Tribute Artists..more
Just to add to what Sandy and Mike have said, Tim does have a great relationship with George Lindsey. The last time I saw Tim, he talked about going to George's birthday party. He reported that George asked Him How is our career going? George's heath does not allow him to do much acting or very few appearances, as I understand. So, not to beat this to death, but there is no rule written or unwritten that a tribute artist's character's original actor cannot be alive. Don Knott's enjoyed many joint appearances with David Browning before his death. Just to add one more tidbit. While some Tribute Artists could be basically volunteer, David Browning is a professional actor. Doing the Mayberry Deputy (as well as other acting) is his career. I enjoyed seeing the clip also. Thanks for sharing that. The Untrained Voice Ken, I thought your talk was real nice. The only thing you might add to the intro would be. Friends Family, Fellow Citizens and Honored Guests Or something like that ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

does not seem right to steal a man's character while he is still using it. I would think that George Lindsay would take it as a compliment that somone thinks so highly of him to impersate the character. But going by your logic, David Browning was affronting all laws whilst Mr. Knotts was still kickingQuit that David! No more fidgeting, no more finger pointing, no more peanut butter and jelly sammiches for you.

Tribute Artists
Someone mentioned whether or not I got paid when I do my presentations. I usually ask for the very nominal donation of $25 and then I give that to our food bank at our church. I also donate 100% of the price of my books to our food pantry too. We serve between 300-400 families every week. Many times I present for free if the groups do not have funds. Just to clarify too that I do not consider myself to be a tribute artist in any shape or form. I always begin my talks by saying that I am in no way pretending to be Barney Fife nor will I try to act like him. I simply wear the uniform as a way to make my presentations a bit more interesting and to pay tribute to Don Knotts for the fine actor that he was. I have the highest regard and respect for all those Mayberry tribute artists out there. What a remarkable job they do keeping Mayberry alive and well for all of us. I enjoyed that news clip the other day so much. Having never met any of the artists in the flesh it is always great to be able to see clips of them. Thank you to all of you who emailed me regarding my talk that I am going to give at my school reunion. So many of you mentioned that Guy Doud has influenced you as well.

Tribute Artists
For those of you who didn't come to Mayberry Days, like Ken Anderson, new tribute artists now include Mayor Pike, Emma Brand/Watson, Miss Mary, and Andy himself!! There's also a couple of new Opies. I brought my moldy bullet, but Barney wouldn't let me play Asa. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Question about tribute artists..
Being a fairly new subscriber to this mailing list, I have noticed several references to tribute artists. Is there an already established Briscoe Darling devotee? I have a video resume' ready to submit - if I knew how to contact the correct committee.

Tribute Artists
Michael Z. had an interesting idea - Tribute Artists for characters never seen on camera. I can see heading off to the ball game to see our beloved Mayberry Deputy along with The Mayberry Waitress (Juanita), The Mayberry Operator (Sarah) and The Mayberry Mountain Girlfriend (Hoggett). Sounds like a career opportunity for someone. Sarah, get me my house. dan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
