There's the guitar in numerous episodes, the tuba in "The Mayberry Band" and "Sermon for Today" (sorry, no French horn in any episode), the organ in "Church Organ" (as mentioned yesterday) and the piano in "Barney's Physical." There's one other episode in which he plays the piano, and there's still one more instrument that no one has gotten yet. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 07 Apr 2001 20:35:45 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Andy's instruments >>>Hhhhmmmm... regarding the different instruments that Andy plays on the show, I know I'm not as educated as many of you, but as I recall he plays (well, the guitar of course on many episodes), the tuba on "The Mayberry Band", he plunks a few notes on the piano on "Barneys Physical" and I think he plays a horn (I want to say French Horn, but I'm not sure) on "The Sermon for Today". ...are there more?? >>> We're getting close here.

I sure hope my complaint in jest didn't cause all those multiple postings of Paul's last message ! LOL!! I'm glad to find out who Frick and Frack were. It brought a pleasant memory to me as a young lady I worked with several years ago once referred to her two little boys like that; they were real mischievous and she was a cutie-pie herself who was thoroughly enjoying motherhood despite their shennigans. What are "Jack tales" anyway? Aunt Bee of Orlando ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!

As for Charlene, no offence but I do not believe she was educated enough for Andy (don't no body get mad, cause I love Charlene, she sings like an angel). ****************************************** I agree on this one" Let me get this straight, you expect me to spend the rest of my life with a skinny giggly 15 year old girl". I also think Charlene couldn't quite cut it, but then as Barney says "Opie needs a mother, you both love music and she has a lovely singin' voice." As for Peggy's east Texas drawl, living there for quite some time, yes I agree on that one also. I think my favorite is Ellie and then Miss Peggy simply because she strike close to home and also a "lovely singin' voice." Rose love sunshine, violets love dew...please Miss Peggy sing another one."

The students love it, and I also teach the concepts of facts and exaggeration with this episode. I even submitted my lesson plan for this to the LEARN NC website for educators, and it was approved. I also use TAGS to teach character education in my classroom. "The Haunted House" and "The Christmas Story" are used for Halloween and Christmas. In my school, I'm known as the "TAGS teacher." ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Apr 2001 20:48:57 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Hi Im New to The Club Hi you'all!

But the one Andy plays is a B-flat tuba, I believe. If anyone can support or dismiss this, I'd love to know myself. It's just a compelshun! **Barn >>> In addition to being pretty good at trivia, I'm not too bad on the tuba (for them that don't know, I am an orchestra director). Unlike most band instruments, tubas are built in 4 different keys: Bb, C, Eb, and F; however, because sizes vary greatly from one manufacturer to another, you can't tell what key a tuba is in just by looking at it. One tubist I know has on Eb Willson that is roughly the same size as my Bb Mirafone. The Bb tuba is what all bands use, so that's probably what Andy played on TAGS. Most symphony tubists prefer a C tuba (sometimes referred to as CC), because symphonic music is often written in the sharp keys, which can be awkward on Bb instruments. Eb and F tubas are used for solo and small ensemble work. The sousaphone is a kind of tuba that wraps around your body, with the bell above your head. They are very common in marching bands, although nowadays more and more bands use what's called a convertible tuba, which is a regular "sit down" tuba with a special leadpipe that lets you hold it on your shoulder with the bell facing directly forward. To march with a full size tuba like Andy did is not easy. It didn't look like Andy even used a strap or anything. - --Paul P.S.
