Barney Impersonator
Hello Mayberry friends. Several years ago My family and I went to Mayberry Days in Mt. Airy. (Wonderful time!). There was a Barney Fife impersonator there who was simply great. Do any of my Mayberry friends know who he is and how to contact him? Allen...can you help?

The fish would come packed in large plastic tubs and were - yup - packed in salt. She said it was only available in months with an 'r' in it (January, February, March, April, September, etc). It was fried with eggs and no matter how much you rinsed the fish, they were salty enough to curl your toes! I could take it only in small amounts and occasionally, but she and her husband eagerly looked forward to this morning meal.

It took us two days to get there driving and two days back so just left five days of fishing, fishing and more fishing. We would be on the lake at the crack of dawn, catch our breakfast - fish - build a campfire and eat our breakfast. Then we would fish for a few hours, build a campfire and eat our fish for lunch. Then we would fish a few more hours, build a campfire and eat our fish for supper and fish some more until dark. The same routine for five days and then bring lots of frozen fish home to eat for the next several months. Fish for breakfast is gd. I don't think Andy and Opie ever went on that long a fishing trip, especially to catch Carp for the museum.

Near the end of the episode Mans Best Friend ; Goober tells Tommy (when Tommy is asking for the phone number of the man with a horse ) that HE DIDNT HAVE A PENCIL HANDY and told the number to his dog ( the one that could talk ). So Goober was asking Spot the dog for the number. Can you imagine Goober not having something to write with ??? Is there any other exteme fabrications on TAGS that you can think of ? Also this is another momentary suspension of disbelief scene, I still like to point them out. Opie was explaining that the walkie talkies transmit button had to be pushed to transmit and released to recieve, it makes you wonder how Spot operated the thing !

A story about Jesse...from Harvey
A story about Jesse (you'll be surprised!) This is a wonderful short story... but the end is just so wonderful…..you’ll enjoy it for sure….. Let me tell you, Jesse hated this job. And you would too, I imagine, if you had to do it. Jesse was a chicken plucker. That's right. He stood on a line in a chicken factory and spent his days pulling the feathers off dead chickens so the rest of us wouldn't have to. It wasn't much of a job. But at the time, Jesse didn't think he was much of a person. His father was a brute of a man. His dad was actually thought to be mentally ill and treated Jesse rough all of his life. Jesse's older brother wasn't much better. He was always picking on Jesse and beating him up. Yes, Jesse grew up in a very rough home in West Virginia. Life was anything but easy. and he thought life didn't hold much hope for him. That's why he was standing in this chicken line, doing a job that darn few people wanted. In addition to all the rough treatment at home, it seems that Jesse was always sick. Sometimes it was real physical illness, but way too often it was all in his head. He was a small child, skinny and meek. That sure didn't help the situation any. When he started to school, he was the object of every bully on the playground. He was a hypochondriac of the first order. for Jesse, tomorrow was not always something to be looked forward to. But, he had dreams. He wanted to be a ventriloquist. He found books on ventriloquism. He practiced with sock puppets and saved his hard earned dollars until He could get a real ventriloquist dummy. When he got old enough, he joined the military. And even though many of his hypochondriac symptoms persisted, the military did recognize his talents and put him in the entertainment corp. That was when his world changed. He gained confidence. He found that he had a talent for making people laugh, and laugh so hard they often had tears in their eyes. Yes, little Jesse had found himself. You know, folks, the history books are full of people who overcame a handicap to go on and make a success of themselves, but Jesse is one of the few I know of who didn't overcome it. Instead he used his paranoia to make a million dollars, and become one of the best-loved characters of all time in doing it! Yes, that little paranoid hypochondriac, who transferred his nervousness into a successful career, still holds the record for the most Emmy's given in a single category. The wonderful, gifted, talented, and nervous comedian Who brought us - Barney Fife Was Jesse Don Knotts NOW YOU KNOW, THE REST OF THE STORY There is a street named for him and his statue in Morgantown, West Virginia, his place of birth. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Ringtones
Hi folks, I'm trying to find out where I can download The Fishin Hole song to my cell phone without paying an arm and a leg. The places I've checked on-line charge nearly ten bucks PER MONTH. I only want The Fishin Hole song on my cell phone...I don't want to own the company. I'd appreciate some help from my TAGS friends.

