I would like to pay tribute and give credit to all of the Artwork I have borrowed from a variety of Artists for this great en devour.
Though they no longer reside on the grand stage of life, I prefer to believe they are now a part of a larger growing audience that hopes dearly to be entertained.
For his kind voice and instruction. They served as lullaby’s in my youth. I never slept better as a child. Thank you Bob, you were a good friend to me, and you still remain a good friend to me even still.
Sometimes we need a vacation, other times we just need Bob Ross.
