from the TV, and if I did sing or dance along with the characters, I had to do so quietly, so that I would not disturb the adults. I do know there were several times I got carried away and belted out "sing, SING a SONG" and capered about, jumping, spinning, and attempting to turn cartwheels which ended with me merely tumbling across the floor because I had terrible balance, but I didn't care; the pure joy of Sesame Street's character's inviting ME to join with all the other children was too much to keep stifled into a cross legged seated position.
