- <p> When it comes to First Ladies, Big Bird is unflappable.
- He's met five of them, but Barbara Bush is the only one to have
- made a special trip to the Manhattan set of Sesame Street.
- During a taping last week to be aired this winter, the
- grandmother of eleven felt at ease reading aloud to a group of
- kids but was reluctant to undertake her own rendition of the
- popular ditty Sing. "I'm 64, I should not be doing this," she
- joked. Instead of a solo, as had been planned, she asked Big
- Bird to squawk along with her. By the time the two got to the
- chorus (La la la la la), she had regained confidence: "I can do
- that." Birds of a feather . . .
