The Guy Who Trained Bob Ross

Happy Accidents


Like many others who grew up in the 80s I have fond memories of watching Bob Ross. I will always love the show and I have been watching a good bit of it on YouTube recently.

That smile, that soft voice, that fro.
All those happy trees.
This man is immortal.

I Never Knew About His Teacher

This is the man who trained Bob Ross. He had a PBS show prior to Bob. Apparently they had a bitter rivalry that began not long after Bob's show became a success.

Either way, This guy was making happy trees and happy little clouds when Bob was still in the Airforce. His voice isn't as soothing, but it isn't bad. He is German. When I hear him talk I think of Heinrich the caterpillar/butterfly from A Bug's Life.

I picked this episode at random. I hope you enjoy it.
