continuity supervisor

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Hi Joe,

Regarding script continuity, I believe that the responsibility may be for the 
continuity within each story, rather than across story arcs.  The person in 
charge of that makes sure that certain shots have consistent features and are 
tied together with the rest of the story.  

One of the many examples of what the person does might be this: with the single 
camera technique, there is the possibility for props to become altered between 
each shot, and so the person makes sure that these props are consistent.  
Sometimes this responsibility may also be in the propmaster's bailywick.  

We've all seen examples of when little slips occur.  For example, Barney's 
famous hair change during the recitation of the Preamble of the Constitution, 
shows that his hair was one way during one shot, and quite different during 
another shot.  Makeup may also be in charge of this, along with the director.

Also, the continuity supervisor makes sure that word usage is consistent in the 
script, etc.  
It seems that, with different productions, the role of script continuity 
supervisor changes somewhat.

Night Shoots and Dialog Additions

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Hey Joe,

I always thought it was due to the technology, as you said.  Maybe the film 
couldn't handle it, or it would prove too expensive to light the set 
adequately.  

Another thing along those lines you mentioned, is that some shows would shoot 
without location sound.  So, if the Andy Griffith show was shooting at the 40 
Acres lot, it's conceivable that they may have shot without sound and added 
dialog later.  The Avengers (British 60s show) was, in its early 60s era, shot 
without sound on location shoots.  

There's one scene that comes to mind on TAGS.  Barney has been stood up by 
Thelma Lou (and Gomer). Andy finds him at the courthouse, all dressed up with a 
bag of fudge.  Together, they go out and check the doors, Barney sharing the 
fudge with Andy.  There are a couple of lines that Barney says while he has his 
mouth full of fudge, outside.  
That makes me wonder if some of that dialog was added later.

Radio Gunsmoke - Floyd and Mayor Stoner

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Speaking of Gunsmoke, on the radio version of Gunsmoke, which aired from 
1952-1961, our very own barber, Howard McNear, portrayed Doc Adams alongside 
William Conrad's Matt and Parley Baer's Chester.  Now that makes ya thank.
Was Mayberry really Dodge City, or vise versa? 

The Old Radio World website has 480 episodes (in mp3 format).  
http://www.oldradioworld.com/shows/Gunsmoke.php 
The versions on this website are of higher quality than those offered on 
archive.org.

Can't you just imagine the opening Gunsmoke credits that show Matt Dillon in a 
shootout, with Barney in his place?

Andy on Letterman 1985

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Fellow Mayberrians,

Thanks Joe for mentioning the Andy Griffith appearance from 1985 on the David 
Letterman Show.  What a great one!  
I wish he had gotten more time to talk about the Manteo festival before Dave 
cut him off.  Just kinda "pushy."  ;-)

That was just a little before he started on Matlock, too.

Leonard Blush - Howard Morris et al

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Mike,
I'm with you about it being Howard who did the singing, although in some ways 
it sounds a bit like Don Knotts.  Although the singer's voice isn't typical of 
Don's, in its sound, I was going back to the sound of Don's voice in "Now In 
The Month Of Maying". 

This topic is fascinating and might beg for some investigation into the manner 
in which the shows were produced at that time.  
For example, was this radio voice 'feature' done simultaneous to the scene 
being shot (elsewhere on the soundstage), or was it pre or post recorded and 
mixed in with the scene?  
The Griffith Show was a little different from the usual 3 camera sitcoms, many 
of which tended to do things as much on the cheap as possible.  

The single camera approach of the Griffith Show, however, may have afforded the 
resources necessary to perhaps pre or post record such a feature.  

So, to make a long story longer..lol...it may (or may not) have been Don 
Knotts.  Leonard Blush's speaking voice does sound almost like a different 
voice than that of the singing voice (although this is common in many singers).
Howard Morris was undeniably a man of many voices, as well, and I wouldn't 
doubt it for a minute if he did the singing and news reporter voice (which is 
very evident in his speaking voice and range).

The Ghost and Mr Bon Ami

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Hi Paul!
I'm with you on that!  It's my favorite of Don's movies too.  When I was a kid, 
it was even a little scary (esp when Kelsey turns around slowly when playing 
the organ, hunched over).  

