Mayberry Trivia Time!

[Allan Newsome]

Hey folks!

This week's Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast is all about
Mayberry Trivia and what better way to recharge from the summer heat than
to test our skill at Mayberry trivia.  Not just any trivia either because
these questions will give everyone a shot at getting the answer right
because they are multiple choice.

So sit back, recharge your batteries, and see how many questions you can
get right as we go.  I hope the questions bring to mind the fun had when
watching episodes of The Andy Griffith Show and they let you experience the
joy all over again.

Mayberry Man movie and The Mayberry Effect

[Allan Newsome]

For anyone that would like to watch the Mayberry Man movie and see what the
fuss is about. Watch it FREE on Amazon Prime, Tubi OR YouTube...here's the
link to it on YouTube:. https://youtu.be/a_AwfI9TPY8

Both the Mayberry Man movie and The Mayberry Effect documentary are FREE to
watch on Tubi.  Tubi is an app you can get on your phone or on your TV for
free. Just search for the movie titles and you can watch a double feature.

--Allan

PS - I received NO PAYMENT for either of these movies.  I did them for free
and make nothing from either of them (unless you buy a DVD of either from
WeaversDepartmentStore.com).   Just wanted to let you know this isn't an
attempt to make money from anyone.

Mayberry honors?

[Allan Newsome]

Whew...I wasn't aware Ben Weaver was a member here at the WBMUTBB Chapter.

As a REMINDER, we have a rule here at the WBMUTBB Digest that negative
comments are not allowed.   Folks should always try to keep their comments
positive and "act like somebody."

You know, "Spread a little sunshine every day, Spread a little sunshine
every day, Help someone along.. life's... way... Spread a little sunshine
every day!"   That's what Mayberry and the spirit of Mayberry is all about.

I, of course, am biased toward both The Mayberry Effect documentary and the
Mayberry Man movie but I believe there can NEVER be TOO MUCH Mayberry in
the world. So, judge for yourself if these projects are worthy of viewing.

Andy Griffith's daughter, Dixie, is in The Mayberry Effect and is an
Executive Producer of Mayberry Man.  Don Knotts daughter, Karen, appears in
both The Mayberry Effect and Mayberry Man.  Both stated that their fathers
would love these efforts to keep Mayberry in the minds and hearts of the
viewers.

I'm proud to be a part of each of these projects and, as I said, I have a
bias but mainly...I LOVE Mayberry and each of them made me happy to be a
part of the Mayberry family.

Sincerely,
--Allan Newsome

Hey Robbie,

Thanks for that good information!I had forgotten the name of the
airport.   It would be cool to have visited there when I was in CA.  Maybe
someday I'll be back out there and can go and see it if I'm nearby.

FYI - Folksdon't forget about the private Facebook group for WBMTUBB.
 Come over and join, if you're on Facebook.  It's been a lot of fun to see
photos and stuff that we can't show here on the Digest.   Just remember to
answer the questions for the group or I can't let you in..you'll have
to try again.  Here's the link.

WBMTUBB Group on Facebook

[Allan Newsome]

Hey everybody,

It's been a while since I mentioned it so I thought I'd say something again
to see if you might want to be a part of the WBMUTBB Facebook group.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/wbmutbb/

We're up to almost 150 members over there where WBMTUBB members can share
photos and other things that just don't work here on the e-mail digest.  I
think folks are having fun and enjoying being able to talk to one another
like you're sitting on the Taylor's front porch rather than by the "pen
pal" method we have here on the Digest,

If this is of interest to you, drop by and sign up (Don't forget to answer
the membership questions and agree to the rules or I can't let you in.)

WBMUTBB Private Group on Facebook - T-shirt - Mayberry Meet-up 2023

[Allan Newsome]

Another reminder about the "private" Facebook Group I created for WBMUTBB.
By private, it means only members of the group can see anything posted to
the group. It also means no body outside the group can see who's a member.

It's just another way for townsfolk to communicate and share the Mayberry
fun.

Christmas Card from The Newsome's 2022

[Allan Newsome]

Christmas Card from The Newsome's 2022
https://youtu.be/AImMay2NH-E

Another year has passed and even more exciting things have fallen our
way. In 2021, The Mayberry Effect documentary & Mayberry Man movie
premiered in the early fall. Allan believed this would be the end of
his career on "film." Little did we know that Mayberry Man: The Series
would be filming in 2022. What a blessing to be able to add even more
to the Mayberry lore through the series (expected to come out late
2023).

At some point in the production of the series, the realization hit
Allan that he would actually be sharing the screen with both Karen
Knotts & Ronnie Schell. It has been an honor to be on screen with
fellow cast members but the realization of being there with Mayberry
royalty is even more exciting as a fan of The Andy Griffith Show.

Jan and I were blessed to join fans on the Mayberry Cruise 2022, after
two years of covid related cancelling. During the cruise, we were able
to spend time with Clint & Kat Howard who are both as wonderful as you
would expect. Mayberry events picked back up and fans were eager to
leave the pandemic behind them and have some clean Mayberry fun.

This year also marked the 10th Annual Mayberry Meet-up in Mt. Airy,
NC. The Meet-up was started because of Allan going to Mt. Airy to
interview Betty "Thelma Lou" Lynn for his podcast and saying, "If
anyone's in town, we can meet-up" never expecting anyone to show.
About thirty people showed up that first time and then folks started
asking, "When are we doing it next year?" Ten years later, we're still
going strong with about 200 attending during the Meet-up weekend and
the Two Chairs No Waiting podcast reaching the 14 year mark and 712+
episodes.

WeaversDepartmentStore.com is now Jan's only job having resigned her
14 year long employment as an office manager at a veterinarian. Jan is
staying fairly busy keeping things stocked and shipping orders. Thank
you for that! In 2023, Jan and Allan will be picking up the duties of
writing/editing the Weaver's Newsletter from long time editor Jim
Clark. We'll do our best to continue to give the fans of The Andy
Griffith Show the high quality content they've come to expect. Please
subscribe to the FREE newsletter. Rest assured that your contact
information will not be shared.

All-in-all, God has certainly blessed us. Thank you for your
friendship and support. Merry Christmas!

WBMUTBB Facebook Group up to 93 folks

[Allan Newsome]

Hey Folks,

I don't like mentioning this over and over again but I'm afraid that
there are several of the ~1,000 members here on the Digest that
haven't seen the news about the expansion of our chapter to include a
Facebook Group.

If you're interested, you can join us over there by going to:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/wbmutbb

DON'T forget to agree to the "Rules" because if you don't, you'll get
a note from the "admins" (me) saying:
"You must agree to the rules to be added to the group.  Go back and
try again.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/wbmutbb "

If you get that note from me, just go back and re-apply but don't
forget to agree to the "Rules" and I'll allow you in the group.

FYI, on the Group page you can post images and files (that we can't do
here on the WBMUTBB Digest).  I've uploaded several images that you
might like to see in an "album" on the group page.  I've been going
through the WBMUTBB archives to see what things I can share.

