Historical NotesPickguard used for a 1986 Vintage Heritage Jazz Guitar, Golden Eagle model. A performer from a young age, Joe Negri began playing the guitar as a teenager and joined a swing band at age 16. He entered Carnegie Tech in the 1950s to enhance his musical training. From there, he began a 40 year television career that began on KDKA before he moved on to WTAE where he was an "on air performer" and musical director. Children across the country remember him best as "Handyman Negri" on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