The picnic speech (with the paper notes flapping agains the microphone, only to 
be swept away ('gone with the wind')) was excellent and always leaves me 
gasping for air!! :)
I got to enjoy the tail end of it on Saturday night, and I couldn't help but 
wonder if Don was hurt by the impact of Reta Shaw's purse (did she have a brick 
in it?)!  
The interesting thing is that the scary parts are played very straight, which 
adds to the ambiance. :)

The music is classic...who can think of the movie without thinking of Vic 
Mizzy's organ music?  Even the opening "Universal Saturn" clip is scored to 
blend with the movie..

Nydia Westman did a great job with "And they used Bon Ami."  I saw her in 
another scary film: with Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard in "The Cat and the 
Canary" from 1939.  
Burt Mustin then shakes his hand, after handing Luther the flashlight...cracks 
me up!

Allan did a great 2 part "Two Chairs No Waiting" (episodes 159 and 160) just on 
"The Ghost and Mr Chicken" back in 2011.

Andy at the Bus Station

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Jacob,

Thanks for the great perspective from the 60s-70s.  It reminds me of the photos 
when Andy would re-visit Mt Airy, and how the town was then.
That simple 8x10 at the bus station was so succinct that it says it all.  A 
simple town with little pretense and a 'town notable' at the bus station. 
Just as Andy didn't want the movie made about Mayberry, it seems that that 8x10 
was as extravagant as the original town wanted to be, at the time.

Thanks,
Clyde "Barn"

Nice report Allan.  I listened to the podcast too.  Sounds like a fun time.

I lived in Mount Airy from 1964 to 1972 and at that time, there was no 
'Mayberry' themed influence in the town at all.  The Snappy Lunch was there, of 
course, but it was not well-known that it had been mentioned in the show.  
Everyone knew that Andy had been born in Mount Airy, but he seemed to make a 
conscious effort to distance the show from the town and he seldom, if ever, 
visited.  There was a black and white
8X10 photo of Andy on the bulletin board of the local bus station; that was the 
only Andy Griffith-related item in town at that time.

I know what you mean... I heard Barney was doing the ol' "pow, pow, pow" on all

"Interstate gas patrol" was the temporary seal painted on Barney's side car,

Mayberry Weathermen and Vets

Curt - that's right, about Al Checco and Don Knotts performing while in the US 
Army.  Two wonderful guys.
When they were stationed in the Pacific was when Don's "Danny" dummy got either 
left on a desert island or thrown overboard (depending upon your source.  ;-)  
).

Elizabeth - It might be a tight contest between Johnny Paul and James Spann!  
All that tornado bud nippin would necessitate at least 2 weathermen.  
Maybe Barney could use the old bullhorn (from "The Cave Rescue") to proclaim 
"respect the polygons!".  
Does Barn have doppler?  Maybe old Blue could wear a portable radar...

Now, Barney might've become a storm chaser, with his side car, or maybe even

Chamblis, Collins, and the Kettles

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Thanks Millie,

All of the Fifes have the Fife eyes.  :-)

Chamblis almost might've said ("would you like an egg timer, with that?") as he 
loaded the bags into the limo/car.  
I think the Kettle films were from the late 40s to mid 50s, or so.  This was 
the 2nd Kettle film (3rd, if you count "The Egg and I").

Oh, yes, I forgot about the guy who played Mr. Masters.  Didn't he play the 
makeover specialist (one of several) who were giving Ma a makeover?  

I kinda wish Uncle Ollie had had a larger (no pun intended) role in the movie.  
I always liked his acting.

And, you've gotta love Pa Kettle's square dance calling - excellent!

You know, the Kettle films had quite a few familiar faces... the other night I 
watched "The Kettles Back On The Farm," which guest stars Ray Collins (Lt Tragg 
on Perry Mason) as the good-natured Jonathan Parker, who also happens to be 
quite knowledgeable about "you rainy yum" (uranium).