The WBMUTBB Digest is not going away.  The new Facebook group just
gives us another way to communicate when/if the email gives us
problems (which seems to happen more and more).

Y'all don't forget to post here on the Digest, too.  I haven't seen
anyone post anything since Friday 9 Dec so I figured ...why not post
another note. :)

WBMUTBB Chapter

[Allan Newsome]

Hey Folks,

We have about 68 of us over on https://www.facebook.com/groups/wbmutbb now.
That's in two days.   I'm sure that some of you haven't even read the
Digest to notice that we've expanded to have a Facebook Group.  If you're
interested, head over to https://www.facebook.com/groups/wbmutbb and Join.
DON'T forget to agree to the "Rules" because if you don't, you'll get a
note from the "admins" (me) saying:

"You must agree to the rules to be added to the group.  Go back and try
again.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/wbmutbb "

FYI, on that Group you can post images and other type files that we can't
do here on the WBMUTBB Digest.  I've uploaded several images that you might
like to see plus I uploaded a file containing the "State of the Board''
address from 2013.  I'm going through the WBMUTBB archives to see what
other things I can share that y'all might enjoy seeing.

DON'T WORRYThe WBMUTBB Digest is not going away.  The new Facebook
group just gives us another way to communicate when/if the email gives us
problems (which seems to happen more and more).

See y'all online.

[Allan Newsome]

I wanted to make sure that y'all saw the note that appeared in yesterday's
Digest so I'm repeating some of it below.

To EXPAND our online chapter, I have created a Facebook group called,
"WBMUTBB Chapter."  It's a private group on Facebook and I'd like to invite
you there if you'd like to come.  I'm not closing down the email Digest but
I wanted to provide a different way for you to stay in touch with one
another and share more Mayberry fun.

IF you're interested, go to:

and join.

You'll have to agree to the "Rules" which are the same "rules" we've lived
by here on the email WBMUTBB Digest for 31 years so hopefully nobody will
have an issue with them.

If you don't agree with the "Rules" when you request to join the group,
you'll be declined and told, "You must agree to the rules to be added to
the group. Go back and try again. "   Just reapply and remember to agree to
the rules and you'll be good to go.

I hope to see you there.

New WBMUTBB Facebook Group

[Allan Newsome]

Hey WBMUTBB!

I've been a stranger here in town for a long timereading all the
comments but never joining in the conversationso some of you may not
even know me.

I'm Allan Newsome and here's a bit of a history.

HISTORY REPORT

Back in April of 1990, a fellow named Bob Bravetti was on the Prodigy
computer network. He started what was called a "topic" on the Prodigy
bulletin board system with a subject header of "The Andy Griffith Show".
After a few replies and a little bit of chatter, the topic died off.

In the early fall of 1990, Allan Newsome signed up for the Prodigy network
and started a "topic" on the same bulletin board system Bob had originally
started his topic. The "topic" was called "Andy Griffith Show." After that
first message Allan was joined (over time) by more than 57 other fans of
The Andy Griffith Show (TAGS), including Bob who was the very first person
to reply to Allan's note, who enjoyed visiting online and talking about
Mayberry.

On the first anniversary of the posting of the "Andy Griffith Show" topic
by Allan, those original 57 or so Mayberry fans decided to make the group
of TAGS fans a "real" chapter of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club
(TAGSRWC). People sent in their suggestions for a chapter name and "Who's
Been Messin' Up the Bulletin Board?" (WBMUTBB) was born. A note requesting
the chapter name was sent to TAGSRWC HQ on November 4, 1991 and official
verification of our chapter's approval arrived by mail on November 29, 1991
in the form of our Chapter Charter from TAGSRWC Headquarters in Nashville

 1991-1999

For another two and a half years things continued to grow. Friends were
made online that sprouted into "real world" friendships. Members shared
photos of one another by postal mail (we couldn't really do it online back
then) which allowed faces to be associated with those that until then had
only been names on a computer monitor. Times were wonderful.

Allan left Prodigy in early 1993 and for about 6 months he was out of touch
with all the Prodigy/online Mayberry friends. Then he saw in THE BULLET,
The official newsletter of TAGSRWC at that time, a note from Kevin Johnson
and Jack Fellenzer requesting that folks email them to talk about TAGS.
Allan emailed them right away because he missed the fun and fellowship he
had with fellow TAGS fans and the WBMUTBB Chapter folks. That note in THE
BULLET resulted in the WBMUTBB Chapter being expanded from just being on
Prodigy to being on the whole Internet. By August 1, 1994 (the oldest "New
Member Update" still accessible) the new Internet version of WBMUTBB had 25
members.

The "New Member Update" was emailed out manually on a regular basis to all
members of WBMUTBB so everyone could stay in touch. Back in those days,
there was no good way to create an automated email list so manually
emailing every member was the only way to stay in contact.

Kevin Johnson kept up with the member list for about 6 months then,
beginning with the "New Member Update" of December 21, 1994, the
responsibility was given over to Allan. We had 50 members on that update.
By the end of 1998 we had 608 members which grew to 1,356 by December 31,
1999.

 10TH ANNIVERSARY - NOVEMBER 2001 - PRESENT

Chapter membership grew to a high of over 1,740 members in November 2001
(our 10th Anniversary year).

Since 2001 we have fallen in number, but not in spirit. We have continued
to have issues with people not getting the Digest in their Inbox and I've
tried hard to fix that problem. It's never ending and I don't know if I can
do any better than I currently do.

To EXPAND our online chapter, I have created a Facebook group called,
"WBMUTBB Chapter."  It's a private group on Facebook and I'd like to invite
you there if you'd like to come.  I'm not closing down the email Digest but
I wanted to provide a different way for you to stay in touch with one
another and share more Mayberry fun.

IF you're interested, go to:

we've lived by here on the email WBMUTBB Digest for 31 years so hopefully
nobody with have an issue with them.

I hope to see you there.

Subject: Mayberry Museum

Mayberry Friends,

In our great state of Tennessee, the city of Granville, “Tennessee’s
Mayberry Town” will celebrate the Grand Opening of their Mayberry and
I Love Lucy Museum on June 13th.  Rodney and Beverly Dillard and Keith
Thibodeaux (Little Ricky and Johnny Paul) will be on hand for the
celebration.

I am asking if any of you collectors would be willing to make a
donation or a loan to the museum, it would be greatly appreciated.
They have a lot of neat and cool stuff already, but they could use
some smaller items to round out their collection.  They currently have
on loan from a generous couple an extensive exhibit regarding the I
Love Lucy show, so Mayberry items are mainly what they need.

I am not officially connected with the project, but I am helping them
out at this time.

 If you have anything that you would like to donate or simply let them
display on loan, please contact me and I will arrange the transfer.

 By the way, here is the website.

https://www.granvilletn.com/

 I suppose I should give contact information.