Stuff I've noticed
Hi Folks, I've also noticed that the calendars never show the year or the month. I've also noticed you never see advertising signs other than the generic Ace Gasoline or Acme Meats kinda signs. No advertising signs at Weaver's, The fillin' Station or even in merchants window displays. The only brand name I've seen is Ford because Ford supplied all of the vehicles for TAGS. Seems the entire population of Mayberry drove a Ford...but I don't recall ever seeing a Ford Dealer in town. Interesting, huh?

Mayberry Days
Hi Folks, ...just a note to say my bride and I won't be able to make it to Mt Airy for Mayberry Days this year. Guess I'll sit around and look at the hundreds of pictures I took last year. For my Mayberry friends that are attending: I'm sure you will have a ball! For those of you who have never attended: Ya gotta try and make it there at least once. Good luck to all of the Trivia contestants. Give my regards to everyone at The Snappy Lunch and of course to Floyd the barber, Barney, Goober, Otis and of course Ernest T.

Cousin Andy/Cousin Barney
Wow. Ken Anderson is a true TAGS fan. He named 2 of the 3 episodes where Andy and Barney refer to each other as cousin...The Manhunt and Run away Kid. Ken, so that you can sleep tonight, the other was episode number 1. The New Housekeeper. All three references to Andy and Barney being cousins were in the very first year.

Salt Risin' Bread...mmmmm, mmmmmmm, GOOD
I have lots of friends and relatives in North Carolina and when heading South for a visit I always load up on Salt Risin' Bread. It seems to be a special treat in North Carolina. I also send a loaf or two for Christmas. Another god food that seems to be hard to find in that area are White Hots. Don't know why. Could be that my friends and relatives all live in small towns...like Mayberry. (Anybody heard of Rich Square, NC?) Of course I have a difficult time finding Grits around here. I mean REAL grits, not the instant kind. Nothin' like Grits, lots of butter, salt and pepper to make a breakfast real special! I'll bet Barney enjoyed a special breakfast at the Diner from time to time :) Gotta go...I'm gittin hungry!

2007 TAGS calendar
Hi folks, I'm stumped. I just purchased the 2007 Tags calendar and there is a picture of a very young Don Knotts and Andy. Don is wearing an Air Force uniform with two strips on his arm. Andy is wearing overalls and a plaid jacket. Andy's hair is very curly and rather long. (for Andy). I don't recall any TAGS episodes that this picture could be from. Do any of my TAGS friends know the background on this picture?

Mt. Airy (Mayberry Days)
Hi folks, ...just wanted to let all of my TAGS friends know what a wonderful time my family and I had at Mayberry Days. It sure was worth the 600 mile drive from western New York. It was great to meet many of the TAGS folks who post on this forum and it was especially nice to meet Allen. My wife now tells everyone that I was like a kid in Disney World. And actually she is right! Allen had all of the TAGS members introduce themselves. When it came to me, I told everyone my name and that I was from Hornell, New York. Allen said So you are the ONE from New York. Ha, Ha. Actually, Hornell is the same size town as Mt. Airy. We don't lock our doors and everyone knows everyone. I think that's one reason I'm such a TAGS fan. We are looking forward to Mayberry Days next year...and after telling all of my friends in Hornell about what a great time we had, I'm sure there will be a bunch of Hornell people there next year!

Re: Mr. Bullock-You are a poet
Lydia and Laura Lee, I enjoyed your post regarding Harvey Bullock. I too enjoy his work. Mr. Bullock wrote some wonderful episodes. While Mr. Bullock co-wrote many TAGS episodes, my favorites written by only him are: (1) Opie The Bird Man. (2) Mr. McBeevee. (3) Rafe Hollister Sings. And last but not least: The Loaded Goat. Harvey (No kidding, the name Harvey was given to me when I joined this club several years ago) ...don't the trees seem nice and full?

Barney
I, along with my TAGS friends, am very saddened by the loss of of our lovable Barney Fife. My wife and I will be attending the TAGS festival in Mt. Airy, NC for the first time this coming September and I'm sure there will be many fans there who will feel the same. Like many of you, I grew up watching Barney Fife. Someone said Barn became like a friend to all of us. And what a wonderful friend he was. Thank you Don Knotts for being Barney Fife.