Floyd on Gunsmoke

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Hi all,
Recently, I attended the Spirit of the Cowboy Festival down in McKinney, Texas, 
and it was such an invigorating experience, I've begun to renew my interest in 
westerns. 
At the event were the cast of the Virginian, as well as Robert Fuller (Laramie, 
Emergency), Alex Cord (numerous, Stagecoach, Gunsmoke), Paul Petersen (Donna 
Reed, F-Troop), as well as others.  
Remembering that Howard McNear portrayed Doc Adams on the radio version of 
Gunsmoke (which preceded the t.v. version) prior to TAGS, it was interesting 
that William Conrad (Cannon) played Marshall Dillon, while Parley Baer (Mayor 
Stoner) played Chester!  
Here's a great site that has radio episodes in the public domain.  Enjoy!

Tornadoes and thankfulness

Hi Gang,
Just a note to say that we're ok after Friday's devastating tornado, west of 
Oklahoma City.  I just heard that now it's quite a historic storm, 
meteorologically speaking.

The storm, though, tore the roof off of my music shop and flooded the place, 
so's it's quite a bit of work, but we're thankful that we're alive.  
We've got the insides torn out, so we're all making progress, but that awful 
smell persists, and many instruments, etc are ruined.

I wonder if Gomer could be deputized for the flood again?

episodes, in which they added a new door.

I have a question that I don't believe has been asked on?WBMUTBB before- at 
least I haven't seen it in my 4 years on board. That concerns the quality and 
individuality of the laugh tracks. Each laugh track seems uniquely composed to 
fit the situation or punch line- unlike other comedies of this era the laugh 
track doesn't seem canned or generic.
Does anyone know if these laugh sequences were each built up from the ground,or 
does there exist a huge inventory of these tracks that the director or producer 
combs through to find the right one for the situation?
Been on my mind lately!

Gomer's Wedding With Barn's Vocalizing

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Ken,
Wasn't Barn at Gome's wedding, and didn't he sing?  
I heard Barn still carries that special vocal microphone with him, and it's 
still extremely 'hot,' so he has to just whisper the lines.
Poor Glen Cripes still has to follow him around, too...

This last Mayberry Days, he took time, as he always did, to chat with me about

Julie Sommars and Allan Melvin on Perry Mason

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Hi Gang,
In doing some of my Christmas quote t.v. viewing today, I spied the lovely 
and talented Julie Sommars (Julie on Matlock) and Allan Melvin (broad cast of 
characters, including the fruit stand bully and of course Sgt Hacker in Gomer 
Pyle) today on an episode of Perry Mason entitled: The Case of the Careless 
Kitten.  
It was episode number 235 and aired on 3/25/65, season 8 of Perry Mason.

It was great seeing these two in roles very very different to the other roles 
they would take on.  Allan's role as Thomas Link, in particular, was quite 
different, and he actually cuddled a kitten!  

Time to resume the trained noticing,

Mayberry Days

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Hi Gang,
It was a real (BIG) pleasure getting to return to Mayberry Days again this 
year, after being absent last year.  
Arriving on Friday, I first encountered Floyd sitting on a park bench, chatting 
with a few of us.  A lady barber arrived and wanted a picture of her cutting 
Floyd's hair, so I snapped a few of the ceremonial hair clipping.  There were 
quite a few loose scalps around, let me tell you what!  It was nice to meet you 
again, Allen.
I found the Mayberry postmark, and the friendly folks at the post office gave 
me the scoop on that.  
Moseying on down (or up) to the Andy Griffith Museum, I chatted with Emmett 
Forrest and Allen and took their photo.  Emmett has some nice new items in 
there, including a sheet music for What It Was Was Football that I hadn't 
seen before.  He also pointed me to the Mad magazine that featured Andy, from 
1958, I think.
George Lindsey, Jr. was super friendly, and we chatted for quite some time in 
the lower level of the museum.  He posed with me, and mentioned that he would 
be barely recognizable in the Saturday parade.  
Saturday began with the great and incredible parade with the traditional rain, 
which was all a part of the proceedings.  I could just picture the rain storm 
that happened that one time when the gold truck came to town.  There were some 
new fun girls, as well, and one gave me a kiss, but it melted later.  Haha  
I saw a new Barney or two, one in complete motorcycle decoy - Shazam! 
costume that included a bush and a lifelike machine gun.  The Brower Interviews 
and chapter meeting were enjoyable, as always.  
Thanks for all who made it so enjoyable!