 You can email me at

Mayberry Man movie

[Allan Newsome]

Mayberry Man movie Kickstarter has begun and I NEED your help!

I will be in the movie, if it gets made. That's right, me. In the Mayberry
Man movie I will be playing a character named "Allan", a Floyd the Barber
tribute artist, so I think I can pull off the role but we need YOUR help to
get the movie funded so you can see how great my acting skills areor
how bad. :)

It's time to donate to the cause, if you plan to, because getting off to a
fast start will help a LOT by triggering Kickstarter's algorithm to help
spread the word. It doesn't matter the donation amount ($1, $5, $20, etc).
They're trying to get a large number of folks to donate right off the bat
so your contribution will help no matter how small.

If you're interested, please click below and help make the movie happen.
You can also get rewards for yourself based on your donation level so I
hope you'll help out.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1607422854/feature-film-mayberry-man?ref=b8brle


I know this sounds like a advertisement but I'm just hoping they can raise
enough to make the movie because we can NEVER have too much Mayberry in
this world.

Thanks for listening...err...reading.

WBMUTBB Chapter Photo at Mayberry Days

[Allan Newsome]

Hey Folks

Mayberry Days is FAST approaching and hopefully at least some of you
will be attending.  It has been a custom for about 25 years that all
the members of WBMUTBB Chapter, The Taylors Front Porch, and other
portions of the TAGSRWC online communities gather for a few minutes to
meet one another in person and to have a group photo.

When: ~5:15 Friday September 27, 2019
Where: Blackmon Amphitheatre (Just after the World Championship of TAGS Trivia)

We'll gather to the right of the stage on the hill for 5 to 10 minutes
to go around and introduce ourselves so we'll be able to put a face
with the e-mail address/nickname that folks use here online.

Back in the beginning, this was the only way we could "see" one
another because the internet was so young.  There was no Facebook,
Instagram, or any other way to share photos and put faces to names.
Once, we even all sent photos of ourselves by MAIL to a single person
who compiled the photos, made color copies, and then mailed (using the
post office) the photo copies to all who had mailed in photo.
Whewtimes have changed.

I look forward to seeing all of you who are able to be there and
getting to put faces to names.  So, come to the Trivia Championship
and stick around for a few minutes to meet one another.

Mayberry Man Movie Press Release

[Allan Newsome]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Gregory Schell (310) 614-0272 or Stark Howell (661) 877-2819

CHILDREN OF “THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW” CAST DEVELOPING
NEW FEATURE-LENGTH COMEDY ABOUT MODERN-DAY MAYBERRY

LOS ANGELES, CA (August 16, 2019)—The Andy Griffith Show debuted on
television nearly 60 years ago and has aired in syndication virtually
every day since, amassing a devoted fanbase seeking high-quality,
wholesome entertainment that harkens back to a simpler time.

Now, the children of the actors who appeared in the original series
are developing a feature-length comedy that will capture the spirit of
Mayberry and serve it up to the passionate Mayberry fan community.
It’s called Mayberry Man.

In Mayberry Man, an arrogant movie star is busted for speeding in a
small Southern town and is sentenced by a local judge to attend
Mayberry Days, a week-long festival celebrating The Andy Griffith
Show. Immersed in this modern-day Mayberry, he discovers the true
meaning of friendship and family.

Writer-Director Stark Howell, an independent filmmaker and Hollywood
storyboard artist, is the son of Hoke Howell, a character actor known
for portraying hillbilly Dud Wash on the original series. The younger
Howell was inspired to make the movie after attending his first
Mayberry Days festival in Mount Airy, North Carolina, Andy Griffith’s
hometown.

“I’ve always been a fan of the show, but I was shocked to discover the
spirit of Mayberry still exists today within the tight-knit Mayberry
fan community,” says Howell. “It’s the perfect setting to tell a
modern-day, family-friendly story that expresses the virtues of the
fictitious town of Mayberry that we all fell in love with so many
years ago.”

What makes this project unique is that it will showcase original cast
members of The Andy Griffith Show alongside real-life fans including
tribute artists who dress up as characters from the show. Much of the
film takes place in Mount Airy during the annual Mayberry Days
festival and is scheduled to be shot there in September 2020.

Original Andy Griffith Show cast members slated for the film include
Clint Howard (Ron Howard’s younger brother who played PB
Leon), Ronnie Schell (two episodes, also Duke Slater in Gomer Pyle,
USMC), and Keith Thibodeaux (13 episodes, also played Little Ricky on
I Love Lucy).

“Hollywood shouldn’t make this movie,” proclaims Howard in support of
the independent filmmaking approach. Howard, who has appeared in every
type of production from low-budget to Hollywood blockbuster (Apollo
13, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Austin Powers), says “This movie
needs to be made by Mayberry citizens in Mayberry,” referring to Mount
Airy.

Additional family members involved in the project are producers Cort
Howell (Hoke’s son) and Gregory Schell (Ronnie’s son). Also set to
appear in the film is George Lindsey, Jr., son of George Lindsey who
played Goober on the series.

For more information, visit www.mayberryman.com or contact
Gregory Schell at (310) 614-0272 or gregorysch...@gmail.com.
Stark Howell at (661) 877-2818 or howst...@ca.rr.com.

Mayberry Man Movie!!

[Allan Newsome]

Greetings Mayberry Fan!

I hope the fact that the Digest is FINALLY making its way to you has
lifted your Mayberry spirit and that what you're about to receive will
lift your spirits even higher.

As you may be aware already, there is an exciting movie project that
is coming to Mount Airy, North Carolina. The movie is entitled,
Mayberry Man, and I'll send a separate email with the press release.
The Mayberry Man movie will be shot mostly on location in Mount Airy,
North Carolina during the 2020 Mayberry Days Festival.

The producers of Mayberry Man are hoping that you will make an
appearance in the movie! You have been selected as an outstanding
member of the WBMUTBB & Mayberry community to be part of the movie and
I encourage you to speak with Stark Howell, Cort Howell or Gregory
Schell during this year's Mayberry Days festival or email them at the
address below if this piques your interest.

You can learn more about the movie at http://www.mayberryman.com and
send correspondence directly to the production team at

The producers look forward to hearing from you and seeing you on the
silver screen of Mayberry Man!

[Allan Newsome]

Hey Folks,

Looks like at least today the Digest did go out.   I'm still working
with the hosting folks to make sure things are working.  I think there
may still be issues.

I see three e-mails from you guys after the Digest went out on 5 Sep
2019 but I don't see them everywhere.They're in the archive:

Please don't quote the entire WBMUTBB Digest when responding

[Allan Newsome]

Many of you have your email client set to automatically quote the ENTIRE
Digest (or any other e-mail) to which you were "Replying" and as a result
every issue of the Digest contains copies of previous Digests.

Please turn off the automatic quoting feature of your email tool so this
does not occur in the future.  Or, make sure you delete the "quoted"
portion of the message.

Please quoting more than is necessary to help folks understand the comment
your are making.

