I've read this somewhere. Toots did the original about 25 years ago, which ran for a very long time. Then a few years ago a New York harmonica player by the name of William Galison did an updated version for the show.
Toots got paid like $50 without residuals for a song that ran for 20 years. Mostly because it is a "not-for-profit" venture.
: Someone told me that Toots plays harmonica on the Sesame Street theme song. Any truth to that?