RE: What did Opie say; Fudge Sound; and Opie Hanging on to Andy's Arm

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Hi Gang,
That's a good one, Paul!  Thanks for sharing that.
There's a similar scene in which Andy and Barn are walking, checking the doors, 
as Thel was going with Gome to the movies.  We can still hear Barn talking as 
if he had no fudge in his mouth, yet the camera shows him chewing.  I wonder if 
quite a few of the outdoor scenes in particular had overdubbed sound?  In 
reading about the British tv show from the 60s, the Avengers, it said that they 
filmed 'mute' (without recording sound) on the location filming in the 
early/mid 60s and I was wondering if TAGS did the same thing at times?

I also have another question that's been praying or preying on me lately.  
I can't seem to find the episode in which Opie is hanging on to Andy's arm at 
the Taylor house, and Andy is trying to shake him loose, seemingly annoyed.  
Andy is standing, and it seems like they were getting ready to go somewhere.  
Thanks for any noticing.  :)

On Season 4, some of the laugh tracks were missing, and then some were

still some missing.  Does anyone out there know if the new complete box set has 
fixed this problem?

I wonder about those ebay items.  There is an actual barber brush used by 
Howard McNear in the $200 price range.  As to authenticity...how would a person

RE: Ghost and Mr Chicken Letterbox

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

On the topic of The Ghost and Mr Chicken, I was wondering if any of you have 
ever found a laserdisc or dvd release that has the 
Special haunted house design on the top and bottom letterbox areas, as 
described below?  I remember seeing it on tv this way, and I think 
That the opening titles were the only part of the movie to have this special 
border artwork - when the movie started in earnest, the picture became 'full 
screen/pan and scan'.  

http://www.kiddiematinee.com/g-gmchicken.html

On TV, from the late 1960's to c.1990, the letterboxed titles of The Ghost And 
Mr. Chicken had the old Universal widescreen borders, which normally featured a 
curlyque design in the spaces. For some prints of The Ghost And Mr. Chicken, 
they featured a special haunted house design in the top and bottom letterbox 
areas. New video copies have only black letterbox bars. The films Techniscope 
image is ENTIRELY letterboxed on videodisc and DVD.

Bluegrass Legend Earl Scruggs Dies At Age 88


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Bluegrass legend and banjo pioneer Earl Scruggs, who 
helped profoundly change country music with Bill Monroe and later with 
guitarist Lester Flatt, has died. He was 88.

Scruggs' son Gary said his father passed away Wednesday morning at a Nashville, 
Tenn., hospital. Gary Scruggs said his father died of natural causes.

The elder Scruggs was an innovator who pioneered modern banjo sound. His use of 
three fingers rather than the clawhammer style elevated the banjo from a part 
of the rhythm section -- or a comedian's prop -- to a lead instrument.

His string-bending and lead runs became known worldwide as the Scruggs picking 
style. It was perhaps most prominently displayed on the iconic theme from The 
Beverly Hillbillies.

Gary Scruggs says funeral plans are incomplete.

Floyd....the Plumber?

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Hi Gang,
I've been enjoying the broadcasts of the great Burns and Allen Show lately, 
and I've been delighted to see Howard McNear appear on several of them.  In 
several episodes, he has a recurring role of Mr. Jansen, a widowed plumber with 
four teenage daughters.  One episode in particular, The Plumber's Union 
(1957), is strikingly similar to another episode...Floyd, the Gay Deceiver, 
in that some of the facts about Mr. Jansen are 'stretched' in order to attract 
a female.  The only thing that Mr. Jansen didn't do was shout Miserable, 
deceitful WRETCH!'.

Here's a plot synopsis from imdb:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0587142/plotsummary

Gracie finds out that Mr. Jansen, a widowed plumber with four teenage 
daughters, is looking for a wife. She volunteers to help out by placing an ad 
for him in the Personals column, but in her zeal to help Mr. Jansen, she 
stretches the truth a bit. Complications ensue.

