I too miss Art ALOT. I miss the way he spoke under the opening song so you could really hear the song and he played it all the way through. It started things out with a nice trippy feel. The very first time I heard George I could hear the similarity in his voice timber to Art's. I really think that's why they picked him. Just because his voice quality is similar and when he started they were just trying to offer basic animal comfort to an audience they knew was grieving. And the voice similarity provided that basic physical level of comfort. They didn't know at that point how inept he would prove to be.
