"Sigh. I miss Bob "happy little trees" Ross."

Did he pass away?

My oldest son, who is now 23, used to watch him on PBS. My son was 5 or 6 at the time, and he'd sit there mezmerized.

He did have about the most soothing tone I've heard on television.

Yes, he died in 1995. Although Bob Ross incorporated apparently lives on.

Mesmerized is exactly right. Some form of evil painters mind control. LOL.

He died about 5 years ago. Some stations still carry his shows, though. His products are still sold in craft stores and some art supply stores.