Hey Mayberry

[Allan Newsome]

I'm writing this to try and check and see if I can get the WBMUTBB Digest
to actually go out to everyone.  It seems a Chinese company was using the
wbmutbb.com domain to sent out spam and we got blacklisted because of that.

The hosting company has cleared that problem and "hopefully" you'll get
this e-mail, and future e-mails, from the Digest.

Fingers crossed!

Because of this, TAGSRWC is going to move our delivery to a new service

Re: Mayberry, GA

Hey Scooter,

That's great!  I looked it up on Google.
Mayberry Subdivision in Warner Robins GA 31088

I was a little disappointed that the houses don't look like "Mayberry"
houses...just a nice subdivision BUTit's still nice.

I wonder how many other places around the country are called
"Mayberry" and have TAGS references like this one does?

I found Mayberry Subdivisions in AL, TX and VA!

Happy Thanksgiving!

[Allan Newsome]

Since it is Thanksgiving, I started to think about things I’m thankful
for. I guess it goes without saying that I’m thankful for The Andy
Griffith Show and it’s been four years since I’ve said that in an
episode of the Two Chairs No Waiting podcast. It was all the way back
in TCNW #261 when I talked about what I thankful for so far as
Mayberry goes. I figure it’s time to say it again.

I’m thankful that Andy created the town of Mayberry for us to visit
anytime I’d like but there are many things that Mayberry has given me
and I want to make sure everyone knows about at least some of what
Mayberry has given me in my life.

I recorded it all on  TCNW #453 called "Thank You for Mayberry."

You're invited to go give it a listen, or a watch, at the link below.

Thank you to Mayberry

[Allan Newsome]

Hey folks,

I want to say how thankful I am to all of you.  We have around 1300 folks
that get this WBMUTBB Digest everyday and many have been subscribe for
YEARS.

My goal, as the admin, has always been to help Mayberry fans connect and
feel a part a the bigger Mayberry community. Over the years, we have seen
services and website come to help fans connect (Facebook,
iMayberryCommunity, etc) but I know there is still a place for the Digest
in the Mayberry world.

I do encourage everyone to find those other avenues to connect with fellow
fans as an addition to the fellowship we share on the Digest.  You can
actually see PHOTOS of one another and communicate in a more instant way
than you can here on the Digest which only helps to grow those friendships
more quickly.

I don't write too often here, nor anywhere else actually, but I *do* read
every WBMUTBB Digest.  This group has meant so much to so many for so long
and for that I am thankful.

To keep the conversation going, send in a "daily quote" or a bit of
trivia.  Tell us about how your day is made just a bit better by sitting
down to an episode of Andy when you get home from the stressful day.

We're all fans and we ALL have similar tells to be told.  It's that
connection that makes us part of the greater Mayberry community.

I'll be gone on the Cruise to Mayberry 12 until about 30 October but know
that in spirit I'll be here. I can't check e-mail on the cruise but I can
post things on Facebook.  Follow me is you have a mind to:

   https://facebook.com/anewsome
   https://www.facebook.com/TwoChairs/

or join the Two Chairs No Waiting podcast Group on Facebook so you can talk
to one another:
   https://www.facebook.com/groups/twochairs

Mainly, keep that Mayberry spirit alive and enjoy all that The Andy
Griffith Show has to offer.

Sincerely,

Mayberry Days Report 2017

[Allan Newsome]

 Hey Mayberry,

Wow!   What a great weekend of fun at Mayberry Days 2017.

Every year I think things can't be more fun than the previous year but
each year I'm proved wrong.  I think part of that is because each year
I get to see Mayberry friends during the Mayberry Days event and
rekindle those relationships.  Sure, I get to see many of them on
Facebook and here on the Digest throughout the year but Mayberry Days
gives the chance to have that personal, face-to-face, connection.

I think friends, family, and love are what Mayberry is all about. Andy
often said the show was based on love and I believe that is what
continues to fuel the Mayberry spirit and keep Mayberry Days (and
other events) alive.

SO MUCH happened through the weekend and I'd love to hear your
personal stories.  I attempted to give a report during this weeks Two
Chairs No Waiting podcast episode #445.  I feel like I failed to find
the words to share the fun and friendship shared by those who attended
but I tried my best. Hopefully you'll have a chance to check it out.
The video version has images from the even so maybe you'd like the
video version more than the audio.

  http://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com

Thanks for all that YOU do in keeping Mayberry alive.  It's all of us,
the fans, that keep the spirit moving forward.

funny, sweet and sentimental, some are such good morality "plays" that
they NEED to be watched by many people who probably didn't see them
growing up.  Never miss it if it can be helped...was so sad when Don

almost did me in for weeks afterward. One of my favorite episodes is

me laugh so hard. In 2015 I w

Getting Ready for Mayberry Days 2017

I did the podcast this week about "Getting Ready for Mayberry Days
2017."  If your coming to Mayberry Days for the first time, this might
be something you want to listen to in order to have an idea of things
to do and see at Mayberry Days.   If you can't make it, it's a fun way
to trail along with those who are able to attend.

TCNW 441: How Floyd Got His Start

[Allan Newsome]

http://imayberry.com/podcasts/2017/08/tcnw-441-how-floyd-got-his-start/

I’m often asked how I got started as a “Floyd the barber” tribute. In this
episode of Two Chairs No Waiting you’ll hear the story of how it all began.
From The Mayberry Deputy, David Browning, asking me to come to talk to
folks using a Floyd voice to the very first time I ever tried to do Floyd
in public, you’ll get the whole story.

*Bonus:* This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy
Turner featuring Barbara Eden.

I thought the WBMUTBB Chapter folks might enjoy this one.  The VIDEO

TCNW 433 : Neal Brower Interviews Harvey Bullock 2002 Part 2

[Allan Newsome]

http://imayberry.com/podcasts/2017/07/tcnw-433-neal-brower-interviews-harvey-bullock-2002-part-2/

This is our second episode with Neal Brower interviewing writer Harvey
Bullock at Mayberry Days in 2002. Harvey Bullock (June 4, 1921 – April
23, 2006) wrote 31 episodes of The Andy Griffith Show, 21 episodes of
Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. and co-wrote the TV movie Return to Mayberry with
Everett Greenbaum. So much of what we, as fans, know of the town of
Mayberry was created by the mind of this amazing man.

The quality of the audio isn’t perfect but this content is something
you will not find elsewhere. If you watch the video verison of the
show, you can see that Harvey didn’t seem to want to hold the mic up
to his face so he’s a little hard to hear. From time to time there are
sound artifacts that I’ve cleaned up as best I could so they wouldn’t
be distracting.

In this episode Harvey discusses writers meetings, Elvis, writing
dialog for Opie, his writing partner Ray Allen, Mr. McBeevee, scripts
and tidbits of Mayberry history.

You will not want to miss any of this series.

Bonus:  This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by
Randy Turner featuring Jamie Farr.

The Taylors' Front Porch

[Allan Newsome]

Wow...

