Andy does not play a Tuba in the Mayberry Band. His instrument of choice is the "Ever Popular" Baritone. The Baritone sounds like a smoooooth Trombone when played properly. Many Trumpet players doubled on Baritone to provide a more brassy sound during Marching Season. I don't want to sound like a " Know-It-All" but you ain't talking to a dummy you know.

I didn't realize a single one of those cars still existed. Did they at least say whether it was the '60 or '61? I wonder where the other seven are/went?

His name was Tom Silby. A couple of others who left town were Opie's Hobo Friend (at the urging of Sheriff Andy), Malcolm Merriweather, and Jim Lindsey. 'Til next time. Jacob in Jackson, TN "Nip it!

Yesterday on our local station, the "TAGS" episode was the one where Opie competes for a job to be the delivery boy at a grocery store. I was doing other things while it was on (shame on me) and I missed some of it, but the thing I saw that has stuck with me for 2 days now was that final scene. Andy comes home to talk to Opie after hearing that Opie, after getting the job, gets fired. Andy, of course, is mad and Opie begins to explain. He tells Andy that the other boy needed the job to help pay bills because his father was sick. And Opie is nearly crying the whole time he is telling the story. At the end of that scene, Andy puts his arm around Opie and calls him a man. I had not see this one in a long time so I had forgotten about that part. Let me tell you, I just sat there and cried. Talk about touching episodes...if any of you have not seen this one in a while, watch it again when you can. It is a real winner!! I would love to know there are young people out there today who can be that touched and moved to action by the problems of one of their peers. It is also noteable that Andy fixes his parental blunders so well. It is a wonderful thing when someone can admit they are wrong, while at the same time making the person wronged feel special. I love that!

There's still one left that nobody has gotten yet. Hint: it's in the percussion family. - - --Paul Could it be that he clanged Barney's cymbals once? One other "instrument" that he use quite often was his larnyx. He had a lovely singing voice.

(Opie Enters the courthouse) Opie: Pa? Andy: Oh Hi Ope. Opie: You talking about something? Andy: Oh No No No, Barney was just showing me how he can still remember something he learned in the eighth grade. Barney: Surprised ya too, didn't I? Andy: Sure Did. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2001 13:02:30 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Larry McPeak As many of you know, Larry McPeak, a very talented singer/songwriter and member of the musical group, the VW Boys, was diagnosed around 16 months ago with a fatal liver disease. This was the same disease that Jim Nabors had. His only hope was a liver transplant. I am so happy to announce that yesterday, Larry received his transplant in Martinsville, VA and is doing GREAT!! He is awake and alert but still in intensive care. He will remain there for around 4 days and then they will get him up and about. So many people in the Digest have supported Larry with their thoughts, prayers and generous donations. We all thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Please keep Larry in your prayers as he starts this leg of what we know will be a full recovery. I will try to post an address where any that want to can send him a get well card in the next few days. Ain't GOD Good!!! ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V3 #114 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ 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.
