Anyway, the real foggy memory is >of Andy and Helen apparently on their honeymoon, sitting on a balcony, Andy playing his guitar & singing to >Helen; then the camera pans back and all of a sudden--big as life--there sits Barney!... Am I completely bonkers >this time? As far as being completely bonkers goes, I think most everyone here has an opinion about that already, but anyway, the scene you are remembering is in fact from the first episode of Mayberry RFD, entitled "Andy and Helen Get Married." The episode opens with Andy's bachelor party, then the wedding (Barney serves as best man). The remainder of the episode is about Aunt Bee coming to live with Sam and Mike Jones. The "guitar" scene with Andy, Helen, and Barney is the epilogue. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 Apr 2000 18:47:00 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: wbmutbb-digest V2 #109 hey, James Best is one I would have a first date with, Jim the guitar boy, yesirree. i like him alot. lucy ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 Apr 2000 18:54:38 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: wbmutbb-digest V2 #109 I have attempted to post a msg on this board thru the wbmutbb, where i set up my membership, but cannot find it, so i posted one to you. is that allright or what? thanks, Lucy ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 Apr 2000 21:58:44 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: musings from the Safari Lounge Hey! MissPoovey here, in the breakroom at the Safari Lounge, taking a break and laughing at the postings in the digest. I swear Laura Lee, have you been reaching for those heavy spaghetti pots on the top shelf at the dime store? Cause you sure sound like one of 'em fell and hit you on your head! Either that, or you need to take a hint from Lydia about staying out of the sun when you're gold truck watching! Use some sunscreen or a big brimmed straw hat; your brain seems to be getting on the well-done side! :-) ~the groovy MissPoovey~ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 Apr 2000 21:32:57 -0500 From: "Gloria Bruce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Jackie Joseph I think Jackie Joseph appeared in one of Elvis' movies. I think it was the one made in Hawaii. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2000 00:12:50 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mayberry Goes Hollywood Well, I'm out here in Hollywood again and it's been another great weekend. On Saturday I was able to get autographs from Don Knotts and Betty Lynn. I also had my picture taken with Morgan Brittany, who was Opie's love interest in the (color) episode where he invites her to a dance and then she is invited by a more popular guy and goes with him. Probably my biggest thrill was when I met Charleton Heston and got his autograph. On Sunday, I sat and talked with Betty Lynn at her table most of the day. Except when I went over to meet Steve Allan and Michael J. Pollard (cousin Virgil). Tomorrow were going back up to the Franklin Canyon Reservoir (Myers Lake) and take some video. I'll have some new photos on my web site probably by the end of the week. Later!

I identify so very well with everything on the show. I have grandchildren now, but I also have a 9 year old son who loves to watch Andy with me. He always says he has never seen Andy give Opie a spanking on the show although it is often implied. I have only had to give my kids a few and they were all for major infractions I admit. But if you go along and raise your kids with the morals implied on the Andy Griffith show you don't have to give too many spankings. I am glad that it is shown and by no accident that they all went to church regardless of the denomination. Social breakdown in our families is the major cause of so much of our problems that we all encounter now. I wish more folks would raise their kids like the kids in Mayberry and our world would be a better place. Thank God For Andy and Mayberry.

The Cracker Barrel stores sell pop in a bottle under the label of, I believe, "Stewarts". I know they have orange and grape, so one could believe that there would be root beer to choose from too! Since Cracker Barrel is supposed to be an old timey tasting place to eat than maybe their soda pop in the glass bottle will help out the event. They have bottles of their pop in coolers so I know you can buy some, evening if you are just passing by! Hmmm....now I don't reckon I have ever heard of Jones' Soda. I travel back and forth to Lexington, Ky regularly. I just might have to look that one up to quench my thirst on the journey! How is it bottled? Of couse up north, I kind of like the Hines root beer even if it isn't in a glass bottle anymore. Sighhhh..remembering when. Since living in the south, I never see it down here only when I go home. Guess it is back to the Aunt Bee pickle patrol, Sandi ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2000 08:43:09 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: "Fishin Hole" And "And Then There Was Football" In a message dated 4/8/00 2:05:24 PM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << played the "fishin hole" song with Ange singing it. That was so goooood and I was wondering where I might get me a copy of that song somewhere. >> Hi All! There have been two questions for favorite recordings that my fellow Mayberrians have been asking about in the last week. Both of these recordings can be purchased on one CD set with many more great Andy recordings (I got it from Santa in my Christmas Stocking!). Last week I got a catalog in the mail with the same CD and think this might help a person out who is looking for these. The CD is called "What It Is...Is..." and is a 2 CD set which isn't sold in stores. It is being sold in this here catalog for $19.98 for the CD set (#6637-2) or $17.98 for the cassette set (6637-4). The company of the catalog is Heartland Music and their ordering number is 800-788-2400....sorry I don't see an internet site. Among what you will hear Andy telling is "What It Was Is Football", "Romeo & Juliet", "My Home State of North Carolina" and many more!! He also sings and snaps his fingers to "The Fishin' Hole". Now mind you I don't work for these folks and am not taking the Barney Fife Walking Salesman Course...just wanted to help a neighbor out! Now I do need to get back to watching the reserve of Aunt Bee's pickles!