The 16th Anniversary of the current version of The Taylor's Front
Porch website is coming up!

For those that don't know, The Front Porch was originally created by a
fellow named Frank and he eventually let it die off. After that, I
recreated the look and feel on the site so all the folks involved
there would have a home.  That recreation was almost 16 years ago.
Whew...I'm getting old. :)

The site is located here:
http://www.tagsrwc.com/chitchat/

The Front Porch has archives going all the way back to the beginning
which is about 107,395 messages since Msg #1 on May 02, 2001 at
14:45:10.

The Anniversary is next Tuesday"It's BIG!"  I wonder how many of
the "old" porchsters we could get to drop by and say "hey?"

TCNW 423: Return to Mayberry Update

[Allan Newsome]

Hey folks,

This is an episode of the Two Chairs No Waiting podcast I don't think
you'll want to miss. --Allan

https://youtu.be/myRRKmIfLd8

In the last episode of the podcast we were reminded about the "Return
to Mayberry" television movie by Randy Turner's This Week in Mayberry
History report so I thought it was fate when I ran across a forgotten
Mayberry historical gem.

I was looking through the files on my computer trying to find a
Mayberry related image and came across a folder named Everett.  In
that folder was a file named "ending."  Not a descriptive name but it
made me want to open it to see what was in there.  Turns out that it
was a letter from The Andy Griffith Show writer Harvey Bullock from
1999 addressing a question about the "Return to Mayberry" and the
possible alternate ending that was written.

This is BIG and I'm just sorry it's been filed away in a digital
folder for all these years but at least we get to hear the answer now.

Bonus:  This week's installment of This Week in Mayberry History by
Randy Turner featuring Elinor Donahue.

Mayberry Meet-up 2016 in Mt. Airy, NC 8-9 July 2016 (Schedule)

[Allan Newsome]

Hey Mayberry folks!

I'm putting together the "schedule" of things to do during the Meet-up 
weekend but PLEASE realize that nothing is mandatory and nobody will 
have hurt feelings if you choose to do things other than those 
suggested. Join in if it fits your schedule.


Friends...all the below are options/suggestions for things to do in Mt. 
Airy.


There's nothing "BIG" planned other than on Saturday the 9th at 2pm 
we'll have the chance to attend "Professor Brower's Lecture Series" at 
The Andy Griffith Museum. Professor Neal Brower will be covering The 
Andy Griffith Show episode "Andy's Rich Girlfriend." For any that don't 
know, Neal Brower is the author of Mayberry 101 and taught "The Andy 
Griffith Show: An In-depth Study" at Community Colleges throughout North 
Carolina for many years. There's no charge for the class if you've paid 
the $6 fee for touring the museum.  For more info, visit the website at 
http://www.andygriffithmuseum.org/ or call (336) 786-1604.


The main things I want to do is get together over at the Mayberry Motor 
Inn gazebo on Friday and Saturday evenings (I've already checked in with 
Alma about doing this again this year) for some good visiting timeon 
Saturday we'll order SubWay platters (everyone can donate to the cause) 
.and watching episodes of The Andy Griffith Show together.


IMPORTANT:
I've been trying to find a way to communicate better while at the 
meet-up so I've created a "Remind" class for the Mayberry Meet-up. 
Remind is normally used for teachers to communicate with their classes 
but it will work great for this.  If you can get TEXT messages on your 
phone, this will allow me to text all of you at one time.  No personal 
information will be collected and you will ONLY get text messages from 
me related to the Mayberry Meetup.


To receive messages via text about the Mayberry Meetup 2016,

Send a text message to this number: 81010
with the following as the message:  @maymu
   (include the "@" symbol)


Jan and I are looking forward to seeing you all in Mayberry!

TCNW 381: Mayberry's Alive and Well
https://youtu.be/V5kA5Ylgmjw

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at
http://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com

Over the years we have talked about what makes The Andy Griffith Show
special and about how can we get others to watch these old black &
white episodes.  What makes The Andy Griffith Show special to us and
what might make it special even to those who were born *years* after
TAGS went off the air in its original run?

Is it Barney, Floyd, Otis, Goober, Gomer, Aunt Bee, Opie, or one of
many wonderful characters that appeared in Mayberry that make it so
special?  Was it Andy Taylor?  Was it the town of Mayberry itself?

Was it, perhaps, all the above?  I think it may be that we all had a
little bit of "Mayberry" in our lives when we were growing up. We may
have known an "Aunt Bee" or an "Ernest T. Bass" at some point in our
life.  Maybe you've worked with "Goober," "Gomer," or "Floyd."  Is it
because Mayberry reminds us a what "normal" might be?

You tell me what it is that keeps Mayberry alive and well in our
hearts and minds.

Two Chairs No Waiting 380: Barney & the Squad Car
http://imayberry.com/podcasts/2016/06/two-chairs-no-waiting-380-barney-the-squad-car/

I’m always looking for things to tell you related to The Andy Griffith
Show and as part of that I was watching TAGS with my lovely wife Jan
just today and spotting something that I’d never seen before.  It was
on the episode “Andy the Matchmaker” and has to do with the Mayberry
squad car being magic.  As I looked more, I saw that not only was
there some witchery afoot but the squad car was having some work done
on it.

If you watch the video version, you’ll see what I’m talking about but
if you only listen…don’t feel left out…I’ll have screen shots posted
in the links section for you to be able to see what I found.

TCNW 373: Touches of Mayberry & Mayberry Meet-Up 2016!!

[Allan Newsome]

Two Chairs No Waiting 373: Touches of Mayberry
http://imayberry.com/podcasts/2016/04/two-chairs-no-waiting-373-touches-of-mayberry/

I’m always watching the web for information on The Andy Griffith Show and I
ran across this great story from the The Daily Journal from the Kankakee
Valley, IL.I wrote to them for permission to use their article in the
podcast and they were nice enough to let me use it.

The story is called “Andy Griffith’s hometown abounds with touches of
Mayberry.” It gives a fun look into the town of Mt. Airy, NC and some
insight into Andy Griffith’s life.

It’s also a good lead in to the next Mayberry Meet-up to be held 8-9 July
2016 in Mt. Airy!  I hope you’ll make plans to be with us and enjoy so
great Mayberry related fun.  It’s a relaxing weekend of fellowship, fun,
and Mayberry experiences like attending Neal Brower’s lecture on the
“Andy’s Rich Girlfriend” episode of TAGS, July 9th at 2 p.m., in the Andy
Griffith Museum Theatre in Mount Airy, N.C.   We’ll also be watching TAGS
episodes at the gazebo at the Mayberry Motor Inn on both evenings.  Make
you’re reservations at the Motor Inn now and join us for the fun.

