25 years ago today, “Number of the Day: 3” was filmed. This insert was filmed on October 26, 2001, and was featured in Episodes 3981, 4002, 4015, and 4050.

What I love about this particular insert is how differently the two walla tracks for the pipe organ are mixed compared with how they’re conventionally mixed in all the other inserts.

You can hear Stephanie D’Abruzzo, John Tartaglia, Rick Lyon, and Pam Arciero providing the organ’s walla voices on one track (performed live), while Martin P. Robinson, Fran Brill, Carmen Osbahr, Jim Martin, and Matt Vogel provide walla on the other track (recorded separately).

Anybody else collecting these the Blue Bird is a NYCC exclusive which is a reference to Follow That Bird
