There's a group of us getting together in honor of Bob Ross tonight. His birthday is October 29th and, had he not died in 1995, he would have been turning the big 66.Which of us can remember a rainy Saturday, in a home without cable, that did not warmly change with the soothing voice of Bob Ross? None. that's who... or was it just the Kirkers?
Chris decided a group needed to gather to commemorate, of course, so we're headed to the Greenhouse for a drink or three. Bob is an onion of layers and, if Wikipedia has anything to say about it, we'll know each of them by night's end.
Here's to you, man who coined, "happy little trees" and taught us it wasn't nearly as nerdy to paint in head-to-toe denim as long as you rock a white man's fro. We've all learned something here today.

The Moodys watched him too. I think my Mom, Blake, an Clay even painted along with him one time. Have fun celebrating this fantastic man!!
Bob Ross and Mr. Rogers - the two most tranquil guys TV has ever known.
We found him on cable tv the other night!!!!! It was like one in the morning and it was a WHOLE hour of Bob Ross. Which we watched. It was like finding a treasure.
loved watching him paint!