The Rules, WBMUTBB Style

[Allan Newsome]

I feel like with the number of new members we've gotten lately that it's
time to restate "The Rules" for everybody. You old-timers might want to
read through this just to refresh your memories and I think it's good for
all of us to try and remember these tried and true rules. Allan

From: anews...@aol.com

Hey Everybody,

Boy, things have really been growing here in out little corner of
Mayberry!!  Because of that I think it's time to remind everyone what
WBMUTBB is all about:

We all know what Mayberry is about but do we realize why it is that we all
visit there everyday?  I know that the characters are great but more than
that, they're friends.  We "know" these people and it's just a joy to visit
them every chance we get to watch them as they work their way through
getting locked in a cell because the door "clangs shut" or any of the other
wonderful situations they face.  Things always work out in a wonderful way
leaving a smile on our faces.

Mayberry is an escape from the day-to-day trials we all face.  A short trip
to a place where every body cares about one another and where we can
forget, for a while, the fact that "real life" isn't as much like that as
we'd like.

I started WBMUTBB back in 1990, along with several other good folks, and
since then I've tried to make it as much like a "corner of Mayberry" as
possible.  I wanted this place to be somewhere folks could go and forget
about the outside world and relax by reading about Andy, Barney, Opie, Aunt
Bee, and the rest of our Mayberry family.

To try and make that happen I've required everyone who wanted to join to
tell us a little about themselves so we could get to know them just a
little bit.   After all, in Mayberry  everyone knew everybody else and how
can we have a community without having at least some idea about our
neighbors?

I've also had a couple of rules here and I try to enforce them.

Of course Rule #1 is...you guessed it...Obey all rules.

Rule #2 is this: Talk about the things you like about Mayberry..not things
you don't like.

I know some folks forget this second rule sometimes and they don't really
understand WHY I think Rule #2 is important so let me just give you an
example.  Let's say I were to say, "Boy, I really hate Barney.  I mean,
look how stupid he is and poor Andy has to put up with him."If I said
that (and meant it) what are the first things that happen to you?

First you'd feel like, "Man, that guys a jerk!"  Then you'd get aggravated
at this guy talking about your Favorite character (and friend), Barney
Fife.  Even if Barney's not your very favorite character, you'd likely be
upset about this guy talking about your neighbor.

I've never heard anyone say anything like that about Barn but I have about
other characters and folks forget that just because they don't like a
particular character doesn't mean that character isn't someone elses
favorite.  You see, if I talk about your favorite character saying negative
things about 'em it takes your fun away.

I think that's enough about Rule #2 and I hope you all understand the
rule.  It's not to take away from your fun but to encourage you all to tell
us about what's fun to you and share your good feelings with others.

We have something special here.  It's something you don't find often on the
internet.  No "flames", no "fighting", no "foul language."  We have a place
that children and adults can come and enjoy themselves.

Mayberry is a wonderful place and I'm just glad to be a part of this little
corner of it.

Your Friend and neighbor,

Allan Newsome

Hey folks,

Mayberry Meets Matlock

[Allan Newsome]

Gary and Dan were talking about Matlock and Mayberry.   I did a podcast
episode about two years ago about some of connections between the two.

Mayberry fan, Brian Saul, was kind enough to help me get some clips from
Matlock that fans of The Andy Griffith Show are sure to love.

First up, did you know that Ben Matlock once knew a fellow that
mispronounced kleptomaniacs by saying "kleptominerac?"  That's right!  On
the Matlock episode  "The Good Boy" that's exactly what we hear.

Next, I'm sure you remember when Barney was showing Andy all he knew about
Judo in TAGS episode "Barney's Uniform." Well, Don Knotts' character Les
Calhoun demonstrated his karate skills to Ben Matlock in the episode "The
Fighter."

Oh...and there's so much more.  Sit back and enjoy this trip as Mayberry
meets Matlock.

Neal Brower Interviews Bruce Bilson 2011 (Part 2)

[Allan Newsome]

Hey Folks,

We started this series last week and I'm proud to continue this four
part series with Neal Brower interviewing Bruce Bilson, assistant
director of "The Andy Griffith Show" from 1960-63.  Mr. Bilson has
knowledge about TAGS and how it was made that I'm betting you have
never heard.  Mr. Bilson was there at the creation of the filming of
opening credits and for those first several years developing the
"feel" of Mayberry.

I recommend watching the video version of this podcast because the
clips shown as part of what Mr. Bilson tells us adds a lot to the
experience.

This episode we hear about the laugh track, Andy & Don's chemistry,
Ron Howard & Andy's relationship,  Bob Sweeney (director), renewal of
the series, General Foods, Andy's memorial bronze moccasin, and
directing extras.

Here's the link to the video version:
https://youtu.be/5nLG1F28WjE

Re: Hawthorne Mayberry Village

[Allan Newsome]

Hawthorn made 2 different Mayberry Christmas Village sets.

The first one was in the mid to late1990's and it was made out of
ceramic Mayberry buildings and accessories (including painted pewter
figurines).

Neat video of the villages by Ken Anderson -  http://youtu.be/7d5vDudE5no

The 1990's set included (I think I have most things but may have
missed something):

Mayberry Courthouse
Floyd's Barbershop
Wally's Filling Station
The Taylor Home
Community Church
The BlueBird Diner
Mayberry Hotel
Mayberry Post Office
Mayberry School
Mrs. Mendlebright's Boarding House

Figurines
Andy and Barney"
Aunt Bee and Opie
Squad Car and Pumps

The other set was not made of ceramic

I think it was called the Andy Griffith Mayberry Christmas Village.
Each building lights up and is covered in snow and Christmas
decorations!

Off the top of my headthis is what came with the most recent set:

The Courthouse
Floyd's Barbershop & TV Repair combined into 1 building
All Souls Church
The Taylor Home
The BlueBird Diner
Weaver's Department Store
The Mayberry Grand Theatre
Wally's Service Station

FIGURINES  (These come with the buildings)

Andy
Barney
Opie
Aunt Bee
Gomer

I don't know how the show will be but they've done a Christmas show

MayberryI'll enjoy it.

Jan and I have reservations of the Feb 5th show at 7:30pm. I don't
know how large their seating area is but I suspect that it's fairly

Happy New Year (eve) to WBMUTBB!

[Allan Newsome]

Hey Folks,

We've had a fun year in 2015!

We had The Andy Griffith Show air on PRIME TIME television for the
first time since 1969 and it was BIG!

You folks are the best!  We've had our community shrink a bit over the
last year or two but we still have over 1200 folks getting a copy of
the WBMUTBB Digest each day.  That's a little Mayberry folks each one
of us in our inbox around lunch time everyday and I for one still look
forward to it arriving, even after 20+ years.

I want to invite you to drop by over at iMayberry Community for even
more online Mayberry fun.  There are fans there visiting each day and
talking about Mayberry so if you need more fun in  your life, that's a
good place to start.  http://iMayberryCommunity.com

Speaking of The Andy Griffith Show Christmas Special, Two Chairs No
Waiting (my podcast) hosted a "Mayberry in COLOR Special Episode"
starting about 15 minutes after the TAGS special.

