 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Big Bird introduces who and what he'll be bringing: his back-up singers, the Tweet Along Little Birdies (inspired by Polly Darton's Git Along Little Doggies), and a giant rock, which Telly carries. ("If you have a rock concert, you gotta have a rock.") Big Bird explains that his tour will go everywhere, and with a map he describes the route: first the Fix-It Shop, then Hooper's Store, and finally at the bus stop. When questioned why his tour is only limited to Sesame Street, Big Bird explains that he's not old enough to cross the street by himself yet.For this airing of the street scene, the map of Sesame Street originally used is replaced with a new map incorporating the Around the Corner area.
