YO, I's just gettin ready to post what I thought was another discrepancy found between two of my favorite episodes when my 14yr.old son alertly stopped me! In "Man in a hurry" there aint NUTHIN open on Sunday but in "Sermon for the day" Andy metions that he was going down to the drug store to get some ice cream for later. So I'm thinkin how can he do that cause you know the drug store (and everything else)is supposed to be closed on Sunday,but my 14 year old son said, wait a minute Dad,Andy would probably just use the key over the door and go in and help himself. Shazam! Made sense to me. I guess we'll just have to chalk one up for the youth of the day! Spyda Byte I told you there was Spyders under there. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo!

ET1" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: wbmutbb-digest V2 #273 Paul was asking about Andy's favorite song: <<The other day I asked if anyone could name Andy Taylor's favorite song, based on the number of times we hear him sing, hum, or whistle it. The correct answer is a song that goes something like "...went to Cripple Creek to have a little fun, tore my britches to my knee." I guess "Cripple Creek" is the name of the song; however, I have heard another song by that title that didn't sound like this one.>> Paul, you are correct, the name of that song is "Cripple Creek". The Darling Boys aka The Dillards also do an instrumental very similar to it called "Banjo In The Hollow".

It was 40 years ago, after all. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 06 Aug 2000 17:15:17 -0400 From: Jeff Krentz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Mayberry character a gymnast? >Here's a real stumper, in two parts. I'll give part two later, but here's >part one: > >Which TAGS actor was a champion gymnast? I have no idea why, but I'm gonna guess Bill Bixby. I know he liked to "swing" - maybe he did it from those rings. It looks like almost everything he ate went to muscle too. Yep, I'm gonna say Bailey's Bad Boy spent time on the parallel bars, not just behind Barney's iron ones.

Gomer could tell Barney everything he needed to fix it up. Another episode is when he repairs Mr. Tucker's car. I suppose Goober did give him some tips to take some of the work off of him. >> Hey To All! I don't know if in "Barney's First Car" Gomer had gotten to working mechanical wonders yet. The list he of parts and repairs he was reading off to Barney was said to have been a list Wally made. Mr. Tucker's car...Hmmm that was on a Sunday and we all know Wally won't work on Sundays! Goober, I think was on the lake in his boat but didn't he come back in to work on Mr. Tucker's car? Sometime between these episodes and the episode where Wally threw good ole' Gomer out and he stayed at the Taylor home, he did get some mechanical lessons because he could tell by what the motor was doing to what was ailing the car...

I did notice two things that I thought I'd throw open for discussion. One, I always thought there was only one reference to Andy & Barney's alleged familiar relationship (you know, cousins), but there seems to be a lot more! Who can name all the episodes in which that our Barney brought this fact up? And B, I just love the fact that Barney always seemed to be filmed from a lower position. I've seen that camera angle over and over again in lots of episodes. It makes him look soooo tall and imposing! That's all for now...back to Mayberry. Maybe I'll sneak out to the garage now and take a pinch of snuff! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Aug 2000 17:58:11 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In a message dated 8/5/00 5:34:10 PM !!!First Boot!!!, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> I play guitar some and I always thought it was pretty amazing how Old Jim was able to play lead PLUS accompany himself. Chalk it up to sitcom land. The guitarist who actually did the playing was Herb Ellis. He was a jazz guitarist in the late 50's and early 60's. He played a Gibson ES175C. His better work on TAGS is when Jim leaves the band for being called a "no account bum" by Bobby. He comes back to Mayberry and does some good blues style stuff after he gets his car repossessed! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Aug 2000 18:47:24 -0400 From: "Jeff Koontz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mayberry Days Update Here are the two newest additions to Mayberry Days this year: - - Children's Trivia Contest. The details are still being finalized for the day/time, age group (yes, this is only for the young'uns), and number of questions. I anticipate it will be Friday afternoon. This will be a great addition to Mayberry Days because the "Hearty Eatin' Men, Beautiful, Delicate Women" chapter always does a great job with the trivia contest and it is nice to see the event expand to include the younger fans (many of whom score better than the adults!) - - Golf Fashion/Style Award. This will be open to all teams competing in the Mayberry Days Golf Tournament on Thursday. It is similar to the "Emmett's Style Award" for the bowling teams. The presentation will be at the post tournament banquet on Thursday night at Cross Creek Country Club. If anyone can come up with an good name for this new fashion award, please send your suggestions to me at mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The latest Mayberry Days information is on the Surry Arts Council webpage: http://www.surryarts.org.

I was just thinkin'......maybe you guys could have Ms. Mendlebright over some evening.....you know...she has the white Bible! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2000 09:23:14 -0400 From: "Dan Goodwin/Jobscope" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Our Second Mayor With the passing of Dick Elliott, Parley Baer moved into the mayor's office. As Mayor Stoner, he always seemed to have a little edge on him, but he was always very two-sided. Sharp and bossy to the county employees (mainly Andy and Barn) but a real pussycat when it came to the voters. Probably one of those elections where everybody voted for him except the county employees! But the good Mayor always brought out a side of Andy that I liked. Regardless of how aggrevating Mayor Stoner was, Andy always took him with a grain of salt and went on to do what was right. And when all was said and done, he seemed to like him. It was like he could see through the Mayoral facade to see something good and likable behind it. Heck, when it was all over, turned out he liked Ben Weaver --------- even went fishing with him! dan ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2000 10:43:53 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Sinners Lose In a message dated 8/5/00 11:59:38 AM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << Andy replies, "Sinners Lose All Their Guilty Stains". Now isn't the name of this song actually "There is a Fountain"? Or is there actually a song entitled "Sinners Lose..."? >> Alison: I'm a music minister and I have always known this song as "There is a Fountain Filled With Blood" but I have noticed that there are times when songs are listed by different titles in different hymnals. This could be the case here. It's possible that Andy knew the song as "Sinners Lose All Their Guilty Stains" because that's the way it was listed in the hymnal he grew up with in his church. Anyway, that's a theory!" "Got time for breathin', got time for music" Kevin G.

We tend to forget that Don is not Barney Fife, and that Andy Griffith is not Andy Taylor. We might assume that a movie filmed primarily in black and white in a fictional 50's setting would reflect a certain set of values, but if you understood what the point of the film was, and noticed that it was not rated for immature viewers, you might not think it was so wierd. I'd heartily agree that a handful of TAGS episodes is much more wholesome and entertaining (not to mention less expensive) than a trip to the theater to see "Pleasantville," but I'd also have to say that the movie was much more cerebral and poignant than people have given it credit for. It's just not the stuff "our" crowd goes in for. P.S.: I'd love to see Don in another GOOD comedy while he's still got it in him. Yeah, boy! Andy Baker River Valley Church of Christ P.O.

Hi folks, Since checkers is the most popular board game in Mayberry, I thought it might be fun to start up an online checker tournament. There's a web site called the Microsoft Gaming Zone (www.zone.com) where you can play all sorts of games over the internet for free (they don't make no charge for it; you just have to join up and download the free software). Anybody reading this who would be interested in a tournament, send me an email, and if there's enough interest I'll volunteer to serve as director. Since some folks may not have as much free time as others, we'll keep the pace nice and slow, maybe one round per week. - --Paul ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V2 #274 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ Visit our sponsor ~ Weaver's Department Store ~ http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ ************************************************** You must send your comments to the Digest from the address you used to join WBMUTBB or your message will not be posted.
