Very few people imitating Johnny Costa can capture his speed and fluidity. Nailed it right here

That is some of the smoothest piano playing I've ever seen. That timing is impeccable!

John Costa's up there smiling. Fantastic rendition.

No matter how difficult life can get, this song will always make you smile.

Something about this piece of music breaks my heart.. im instantly in my grandmothers house its cold outside with a woodstove keeping the log house warm. Innocent to what this evil world has in-store... miss the good times we had

That was THE cleanest cover i have EVER HEARD!!! This man's fingers are FLEXIBLE! Omg what amazing talent!!!!

That was spectacular! The way you played Fred's beloved tune is significantly identical to that of the late and great musical director and jazz pianist, John Costa. They would be very proud of you sharing your own musical genius. Thanks for sharing it. Keep up the splendid work, neighbor. 143

In Greensboro North Carolina where I was born and raised they had a children museum back in the day and they had stations where it was designed like mini grocery stores for kids, children movie sets, actual fire truck etc. And they had Mr rogers neighborhood and kitchen design just like the real thing. You could blow bubbles and play with the train set etc. As a grown man now hearing this warmed my heart and I am literally teary eyed. Also, as a piano player myself.. I play by ear and I'm going to learn this piece.

Johnny Costa lives! You absolutely rocked this. This is one of the most incredible jobs I’ve ever seen anybody play “Won’t You Be My Neighbor!” Bravo to your impeccable job!

This song makes me want to change from dress shoes to sneakers! Well done Sir!

If I had the money I would pay him to write me his transcription for this. Amazing man

Damn that was good. Perfect sound.

I’ve never seen a video on KZfaq with no dislikes 😊 He truly brought us all together.

Beautiful 😢

Look at the smiles on those women's faces! This man is a true gift. Much respect, sir!

A beautiful rendition of this timeless classic.

Just amazing such wonderful talent and precision

Damn near as close to Costa as I've ever heard since 1996

Best I've heard since Costa. Spectacular!

That was wonderful! Simply amazing... I've been hitting the replay button like a madman! Beautiful sound, beautifully executed, as close to Johnny Costa's own as it gets!!

RIP Mr.Rogers we'll never forget the impact you brought in our childhoods!

Such a beautiful rendition of a timeless classic. Fred Rogers would be proud, sir.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood A beautiful day for a neighbor Won't you be mine, won't you be mine? It's a neighborly day in this beauty hood A neighborly day for a beauty Would you be mine, could you be mine? I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you So let's make the most of this beautiful day Since we're together we might as well say Would you be mine, could you be mine, won't you be my neighbor? Won't you please? Won't you please? Please won't you be my neighbor? Hi, internet neighbors! I'm glad we're together again! Just thought I'd put the lyrics here in case you wanted to sing along. And don't worry about whether you're any good or not... Just as long as you have fun doing it, that's all that matters.

Just when I thought I could play😳

Would it be ok if I used this audio as background music for my videos if I link to this video onscreen at the end of the video?

Dope

Really enjoyed this! Is the pianist jim petty ? Would love to see him perform more pieces!

👏

Did you study with John Costa? Cause it sounds just like him

Please ask your son: Johnny or Vince Guaraldi - who had better technique? I used to think they were one in the same. Id hear the Christmas music and think Freds guy made the record.

hello neighbor

It's a beautiful day in the Neighborhood, A beautiful day for a neighbor, Would you be mine? Could you be mine? It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood, A neighborly day for a beauty, Would you be mine? Could you be mine? I have always wanted to have a neighbor, Just like you. I've always wanted to live in the Neighborhood with you. So let's make the most of this beautiful day, Since we're together, we might as well say, Would you be mine? Could you be mine? Won't you be my neighbor? Won't you please? Won't you please? Please won't you be my neighbor.

Is this a new Knabe? Made by Samick in Korea?

It would be It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood without the added jazz notes.