Folks joined us to talk about what it was like watching the colorized
episodes of The Andy Griffith Show airing at 8PM (ET) on Christmas Day
2015. It was BIG!

Since this was a special episode of Two Chairs No Waiting, I'm posted
the "entire" live version on YouTube for folks just in case they want
to see it all. http://youtu.be/i3EPYPHuWDc


I hope you are all still enjoying the Digest and I would love to hear
your thoughts about what might make things more fun for us.  You can
email me directly (fl...@imayberry.com) or comment here on the Digest.
Please, no complaining here on the digest (do that by direct e-mail to
me).keep things as positive as possible here and give ideas of
what might make things even better.


I'm looking forward to what 2016 brings us in Mayberry.

WBMUTBB Problems....We're working on them

[Allan Newsome]

Hey Folks,

As you saw in WBMUTBB Digest Vol 16 Issue 273 (last issue), Brent Seguine
sent in a note about the JIM NABORS HOUR being on cable which he sent on
the 28th of Oct(2 days before you got the note).

That wasn't Brent's fault.  The software that's running the WBMUTBB Digest
is having some problems and it is being worked on by those who know how but
it is causing a few issues that I don't have control over.

Please forgive me for any messages  you may have sent that haven't been
making it throughthings still aren't fixed but they seem *better* than
they were earlier this week.

The boys down at the lab will continue to work on the problem until we can
completely clear things up.

Two Chairs No Waiting 343: Ronnie Schell - Mayberry Squad Car Rendezvous 1996

[Allan Newsome]

Video Version:  https://youtu.be/j0BJ0yIo4YQ

Two Chairs No Waiting 343: Ronnie Schell - Mayberry Squad Car Rendezvous
1996

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at
http://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com

Ronnie Schell played the character Duke Slater on Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. but
he was also on The Andy Griffith Show twice.  The first time he played
director Jim Martin in the episode The Foster Lady then about two years
later he played "Bernie the furrier" in Emmett's Anniversary.  Ronnie is a
true friend to Mayberry fans everywhere and has been at many Mayberry
events to share the love with the fans.

This interview took place at the 1996 Mayberry Squad Car Rendezvous in
Bradford, OH and was broadcast live by “Good Morning Mayberry” on
Cincinnati’s WMOH 1450AM radio. The show was on every Saturday morning from
10am to noon back in the 1990’s.  Host Mark “Golden” Richards and Dennis
Hasty do an amazing job.

Enjoy!

Briscoe's Omens of the Day

[Allan Newsome]

Briscoe's Omens of the Day

If you sweep after the sun goes down, you will never be rich.

It's bad luck to watch a friend leaving if you continue watching until 
the person is out of sight.


If a black cat crosses your path, it's bad luck, unless the cat crosses 
from right to left.


It's bad luck to run backwards.

Briscoe's Omen of the Day

[Allan Newsome]

Briscoe's Omen of the Day

~If you knock your chair over while getting up from the table, it’s a
sign you lied while sitting there.

~A bird flying into your house for no apparent reason, is a sign of
good luck and fortune for the owner- not so much for the bird! It may
also be a sign of news from a distance.

~Snakes are good luck. One crawling up your doorsteps portends that
someone from another country will enter your home. A snake in the
garden brings good fortune.

~Wild animal tracks in the snow, completely encircling your house are
another sign of good luck.

Briscoe's Omens of the Day

[Allan Newsome]

~If an apple bursts in the oven while baking, good news is on the way
for the cook.

~Eggs that crack while boiling are a sign that visitors are expected.

~When rice forms a ring around the pot while cooking, the cook will become rich.

~Knocking over the sugar bowl is another sign of money (as sugar used
to be expensive) Spilling pepper signifies a coming fight, while
spilling salt is a well known sign of trouble. Throw a pinch of salt
or pepper over the left shoulder to avoid the hex.

~Accidentally mixing up the salt and sugar in a recipe is a sweet
sign, it predicts good news.

~Forgetting to add spice to a recipe while cooking signifies trouble
ahead, and you must remedy this by adding the spices as soon as
possible before you eat.

Quote of the Day

[Allan Newsome]

Quote of the Day

Eleanora: Oh, I can feel it. You're going to be another Leonard Blush.
Barney: Oh no, that's too much to ask.
Eleanora: Why not? He just walked in here off the street one day. Two
years later he sang the Star Spangled Banner at the opening of the
County Insecticide Convention. The rest is history.
Barney: And he still has that radio program, doesn't he?
Eleanora: Third Tuesday every month. Station YLRB, Mt. Pilot.
Barney: Big Time.
Barney: Does he still wear that black mask when he sings on the radio?
Eleanora: Oh no, no. He just wore that for a year when he had that
skin condition.
Barney: Probably emotional - he went to the top so fast.
Eleanora: Very meteoric. Very.

Two Chairs No Waiting 338: Mayberry Meet-up 2015

[Allan Newsome]

http://youtu.be/Bz41NaJCrO4  (video)

Hello Mayberry!

Hopefully you knew about the 2015 Mayberry Meet-up that was held in
Mt. Airy, NC the weekend of July 17th through the 19th because I did
all I could to let folks know we were getting together for some
Mayberry fun.  If you didn’t get the word, I’m certainly sorry because
you missed a fun and relaxing weekend.

2015 marked the 3rd meet-up at the Mayberry Motor Inn  in Mt. Airy.
This time Jan and I arrived in Mt. Airy early on Thursday so we could
start the long weekend early.  It turned out that the Newsome’s
weren’t the only ones wanting to get and early start on a long
weekend.

I know you’ll enjoy this report about this weekend of Mayberry fun.

Mayberry Meet-up 2015 in Mt. Airy, NC 17-19 July 2015 (Schedule)
   if you don't know what this is about, visit the following link for 
details:

Hey Mayberry folks!

I'm putting together the schedule of things we'll be doing during the 
Meet-up weekend but PLEASE realize that nothing is mandatory and nobody 
will have hurt feelings if you choose to do things other than those 
suggest.  I just wanted to let folks know where Jan  I will be and 
invite you all to join us if it fits your schedule.


Friends...all the below are options/suggestions for things to do in Mt. 
Airy.  The main events, to me, are getting Betty Lynn's autograph on 
Friday and the evening gatherings in the gazebo at the Mayberry Motor 
Inn to visit  get to know one another.


IMPORTANT:
I've been trying to find a way to communicate better while at the 
meet-up so I've created a Remind class for the Mayberry Meet-up. 
Remind is normally used for teachers to communicate with their classes 
but it will work great for this.  If you can get TEXT messages on your 
phone, this will allow me to text all of you at one time.  No personal 
information will be collected and you will ONLY get text messages from 
me related to the Mayberry Meetup.


To receive messages via text about the Mayberry Meetup 2015,

Send a text message to this number: 81010
with the following as the message:  @maymu
   (include the @ symbol)


Jan and I are looking forward to seeing you all in Mayberry!

