I got to thinking about this episode and since it was not TAGS, could it have been The Courtship of Eddie's Father? Sounds like something that may have happened on that show. A full episode guide can be found here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063887/episodes **Barn

It was not Herb Ellis making all those wonderful guitar sounds. Any TAGS fan knows it was Briscoe Darling. Did you forget he can get guitar sounds, banjo sounds, just about any musical sound outta that jug? He's a one-man showcase! A litle bird told me he was the one doing the woodwinds,

If my sources are correct, Jerry Van Dyke (Banjo Playin' Deputy) was offered the part. He nosed out Don Rickles (The Luck of Newton Monroe) for Barney's replacement. Now, as I understand, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the producers were scouting for a suitable replacement. After

IMDB indicates the actress used two stage names. Tammy Windsor was used 1957 -- ca. 1961. I do have a copy of the movie, Ladies Man, in which she had a role. I'll see if I can check that out. If anyone has any Perry Mason, she was in season 7, episode 15. Both credits list her as KK.
