RE: Juanita
Recently, Johnny Maestro passed.He was a great Doo Wop singer.Back in 1957 he had a hit song with the Crests.The name of the song was My Juanita.As best as I can recall,his version differs quite a bit from Barney's. -- Somebody had to get it right sooner or later.

You're funny, you are
Barney suggested they go wax the steps at the nursing home. That one makes me laugh, although I don't know why. I work in a nursing home. Kind behind the eyes ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: one more cartoon voice
I said I was through compiling the many, many TAGS alumni who did at least one cartoon voice in their time, but that's before I left out quite possibly the most obvious one: Winnie the Pooh himself, Sterling Holloway! In fact the Winnie the Pooh cartoons were a virtual Mayberry reunion with all the alumni recording voices. Dixon ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Real Voice or Lip Synching?
I'm not sure about Joanna Moore's singing (sounds like her though)but Elinor Donahue has told the story about her singing experience on the show. When she learned there would be singing in the episode she was very nervous. She'd never sung on camera before. She and Andy went into the studio where she told Andy that she was a little nervous. To put her at ease Andy suggested that they both sit on the floor and reherse. After they had practiced for a while she told Andy she thought that she was ready. Andy told her that they had been recording the whole time and they had what they needed. WHat a great testiment to how Andy took the pains to make her comfortable. Attaboy Andy!! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
First Female in the Barbershop
I would think the first female to enter Floyd's Barber Shop would be Ellie Walker in Episode 19 Mayberry on Record. I believe she comes in and listens to Andy and the boys playing their instruments. If there was someone before this I certainly can't recall. One small step for Miss Ellie and one giant step for all women of Mayberry.

Cartoon Voices
Ron Howard played the voice of the character Tom Colonic in the Fareley brothers' movie Osmosis Jones. It is a part live action and part animation film, so I guess that counts because he was only in the animatied portions. I use this film in my anatomy physiology classes to illustrate how the immune system works. Steve ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Mayberry Presentation
I did my Mayberry presentation at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire Senior America Day this afternoon. I had an enthusiastic group of over 60 seniors attend. Every single one of them raised a hand when I asked if they watched and enjoyed TAGS over the years. That's the kind of group I love having for an audience. I made a commitment with a teacher in the audience to do a presentation for their summer school session in June. It will be fun to do one with kids. I uploaded several video clips of my presentation to my face book page so if you would like to see what I do feel free to visit my page and check them out. Each clip is only a few minutes. In one of them I pay tribute to our good friend David Browning for being the person who gave me my uniform.

it's in the genes
To show that watching TAGS is generational, it's one of the few shows that my 80 year Mom will watch and although my 80 year old Dad won't watch TV at all anymore he still likes to talk about Barney (no, not the big purple guy) and then I am a huge fan (of course, or I wouldn't be on here now) and my son was watching a 1946 Bing Crosby movie today called Blue Skies and he hollered out, There's Ben Weaver! Folks, we've got to keep this Circle of Mayberry Life going and not let it die out Andrea (My husband's been known to roll his pantlegs up like Opie) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
TAGS Voices in Flintstones Episodes
Howard Morris and Hal Smith voiced numerous characters on The Flintstones. Some of Howard's voices were the patriarch of the Hatrocks, Anne Margaret's agent, the sponsor for Anne's show at the Bedrock Bowl, the director in the Larry Lava episode and the banker when Fred and Wilma keep taking out and returning the $80. There are more. Hal Smith did the voice of the owner of the bus company where Fred drove (A.A. Carborundum) the clerk in the court house when Betty and Barney adopted Bam Bam, the host of Peek a Boo Camera, the host of The Prize is Price and one of Fred's golfing buddies. Again there are more. And yesAlan Melvin..the service station owner where Fred and Barney are stuck to the bowling ball, the crook where Betty is inadvertently passing the phoney bills for the counterfeiters, one of the Water Buffalo members (the Way Out episode) and one of the police officers in the same episode. Bernard Fox: Pebbles and Bam Bam's manager when they were singing stars. His character was Eppy Brianstone which was a parody of long time Beatles manager Brian Epstein. These guys were just so prolific and versatile. Nick, in Ontario, Canada. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Emmy Schmaltz
In the episode featuring Steve Quincy called One Punch Opie, Barney tells Andy to put on a dress and get into the comic strips and be another Emmy Schmaltz. Emmy Schmaltz was featured in the comic strip Moon Mullins. I think she was Moon's landlady, kinda like Mrs. Mendlebright. Moon Mullins was also mentioned by Wally in the episode Man In A Hurry. Orville Hendricks - Still selling butter and eggs. My landlady is Martha. No hotplates, no 75 watt bulbs, no sleeping with the lights on, no nothing. Another that I know I will get the quote wrong is why don't you put on a dress and be a regular Emma Smaltz(???). Not sure about the name.

prize
Well I did not win a refrigerator, but I won a consolation prize in a publisher's clearinghouse sweepstakes and it is a set of stainless steel pots and pans with lifetime guarantee. I trust that I will not have to pay any taxes on it and I will not invite anyone over to see it maybe. ha ha I am going to put out pots and plant sweet william seeds in them for spring if it stays nice.
