How many references to spiders can you remember from TAG episodes? I can think of three! Eric Swolgaard Sacramento, CA ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
The Dipsy Doodle
Martha, I know what you mean about the Dipsy Doodle getting into your head. Since I am a musician, I just had to study on this and found some answers. It was written by Chick Webb and Ella Fitzgerald during the big band Era. If you look this up on youtube, you will hear it and apparently there is a dance that goes with it. There is a room full of dancers all doing the same dance. The intro is kinda long so hang in and you will hear it sung. This is the title on youtube: Chick Webb Night at Lindy Focus 2016. So put down the flower vase 'cause you don't need a partner to dance to this. Elizabeth in Ga ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Re: Why Aunt Bee left Mayberry RFD
> Does anyone know why Frances Bavier left Mayberry RFD after the second season? You'll most likely get several versions, this is just one from a Google Search I've driven past her multistory, red brick home in Siler City, and visited her grave. Siler City is peaceful, serene, and very small town sized. ~~~ Born in Manhattan, Bavier was a city girl. She went to college uptown at Columbia University. She began her showbiz career on vaudeville and Broadway stages. But something about the quiet life in the Carolinas appealed to her private personality. In 1972, not long after her final appearance on Mayberry R.F.D., Bavier left Hollywood and purchased a home in Siler City, North Carolina. Despite the fact that her TV shows were filmed in California, Bavier noted, "I fell in love with North Carolina, all the pretty roads and the trees." Siler City sits about 90 miles southeast of Mt. Airy, North Carolina, Griffith's hometown and the real-life inspiration for Mayberry. At the time, both little burgs were about the same size, with about 5,000–7,000 residents. It's easy to assume that life in Siler City was akin to living in Mayberry. Bavier lived the rest of her quiet life in the town, until she passed away in 1989. She was buried in Siler City. Chiseled on her tombstone, under the name "Aunt Bee," the inscription declares, "To live in the hearts of those left behind is not to die." ~~ Harriet, the chicken thief ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Studyin on studyin
TAGS fans, I've been reading through a book of old "Pogo" comic strips from 1957 and saw Howland Owl say he was "studying" on something. I probably wouldn't have thought anything of it if that word hadn't been discussed so much recently on the Bulletin Board. Secondly, I watched "Aunt Bee the Warden" today and, as funny as that episode is, I always have to go listen to some music afterward get that "Dipsy Doodle" song out of my head ... and I don't even know all the words!!!
