You will find the songs titled with different names depending on how old the song is and in what denominations hymn book you are singing from. You will find the same thing with the words of the hymns. Depending on the age of the hymn book you will find different words to various songs. For example one hymn says "for a sinner such as I" while the older version reads "for such a worm as I". I feel sure if you look at many different hymn books, and from the age of TAGS they need to be very old books, and maybe even look in the type of hymn book Andy used as a child, you will find the hymn with the title he gave. They're doin'it, they're doin' it, hey Andy! Way to go Andy!

But it made me think. What would I do if I was in a TAGS episode. So, to turn this moulage into something good for TAGS, I'm askin' for an answer from everyone. If you could be put in a character's place on TAGS for one episode, who would it be and what episode?

I meant to send a message earlier so everyone could watch but I guess I just wasn't thinking. Watch for him again in the next 5-7 days in the quarterfinals.

(AIT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Pigeon Forge Event Review #2 We were told that Maggie-Peterson Mancuso (Charlene Darling) was a multi-talent singer, able to sing lots of types of music, but at the Pigeon Forge event, seeing and hearing her sing confirmed it. Her talent would have been welcome at any of the shows up and down the strip there at Pigeon Forge, but on this night she was there with her Mayberry fans. She seemed far from the hills with her gorgeous full-length dress and classy tunes. Her performance in the first session was highlighted by a touching rendition of "My Buddy" dedicated to the late Denver Pyle and other departed TAGS stars, and sung in a single spotlight before a black background highlighted with sparkling sequins. Maggie looked as young an vibrant an ever, a beautiful lady. The crowd thrilled to the appearance of the most central TAGS character to appear, Betty Lynn, our Thelma Lou. Though 74 years young, Betty still has those sparkling Fife-catching eyes. What is lost in the youthful figure was more than made up for with the unmistakable voice, the charming grace, and genuine sweetness of our 'Thel'. She looked like she could have just walked out of the dreamed-about home with Barney. She shared insights such as how people thought that she really had a thing for Don Knotts...and how they 'acted' that with so little physical contact. She is truly proud of Thelma Lou and honestly appreciates the fan adoration after all these years. Betty graced the audience with her rendition of "Getting to Know You" which was her earnest desire with the audience. For those seeing a TAGS star for the first time, this was truly a treat. We were 'there' in Mayberry in the year 2000 in the home of Thelma Lou with friends, a timeless experience. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 03:10:05 -0700 (PDT) From: Rafe Hollister <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: The Great Tom Jacobs Laura Lee Hobbs wrote: > ...We thanked and we thanked, and we still can't figure out if the man > who was thought to be the great Johnny Coons is really Johnny Coons or > not. So, can someone explain it to us real simple like? Nope, Laura Lee. The man who everybody THOUGHT was Johnny Coons (SOMEbody told us that was his name awhile back, and we all fell for it) AIN'T really Johnny Coons. The man we've all been watching strolling through the streets of Mayberry, or standing in crowd scenes, or being featured (with few words of dialog) more prominently in some episodes, is named Tom Jacobs. This is according to the article on the back cover of the July issue of "The Bullet", TAGSRWC's newsletter, and the source of the info is George "Goober" Lindsey. According to the article, Tom Jacobs is Danny Thomas' brother. So, all these years we've been watching the "great Tom Jacobs" doing his thing in Mayberry. As for WHO Johnny Coons really is, I don't know. Maybe SOMEbody else can tell us, and I'm sure we'll all believe him.

(Hmmm...and I wasn't even wearing my bucket!) >>> Exactly right. His real name was Amos Jacobs, but when he first entered show business, he was so afraid that he would be a failure, he changed his name out of fear of embarrassing his family. He had several siblings, two of whom were Daniel and Thomas, so he borrowed their names to use for his stage name. BTW, In the TAGS pilot episode, a sign for Amos Jacobs' hardware store can be seen. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 07:23:10 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: quilt >>>- - One grand idea came for the 2001 event: have people to start making squares for a quilt to raffle off. This would involve a few sewers to gather the squares and complete the quilt.... That's a great idea; I have just one question, though: Is Frieburger going to be there to keep things running smoothly? He's Mayberry's sewer inspector, after all. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 09:54:09 -0400 From: Michael Burch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Trivia Unanswered? Ok, if someone DID answer my trivia question of a few posts ago, then I must've missed it. Who said "when I get married it's gonna be to a girl just like me!" amd what was the epsiode. Need some clues?

Pilot In a message dated 8/9/00 7:47:47 PM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << And if Mt. Pilot also has a courthouse, then it must be in another county. But people only get called for jury duty in the county where they reside. So, if I'm thinking right, Aunt Bee couldn't have been called for jury duty in Mt. Pilot! Can anyone either confirm or correct this??? >> I served on a jury in Mobile with people from other counties because those counties were included in our "circuit." So, Mt. Pilot, even in another county, could have housed the circuit court or even federal court. (Although, I doubt this would have been a federal case.) Kevin G.

Did the editors miss this one.....I think there is even a "Floyb is a Crook" chapter of the AGRWC.....oh well....let's not make a moulage out of it! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 08:42:50 +0100 From: Paul Jennings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #276 Remember the jinx epsiode? When Andy...Barney...and Henry sank in the lake.....was that a real lake......or a "set" lake?

That brings me to two questions -- favors, actually.... First, would anyone be able to post photos from that event (or other TAGS gatherings)on the web so that those of us "homebound folks" could see what we missed? Second, as a new-ish member of the WBMUTBB? chapter, I'd like to see a list of the annual TAGS gatherings, with date, location and brief description. I've counted up 3 or so that people have mentioned in recent weeks, including the Pigeon Forge event, a 40th anniversary event (was that the same as the Pigeon Forge event?), and Mayberry Days. And something in April 2001? A couple of us Kansas City fans are contemplatin' attending one of these events next year, if we could have enough advance notice to plan, pack our picnic basket, and get Wally to give our car a thorough check. Many thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Maybe this has come up before but I haven't seen it. When Andy leaves the courthouse before Gomer call to report the robbery at Wally's, the keys to the cell were not on the peg outside the cell door. (Must have been on the peg outside the cell drawer.) Anyway, how did Otis get out of his cell to answer the phone and how did Barney get out to help Andy at Wally's? The cell doors may have been open but Barney told Andy earlier "Don't put that key in the there, I'm not coming out". How 'bout getting those buckets out and tellin' me what you think.
