My buddy and I used to frequent a local trestle - fishing, wading in the water,
etc. One day we saw a train coming - he put a nickle on the tracks, I put a
penny. We both recovered our flattened coins. Still got mine somewhere. Wow
- that was about 35 years ago. I'm getting old.
i'm gonna have to jump on the peggy wandwagon as far as favorite girlfriends
go. i'm not real crazy about the accent she used - didn't sound too authentic.
but - my GOSH - she was pretty. there's just something about those pretty
nurse-y types. AND she could shoot! what's NOT to love?

re: Middle name
I'm starting to understand that Earnest T. Bass precipitated the Fred G.
Sanford effect - it just kinda stood for whatever was necessary and appropriate
at the time. But I kinda like the idea of Earnest T. remaining a man of
mystery. It's my personal belief that he was
What is it about mountain folk and marital issues? Every episode in which the
Darlings appear, they are dealing with a marital issue of some sort:
1. The Darlings Are Coming - Andy marries Dud and Charlene.
2. Mountain Wedding - Dud and Charlene marry again, this time with a preacher
Ancient question, I'm sure - and I'm guessing that we're never told. But - is
Earnest T's middle name ever disclosed? Maybe the same principle as Harry S.
Truman.?

Just a reminder, since this particular epsiode has been a topic of conversation
the past several days - the YMCA in Columbus, MS will be presenting The Sermon
For Today and Mountain Wedding on stage in early August. All dialogue is
transcripted directly from the show - scene changes, of
Isn't it cool ... reading thru the list of new board members ... it's like

Just a couple of things I'd like to mention:
1. Thanks to Allan for the Omen Of The Day tidbits. I've been enjoying that.
Some of us that frequent this bulletin board were raised in a culture very
similar to that of The Show, and I'm guessing many of us have forebears VERY
similar to
Last summer, the YMCA here in Columbus Miss. produced 3 epsiodes of TAGS for
community theater. One of those was Mountain Wedding, which of course includes
The Darlings and Earnest T. Bass. To the best of my knowledge, that is the
only episode that included both Briscoe and Earnest T. Am I
Wow - a Rolling Stones reference on a TAGS site. Kind of a culture whiplash
thing going on. Sort of like when I was a kid, the family would ALWAYS watch
Lawrence Welk late Saturday afternoons, ALWAYS followed by Hee Haw. I suppose
that's part of what makes me such a well-rounded fellow.

Sci-Fi network is running a New Year's Twilight Zone marathon, and Tuesday
afternoon in an epsiode named Miniature I heard Welcome Sweet Springtime
being played! Couldn't tell if it was Hazels's playing or not.
Then, just moments later in the same episode, I heard Santa Lucia also!
Wasn't it
Oh my. All this talk about scripts and copyrights and legalities and Green
River Accordances - I wonder if I need a lawyer. Where is Mr. Bentley's card
when I need it.

We recently performed 3 episodes of TAGS for community theater here in
Columbus, Mississippi. Our scripts were transcribed directly from shows on DVD:
Mountain Wedding
Barney The Choir
Convicts At Large
Hopefully, I honored the memory of Denver Pyle with my portrayal of Briscoe.

OK - I'm still a bit of a newcomer to the board here, so bear with me if this
topic has been covered 1000 times. I have often been curious about how few
Black actors I have noticed on TAGS. I am not the trained noticer that so many
of y'all are, but I do consider myself an advaced amateur.
she repeats the chorus at the end of the song just a few too many times.
I imagine that repeating the chorus was the only way she could refrain (pun
intended) from crying.
More power to ya.

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.
