Feb. 20 was the 50th anniversary of the first appearance of the ?Mister Rogers? Neighborhood? TV show. Mr. Rogers often talked about love, kindness, acceptance, inner strength and being creative. Many of us watched his show with our kids, always learning something each day.
We don?t hear much, if any, of this on TV recently. I for one, feel we need more of this type of programming for our kids and grandkids to see on TV. Mr. Rogers? spoke in a soft and calm manner, much different from most shows on TV now.
On March 23, in Des Moines a concert, as a tribute to Mr. Rogers,? with some of the songs from the show, will be performed in a ?jazzed up? form. The show begins at 7 p.m. at the River Center, 340 S.W. Third Street. Mr. Rogers? died in 2003.
