- Hi, Telly!
- Hey, Itzhak.
- It's nice to see you again!
- It's good to see you!
- Do you remember when we did this thing
where you were playing the tuba?
(deep bass notes)
- (laughing) I certainly do!
- Do you remember the song?
Let me play you the song, let's see if you can remember it.
- You brought your violin!
- I did, and I've got it right here!
- Ah, such a good idea.
- Well, let's try, I'll play it through,
tell me if you recognize it.
- All right, I'm listening.
(playing Beethoven's "Minuet in G")
(playing tuba accompaniment of Beethoven's "Minuet in G")
- Where's your tuba?
I miss your tuba.
- Uh, I - I don't have it today.
- Well, it sounded like you were playing the tuba,
I like the way you were playing the tuba.
- I was playing it in my head, you want me to sing with you?
- Uh, mm, stick to your day job of the tuba.
- Good call, good call.
- This is Itzhak Perlman, and I want to wish
"Sesame Street" a happy fiftieth anniversary,
right, Telly, from you too, right?
- 50, yes, from me too.
- Okay, very good.
Happy fiftieth.
- From both of us.
- All right.
