Signature Trivia
Opie's signature can be seen in one other episode too. Who can describe the scene? You must be referring to the love note Opie wrote to Helen Crump. That appeared in Season 5, Opie Loves Helen. Thelma Lou (Janet) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

I suppose burning one's name in a piece of wood is a type of signature, but I was thinking of the note Opie wrote in Opie Loves Helen, which went as follows: Dear Miss Crump, X XX Your friend Opie (Before anyone asks, of course I counted the Xs. What do you think I am, a ninny?) Paul Mulik ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Congrats to those who pointed out that we see both Andy's and Opie's signatures, along with Briscoe Darling's, on the marriage contract in The Darling Baby. Also visible on the document, but not yet mentioned, is the signature of Ormond Opel, who is presumably the Darling family's pastor. He is probably the same circuit preacher seen in Mountain Wedding. Why Charlene's signature was not required on said document remains a mystery. Opie's signature can be seen in one other episode too. Who can describe the scene?

Since nobody has yet given the correct answer to my most recent trivia question (when and where in Mayberry can one see Andy Griffith's signature?) I'll go ahead and give the answer. In the epilogue of Mayberry on Record, Ellie Walker is holding the finished Music from Mayberry record album jacket. This record is actually a real record, namely Andy Griffith Shouts the Blues and Old-Timey Songs by Andy Griffith (naturally). The prop department simply pasted over the title, sort of like what Barney did with his old History book. Anyway, the back of the record jacket bears a facsimile of Andy Griffith's signature. Should anyone be interested in buying this excellent album, the LP is pretty hard to find but you can download a digital version from Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0049ULQAA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1420338854sr=8-1pi=AC_SY200_QL40 (If the link doesn't work just go to Amazon.com and search for Andy Griffith Shouts.) OK, now for an easier question: name ANY instance when a hand-written signature is seen in a TAGS episode. The mention of a signature is not sufficient, it must be visible on screen.

Signature trivia
I was not aware that Andy Griffith had written his name on the neck of his guitar. I'm not saying it isn't true, just that I certainly have never heard of this before. That would not be a logical place to write anything, as it would quickly wear off when the guitar was played. Martin did produce a special Andy Griffith Signature Model of their famous D-18 guitar in 2004, and this guitar does have a facsimile of Andy Griffith's signature on one of the frets (not on the neck), but of course no such guitar could possibly have been used on TAGS. Here's a little more guitar trivia for you: the Martin D-18 guitar that Rodney Dillard played in The Darlings Are Coming was actually one of Andy's own personal guitars, in fact it was the same one he played in A Face in the Crowd (for the film it was painted black and covered with sequins, but Andy had it refinished later). The reason Rodney didn't use his own Martin was that it had a shiny finish that would have caused unwanted reflections from the studio lights.

Well,Paul, that is a challenging question indeed! I have no idea, and am looking forward to seeing what folks have to say. I have a resolution, though--to watch more TAGS! Happy New Year!