They had the Cooking show with Aunt Bee, they had Colonel Tim's Talent time....why not... Who Want's to be a Mayberry Millionaire! The hit game show is created 40 years earlier and begins as a touring show. After building the set in Mt Pilot, and having contestants from Mt Pilot and Greenville it's now Mayberry's turn! (it might go something like this) Just minutes before airtime, a Producer and a Stage Hand run out to the middle of the stage where the show's host sits, just across from the contestant "Hotseat". An unidentified man shown from the back, with a greasy cap on is sitting in the host's chair. Producer: SIR GET UP! You CAN"T SIT THERE, Move to the audience, please! As the chair whirls around a grinning Gomer Pyle waves at the panicked Stage Hand and Producer. Gomer: "Hey, this is Nice, Real Nice!" A uniformed Andy Taylor runs out to assist. "Gomer that's the Host chair, what are you doing?" Gomer grins again as he starts to get up "Aw shucks, I was just mindin' it for Regis" The Producer looks puzzled, but relieved as Gomer begins to walk off. "It has something to do with the 'Gold Standard'" Andy comments, confusing the Producer even more. Just as they clear the stage, the lights and music begin, to start the show. A boyish Regis Philbin appears on Center Stage. "Well, welcome to another night of, Who WANTS to be a Mayberry Millionaire. This is our sixth night in North Carolina and the only night that all of our contestants are from the quaint town of Mayberry. We have back with us tonight contestant Ernest T Bass, who made it to the hotseat right at the end of our last show....Uh, where is Mr., Bass? (Regis looks around frantically) " He-he Ha-ha-ha He He" comes the unmistakable giggling of Ernest T as he bounds to the stage with a few hops, and with the last hop, flops into the contestant Hotseat. Ernest T: "You Rang, Mr. Filllllbin" Regis: " Well yes, Mr. Bass, you had us worried, we didn't know where you were..and I didn't know until just now that it was you skipping and dancing around there backstage and giggling.

Regis: "Well yes, I suppose so" Ernest T: "Is if formal or semi-formal? Open or invitation only? Regis: (getting agitated) I don't know, what makes the difference, just answer the question! Ernest: T " Hey now you're the slick and polished hostin' dude...Ain't no reason for you to get so rude" Regis: "OK, Mr. Bass, none of those things matter to the answer" (Ernest T is looking out in the audience and sees a rather homely woman) Ernest T: "My, that's an ugly wart you have on your nose!" Regis (stunned) That's right! Ok now, $500...What do you call a woman who has a maternal influence on you? Is it A) Aunt Jemima B) Granny Clampett C) Mother Figure or D) Big Mama (Ernest T now hangs his head backward over the seat, staring at the audience upside-down.

Regis: Sure, We can to do that. Ernest T (stands up on his chair and shouts to the audience). "What does a bride wear at a wedding?" (Regis looks startled) (The audience shouts outs answers, through the various shouts Ernest T gets an idea and sits down) Regis: "Ernest T, we have these little button things they can push, You don't have to shout and have them shout back" Ernest T: "This fancy stuff, it don't mean nuttin' I'll get my answer without no button!

What kind of rocks do you collect. Ernest T: "All kinds...Mostly shapes and sizes that throw good" Regis (eye brows furrow) "You throw your rocks?" Ernest T: "Like a cannon! I can pick a squirrel off a tree from a quarter mile away". Regis: " No kidding! Does anybody ever call the sheriff on you if you hit something like that". Ernest T: "Not if they wanna keep their winders!" Regis: "Well, Interesting hobby. Are you ready to go for 2000 dollars?" Ernest T " Yes sir, I have my very own Di-plo-ma.