Floyd, the Park Commissioner, talks to Gracie about his bulbs

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Well, well, well (as Barn said), who should I see Saturday night on Burns and 
Allen, but Howard McNear, playing the Parks Commissioner of New York City (Mr. 
Lambert), on the Burns and Allen Show (episode 196 - The Stolen Plants).  
Gracie had nipped (in the bud) some daffodils, and she was turning herself in 
to Howard (well, submitting herself for arrest), who suggests she can just pay 
for the plants.  Well, that turns into a scandal, as Gracie starts spreading 
the word that Mr. Lambert (Floyd...err..Howard) is selling plants out of the 
park, and it winds up in the paper.
When Floyd was in the Lonely Hearts club, I wonder if Floyd Lawson Enterprises 
ever dealt in bulbs?  Did Floyd keep any fertilizer in the back room?  Makes ya 
thank.

In the episode The Big House, when Andy, Barney, and Gomer are on the roof,

We never see it, but as others have speculated, there has to be a restroom 
located near the back room of the courthouse. 

The steps leading up to the mayor's office must be back there as well, but we 
never see those either. (Remember, in The Loaded Goat, Mayor Stoner tells the 
blasting engineer But my office is up there. Another clue that the stairs are 
back there comes in The Beauty Contest; Andy and Ellie exit the back door 
immediately after leaving a meeting in the mayor's office. 

And speaking of courthouse plumbing, there is a sink in cell #2, but not in 
cell #1.

Re: Andy's Autograph

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Thanks Paul!  
Yes, unless it's an in person autograph or there is photographic evidence of 
the signing, or the seller is extremely trustworthy and/or belongs to and is in 
good standing with the UACC and other reputable organizations.  Of course, 
there are exceptions to every rule, in which a known non-signer will sign 
(human nature), but it pays to err on the side of caution and step out with the 
right foot so all will go well. :)
Here are some good links to help those with buying autographs:
http://www.oocities.org/hollywood/cinema/3950/dealers.htm
http://www.geocities.com/~sbeck/dealers.htm

Both offer tips, advice, and organizational links.  
Hope this helps,
Clyde Barn



Almost all autographed photos of Andy Griffith were actually signed not by 
Andy himself, but by his manager, Richard O. Linke (with Andy's permission). 
When anyone wrote in to ask for an autographed photo, Mr. Linke would do the 
signature. He could make a near-perfect copy, and he probably still can to 
this day. 

That being said, it is certainly true that there are a few genuine items out 
there that Andy actually did sign with his own hand. For one thing, according 
to Mr. Linke, Andy always signed his checks himself. So a cancelled check with 
Andy's signature is the real thing. I have one, and will be glad to send a 
picture of it to anybody who wants to see what the genuine signature looks 
like. 

Another thing to remember when buying autographs is that a certificate of 
authenticity is worthless. Anyone who would sell fake autographs would not 
hesitate to print up a fake certificate to go with it.  The only way to be 
absolutely certain that an autograph is authentic is to get it yourself, in 
person, but to my knowledge Andy has never appeared at any sort of autograph 
show, and I'm also told that he quit giving out autographs decades ago.

RE: Barney's appetite

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Hey Jason,
Oklahoma dittos to you from the You Just Can't Be Nice To People chapter. :)

Now, you have a definite point there about Barney and all that roughage that he 
was eatin!  I wonder if Doc Adams' corncob removal elixir might be just the 
thing?  
Howard McNear played Doc on the radio version of Gunsmoke..I wonder if, 
thereby, Floyd might've treated Barney's over cobb-u-lation?
Barn sure looked beside himself after eating all that food!  And on top of 
that, banana cream chocolate pie!

Little wonder he felt like a Fife smoke afterwards!

It's always fun for a trained noticer to spot little continuity errors. I 
watched Barney's Physical just a couple nights ago on Netflix (I don't have 
cable, so I get my TAGS fix from DVDs of the first 4 seasons and from Netflix 
streaming) and never caught either of the main two goofs pointed out in this 
clip. (I guess I was just too busy following the plot). For those of you who 
like a mystery, I won't give away the main goof, but I will point out how clean 
Barney's plate is at the end of his meal. After eating so many corncobs, it's 
no wonder he ended up with such a case of the hiccups!
(Anyone know of a cure for those things?)

