another Otis--sort of
I was watching Celebrity Apprentice last night. The Celebrities had to create a work of Art to auction off for charity. Actor Gary Busey is on there, and he is kind of scatter-brained. (it might be due to a head injury). Anyway for his work or art, he painted a Water Buffalo. It looked for all the world like Otis's Mosaic of a Cow. Just a simple animal in from of green grass and a blue sky. Someone actually paid $5000 for it..but it was basically a donation. Maybe Otis's cow should have been auctioned off for AA?? Thanks for all the dialog about our favorite show, and its stars! Its been said before but this Digest is often the highlight of my day...an oasis of small town pleasure in the midst of the jungle of a business world out there.

Steve Martin interview
Comedian/Actor/Writer/Banjo picker/Wild and Crazy Guy Steve Martin has some kind words to say about The Dillards and in particular Doug Dillard in his interview with Bob Edwards. You can download/listen to the podcast on iTunes (Bob Edwards Weekend - 4/1/11 eps) now and eventually on his website (http://www.bobedwardsradio.com/bob-edwards-weekend/). The band he plays with is the Steep Canyon Rangers, who I know are big TAGS fans. Jeff ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Howard McNear and the Taylor home
I saw Howard McNear on The Leave Leave It To Beaver show playing,of all things,a barber and giving Wally his first shave at the request of Ward Cleaver.He also played a real estate agent on The Ozzie And Harriet Show. Can anyone tell me why the Taylors had a room for Gomer and Frank Meyers to stay in But when uncle Ollie and aunt Nora visited with Rodger and Bruce,they all had to double up and when Malcom Tucker decided to stay overnight Opie had to "Adventure Sleep" on the ironing board?

Re: Thelma Lou & Barney
The farmer who tried to steal Thelma Lou was Big Jeff Pruitt. And how about Edgar Coleman, the fellow from church who spent an evening gluing hymnbook covers with her? What about her and Edgar Coleman? That's all I can think of right now. Anyone else?

Lum and Abner, Pine Ridge
Alan had mentioned Pine Ridge here and on his podcast. I live in Arkansas which is where Lum and Abner - both the characters of the show and the men who played them where from. I enjoy listening to Lum and Abner, not quite as much as I like watching Andy of course. I work on a computer and listen to the show as I work. It is a great show to listen to on roadtrips too! Todays Pine Ridge Arkansas used to be Waters Arkansas. After the show made the town famous, Waters Arkansas changed it's name to Pine Ridge which was a fictitious name that Lum and Abner had used instead of the towns real name. The show was based on the town and people of Waters Arkansas. Chester Lauck's (Lum's) father owned a general store in Waters like the one depicted in the show. There is now a museum about the Lum and Abner show in Pine Ridge Arkansas. Pine Ridge Arkansas is East of Mena between Mena and Oden.

Thelma Lou and Barney
We were thinking the other day of how many times someone tried to "steal" Thelma Lou from Barney. We thought of threeGomer, Opie, and that farmer we can't remember the name of. Can you think of anymore? -Barn & Thel in Arkansas ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
