Mayberry Days
I just want to say a great big thank you to Mt. Airy (Mayberry), the surry arts council, the stars of the show, the character imposters Barney, Otis, Floyd, Goober, Howard , etc, the shops especially Debbie and Darrell at Mayberry on main, and all the people who attended, for another great vacation. It was such a trill to win the trivia contest. I feel like Aunt Bee after she was flying high alone, or Goober after eating 57 pancakes. In fact I really felt like I ate 57 pancakes A special thanks go to Dr. Dennis Beal (Mr Schump) and Pat Bullins for all the encouragement they have shown to me. Thanks again Mayberry see ya next year. Mike The Scamp Haviland ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Loaded Goat Music
Hi Gang, In listening to the Bible Study (Loaded Goat), I remembered a certain bit of music that occurs (maybe more than this one time) when Jimmy (the goat) is wandering around town. Initially, I thought it was Prokofiev (part of the Lieutenant Kije Suite (Kije's Wedding)). Sometimes, Earl has incorporated traditional music into the TAGS score to great effect, and while classical music hasn't been done that often, I still thought it was possible that he had included the Prokofiev piece, arranged to fit the show. However, it is just different enough to be uniquely Earl's. Here's the Prokofiev piece (it's the part with the 'walking tempo' brass part - starting at about :19). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGB-5ZmjSz8feature=related Now, have a listen at 7:23 of the Bible Study podcast for Earl's theme (Jimmy's theme?) - pretty amazing, huh? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I wonder what causes that? :-) Over and Under, Clyde Barn ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: living people on stamps
I went to the USPS website this morning to see how to get Andy's picture on a stamp - there's no place for it!? * Evidently Lucille, they want you to snail mail your suggestion, it's good for business! Here's the correct address: Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee, c/o Stamp Development, U.S. Postal Service, 475 L’Enfant Plaza SW, Room 3300, Washington, DC 20260-3501 There's still no guarantee the public will get to come up with whoever gets the honor of the first living person on a stamp. It may nor may not be a publicly discussed suggestion like, say, Neil Armstrong or Maya Angelou. Personally, I'm guessing we'll see another set of classic TV stamps coming down the road, and maybe Andy and Opie with their fishing poles are featured in that series along with, say, Dick Van Dyke tripping over the ottoman or Mary Tyler Moore throwing her hat in the air.