That it does - the absence of color really focuses on shadows.   The lighting

RE: Floyd's Glasses

Keith,
I agree that they did fit his personality!  He sure completed the character of 
Floyd, down to the little bits.  It's amazing to think that he passed away at 
such a relatively young age.

I wonder if there are any interviews?  Yes, I would love to hear Howard McNear 
talk about the show, or just anything, really.

From: Keith Miles mayberrymi...@yahoo.com
Subject: Floyd's Glasses

I don't have any insight on the change in Floyd's glasses, but I always 
thought that the glasses contributed to the fact that Floyd looked much older 
when he returned from his stroke (obviously his health also affected that 
older appearance).? I think the glasses really fit Floyd's 
personality/demeanor when he returned to the show.? I was shocked when I first 
found out his actual age, in that he was only about 57 when he had his stroke 
and he would have only been in his early 60's when he left the series, dying 
at the age of 63 in 1969.? He easily looked to be upper 60s or 70 after his 
stroke.
?
I have always enjoyed Floyd's speech and mannerisms after his stroke...I would 
have loved to see or hear an interview (outside his Floyd character) around 
that time as I have heard from those on the show that he was very similar in 
and out of character...don't know if that applied to both pre-stroke and 
post-stroke.

Those McNearian Shades

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Fellow Mayberrians,
Here's a subject that hasn't come up, so far as I can see, at least in a wee 
while.  

This is under the wider umbrella of Mayberry props and costumes...  
During his early years in the show, Floyd wore a sort of wire rimmed glasses, 
up until his time away from the show, due to his recuperation from the stroke. 
After the stroke, his appearances were with the dark rimmed glasses.  I've 
always assumed that the stroke necessitated a glasses change, but the more I 
think about it, 
I also wonder if it was part of a wardrobe update for Floyd?  Has anyone read 
or heard anything about this?  
Most of the cast didn't seem to have any really noticeable wardrobe changes or 
updates, but maybe they were very subtle.  

It's one of those things that many of us, I'm sure, take for granted when we 
see Floyd, but it's got me real curious!

Clyde Barn

Loaded Goat Music

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

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).  
(I think my previous attempt may have been filtered out, as it had a URL.
Here's a safer link [below] that won't be removed (just replace the gap with a 
dot)
Youtube com/watch?v=wGB-5ZmjSz8@feature=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? :-)

Car had been mostly loaded the evening before, so finished loading what was

US-70 to I-85 and headed on to Mayberry!
We made one rest stop outside Greensboro and made it the rest of the  way 
without stopping.
..(ed: had to trim this down to allow it to send to

Then it was head for home, made 2 more stops along the way, one rest stop and 
one for a tank of cheaper gas which was 3.35.9 which is still ridiculous!  But, 
we made it and got our sleep last night!

Hey, Mayberry friends. This is my theory on the gun on top of the hutch.Even 
though the citizens of Mayberry are a law abiding bunch, Andy had to be 
prepared if an 'interloper' ventured into town. The gun in his home and hidden 
would be there if needed. After all, he was a lawman and lawmen have to be 
ready to protect citizens and themselves. This is just my measly 3 cents worth.

Yes, that is a little odd, Ken!  Maybe in principle, he was 'without a gun,' 
but he knew that there were times when one was needed.

Of course, there was that rack of 'big guns' down at the court house, and Andy 
even had the bead on Goober 'that one time.'  Big guns were in case Goober put 
a car in the courthouse.

Maybe the small gun was just in case Goober made spaghetti *again*!