Re: Andy's Birthday

[Allan Newsome]

On the day (1 June 1926) that Andy was born in North Carolina on the
East Coast of the United States, there was another equally famous
person born in California on the West Coast.Do you know the famous
person who shares Andy's birth date?

I know the answer so I won't give it away but nature had been very
good to her. That isn't a hint...just a statement. :)

If you're on Facebook, be sure to follow the TAGSRWC page.

http://www.facebook.com/tagsrwc

The Presiding Goober of TAGSRWC posted this, along with a photo, on
Andy's birthday:

Today we celebrate the be-grinning of Mayberry with the 89th
anniversary of Andy Griffith's birth. He was born June 1, 1926.

Over 675,000 people viewed that message honoring Mr. Griffith.

Two Chairs No Waiting 329: Who is Andy Taylor?

[Allan Newsome]

http://imayberry.com/podcasts/2015/05/two-chairs-no-waiting-329-who-is-andy-taylor/

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at
http://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com

Last episode I said, Mayberry fans know that Andy Taylor was called, The
Sheriff Without A Gun.  and that got me thinking, how well do folks
know Andy Taylor?  In all the episodes of Two Chairs, I've never really
given any type of introduction to the people of Mayberry.  Where they came
from or who they are so I thought it was high time I corrected that
oversight.

Who better to focus on than *the* man of Mayberry, Sheriff Andy Taylor.

Re: TAGS Fans Out of this World

[Allan Newsome]

Tucker: You people are living in another world!

Andy: Now, easy, Mr. tucker.

Tucker: This is the 20th century.  Don't you realize that? The whole world
is living in a desperate space age.

Tucker: Men are orbiting the earth. International television has been
developed. And here, a whole town is standing still, because two old
women's feet fall asleep!

Barney: I wonder what causes that?

Mayberry Meet-up in Mt. Airy, NC 17-19 July 2015

[Allan Newsome]

Mayberry Meet-up in Mt. Airy, NC 17-19 July 2015
 at the Mayberry Motor Inn
(http://www.MayberryMotorInn.com)


Hey Folks,

I wanted to invite anyone who would like to make plans to visit Mt. Airy,
NC the weekend of 17-19 (Friday-Sunday) July 2015.

Jan and I are, for the third year in a row, heading to Mt. Airy for a
weekend of Mayberry fun!

There's nothing BIG planned other than on Friday the 17th Betty Lynn
(Thelma Lou) will greets fans at the Andy Griffith Museum 12:30-3:30 p.m
(ET).  She will have autographed 8×10 photos available ($10). For more
information about what's required to get Betty's autograph, visit the
museum website at http://www.andygriffithmuseum.org/ or call (336)
786-1604.  There is $3 fee for touring the museum/getting access to Betty
(I believe).

We will schedule times for folks to get together and visit with one another
during the weekend at the Mayberry Motor Inn gazebo on both Friday and
Saturday. (I've already checked in with Alma and Michael about doing this
again this year) for some good visiting time...maybe some pizza (food for
sure).and watching episodes of The Andy Griffith Show together.

If you're interested, go ahead and make reservations at the Mayberry Motor
Inn - Phone 336-786-4109 - (they have rooms if you hurry).  If it gets
full, there are other places to stay nearby in Mt. Airy. You can still come
to the gazebo for fun and fellowship even if you can't stay at the Motor
Inn but they dig you so you be nice and dig them back.

The last two years have been a lot of fun for me, getting to visit with
folks and enjoy good conversation.

If you're interested, go ahead and make reservations at the Mayberry Motor
Inn - Phone 336-786-4109.

I'll come up with a schedule of things folks can do as we get closer but
things I'm pretty sure we'll do:

 * Visit the Andy Griffith Museum on 17th to get Betty's autograph and look
around.
 * Eat Dinner at The Depot in Dobson, NC (Or head out on your own to eat)
-- Bring your camera because it's a sight to behold.  Here's a link to
the web site - http://www.codycreek.net

I'm sure we'll find more to fill our time and I'll send out info as we get
closer to the date.

If you're going to try and make it, please e-mail me directly
(fl...@imayberry.com) so I can have some type of head count.

I hope you'll considering making the trip and we'll have our own Mayberry
sized version of a Mayberry weekend in Mt. Airy!   It's FUN!

Reminder.....Please don't quote the entire Digest to which you're replying

[Allan Newsome]

Hey Folks!

It's been great to see so much wonderful Mayberry related conversation
going on here on the Digest and I don't want to curb it at all.

I do, however, want to remind townsfolk to be careful not to quote the
entire WBMUTBB Digest to which you're replying.

Many of you have e-mail clients that automatically quote the message you're
replying to so you'll need to be careful not to allow it to do that.  The
safest way is to create a new e-mail to wbmutbb@wbmutbb.com and copy and
paste the part of the Digest you feel is needed to make your reply
understandable.

Whatever you do, have fun and enjoy the Mayberry fun here on the Digest.
That's what's most important.

Welcome to Mayberry to our new members

[Allan Newsome]

Hello Mayberry!

I was going through all my e-mail messages trying to continue cleaning
up and I found somewhere around 19 e-mails from Mayberry fans
requesting membership to our little corner of The Andy Griffith Show
fan community.

That was both good and bad.  It was good to have so many new folks
coming to town but it was VERY bad that I had somehow misplaced many
of their request from weeks/months back and had not added them as
members of the WBMUTBB Chapter.

To all of you who I had missed for so long, please accept my sincere
apology.   I certainly didn't ignore your request on purpose and I
will do better in the future.

I'd also like to apologize to all our townsfolk for falling down on
the job like that.

I want make sure people know our little corner of Mayberry is a
friendly place and not responding for such a long time is not a good
way to express a friendly attitude.

So, I would like to say, WELCOME to Mayberry to all our new friends.
I hope you'll forgive me and that you'll enjoy your stay with us here
at the WBMUTBB Chapter.

Sincerely,

Allan Newsome

Mayberry Cruise 9 Report

[Allan Newsome]

Hey friends!

I'm reporting in from Jamaica. I wanted to tell you what had happened so
far on the Mayberry Cruise 2014.

Yesterday we did the mayberry Bible study, and the interview with george
lindsey jr, and an interview with leroy mcnees. It was a fine day and we
stopped off in the evening with an Elvis concert.

Today we're in Jamaica. Jan and I got off the ship and into the port mainly
so we could say we've been to Jamaica. She and I didn't do anything
exciting. As a matter of fact I'm sending this email sitting here in the
port so that I could update you guys on what was going on. That's the
exciting part for me, telling you guys what's happening in Mayberry.

We still have a port date tomorrow (Tuesday - maybe today as you read this
) in Grand Cayman and then a trivia contest, Mayberry trivia of course.
Then on Wednesday we have the Mayberry variety show to end up the cruise
last night.

I sure wish you were with us, make plans to come next year a lot of fun and
I know you would enjoy it.

Take care and hold down the fort until I  make it home to WBMUTBB HQ.

Allan
