The clever minds at PBS Digital Studios who brought you the video of 1980s television painting instructor Bob Ross, started with this charmingly auto-tuned tribute to Mr. Rogers. I think most of us have a warm spot in our hearts for the late Fred Rogers, his neighborhood and his enchanting Land of Make Believe. I think, certainly, that Mr. Rogers helped develop my natural love of puppets and puppetry.
Enjoy this bit of Friday Fun!
We all remember the man who gave us so many “happy little trees.” With a heart as big as his afro and a talent as deep as the plunge of his unbuttoned work-shirt, Bob Ross entertained people across the U.S. in his quest to encourage all of us to try our hand at painting.
PBS Digital Studios has created this clever music video, assembling clips from Ross’ show. With a bit of auto-tuning, they’ve created a song which, I’m sure, would have inspired Ross to create a lovely, fuzzy, misty landscape with mountains, happy little trees and, probably a snow-covered cottage. In an oval. Yes, it would have been in an oval.