There is something I have pondered for a long time and I cannot remember if we 
ever discussed it.  Something that always seemed so out of character with the 
Taylor household and Mayberry in general is that in the episode High Noon in 
Mayberry we learn that Andy keeps a revolver on top of Aunt Bee's dining room 
hutch. He also kept the bullets close by.  Andy had always made it known that 
he never felt the need to carry a gun in Mayberry because there was no need and 
he wanted the people to respect him and not fear him because he wore a gun.  So 
why would he feel he needed to keep a gun in the dining room of his own home 
when he felt there was no need to ever lock the doors?  I have also wondered 
whether Aunt Bee and Opie would have known the gun was there.  Certainly they 
would have come across the bullets when they were kept in the hutch drawer. 
(not hutch door).  At one time I thought perhaps Andy put the gun there after 
finding out that the ex con was coming to visit him.  This is the only scenario 
that makes sense to me.  But then Andy had no idea he would come to the house 
until he called him, and at that time the gun was already there.  If anyone has 
any insight on this I would enjoy hearing it.

Dear Fellow Mayberrians,

Well, the Borders bookstore (not to be confused with the border on Old Man 
Kelsey's Creek, Woods, or Ocean) on Main and Elm is closing down, and I got a 
nifty spiffy special edition DVD  set of Meet Me In St Louis with none other 
than Mr. Hampton, the high school principal, before he came to Mayberry just in 
time for the Senior Play (not to be mistaken for the Senor Play).  I almost 
said he lives in the 18th century, although I think the story was set in the 
early 20th century.  ;-)

Mayberry Songs and Mayberry Weather

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Hi Gang!
I think my favorite songs in Mayberry are:
1. Mayberry Union High (when sung by Andy and Barney)
2. The Manhunt (especially when played as background music to Barney 'going 
over the top.')
3. Oh When the Saints Go Marching In (conducted by Earl and played by the 
orchestra in the Fun Girls episode at the big dance)
4. That little instrumental dance number (title unknown) that makes numerous 
appearances (when the Fun Girls show up at Andy's house at the end of the ? 
episode and have the radio/phonograph playing and Barn says Ange...since it's 
Friday night?  They *are* good dancers.)  Also, it appears when Aunt Bee is 
teaching Opie how to dance, although the arrangement is different and the tempo 
is slower.  It usually features an electric guitar as the lead instrument.  It 
might appear elsewhere.
5. Chattanooga Choo Choo (The Return of Barney Fife - played by Carl 
Benson's Wildcats, consisting of drummer, accordionist, and Mrs ? (the 
librarian) on saxophone).  There's a neat site called rocklopedia fakebandica, 
dedicated to 'fake bands,' which listed this one.  (www.fakebands.com)



Over to Mayberry weather, yes, that big electrical storm in Dogs, dogs, dogs 
also came to my mind.  
Didn't it also storm when Andy and Barney were checking up on Quiet Sam? 
I recall talk of there being deputies left over from 'the flood,' as well.

I wonder what causes that?  Would that be moronism or moronic behavior?  
Gosh Paw!  
I've rediscovered my bucket, as well.  :-)

Hey Clyde Barn
?
I'm sure others will also?jump in to let you know that the word is OXYMORON. 
?But I just bought a new shiny bucket, so I just wanted to show off how good 
it works.

I wonder if there's a term for those opposites you very rightly pointed out?? 
little big and pretty ugly seem perfectly natural to say, but the 
meanings clash, in a way.? 
How about a lot of nothing or big nothing or even big bunches of 
nothing??

RE: I Spotted a Familiar Face

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Thanks for sharing, Keith!  Yes, it's a good thing he's a 'Sheriff Without a 
Gun'!  :)  
Speaking of Adam-12, I saw our own Aunt Nora playing an oinery landlady who was 
being just plain oinery to a tenant.  
Malloy told her to go back to her room or he would arrest her.
I wonder what Uncle Ollie would've said?

A local station has been showing episodes of Adam-12. This evening the 
officers 
were attending an awards ceremony honoring Reed for saving Malloy's life. 
Accompanying Malloy was our own Helen Crump. The kicker was when the Sergeant 
told Malloy Keep an eye on her. She goes for men in uniform.
Thank goodness Andy didn't know. He gets insanely jealous over his women. A 
man 
like that really shouldn't be allowed to carry a gun.

Mayberry Heaters

Speaking of heat sources, Barn packed a heater, although I don't think it had a 
thermostat. :-)
