Aunt Bee of Orlando, you are thinking of the nursery rhyme I used to
read to my children when they were small. Bobby Shaftoe's gone to sea,
silver buckles on his knee, etc. I think the writers of TAGS just made
up that name of Johnny Shaftoe. I have not been able to find it in a
book of Kipling's poetry. If anyone has more information I would like
to hear it. Mary Grace of Georgia

Mary Grace,
Here is the refrain following the first stanza of Kipling's "Tommy":
Oh, it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away";
But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play--
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
Oh, it's "Thank you, MIster Atkins," when the band begins to play.
Tick a lock.
Don Richardson

Nothing in the world will take the place of persistence. Talent will not;
nothing is more common than the unsuccessful person with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on"
has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge

Subject: TAGS and homeschooling
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've written before about how I have been homeschooling our children for the
past 9 years and how TAGS is a healthy part of our curriculum. Yesterday as
we were reviewing my 11-year-old son's spelling list for the week, I was
carefully pointing out that all the words on it followed the "I before E,
except after C" rule.
Of course Zach piped up, "And E before N, in chicken."
As Barney told that founder's day honored guest/pickpocket, "it's nice when
your mother's proud of you."

Has anyone seen the Movie ..."A Face in the Crowd" starring Andy Griffith?
I haven't...but I heard that he plays an unusual character for someone
like him......I guess it's the actor of the man!

I've got a weird observation. I've never seen any bathrooms in mayberry or
heard
of anyone using the bathroom. I don't know why I thought of that. Are
there any
bathrooms in mayberry?

I wrote TVLand a few months ago with the same idea. I even gave them a
formula to fit the commercials in.
I never got a response.
Here was my suggested formula. (approximate times subject to adjustment)
Currently:
1 hour of TAGS has 20 minutes of commercials
40 minutes of TAGS (2 cut episodes)
I suggested:
1 hour of TAGS= 20 minutes of commercials
24.5 minutes (1 uncut episode)
14.5 minutes of behind the
scenes/interviews/trivia (or even promoting TAGS merch)
Apologies to those who already thought like this.
Matt

Subject: the old oak tree
As I was reviewing the "Mayberry Goes Hollywood" episode for our Back to
Mayberry Bible study, I got to wondering exactly where in the back lot
"Mayberry" the old oak tree would have been located. It appears from all
camera angles to be smack dab in the middle of town, but doesn't appear
in any other episodes or photos I've seen. Could someone fill me
in--have I been holding my "viewfinder" hands at the wrong angle, was it
just a prop, or did Mayor Pike waffle again and have it cut down?
Yeah, boy!

>>...however the performance was quite questionable. "Starting out it
was cute and funny, but as they grew up there language changed ALOT"
<--- this is quoted from the two I talked to. They said that they (the
actors) swore and used the Lords name in vain! The couple and another
table of 10 got up an walked out.<<
I was afraid that the word "mature audience" in reference to the play
really meant "swearing." I don't believe, as was said earlier, that
Andy, Aunt Bea or any other adult in Mayberry would accept it. I'm
afraid we are in a "boiled frog" society.
My wife and I have walked out of plays in Atlanta for the same reasons.
Best Regards,

No, there really is a poem about Johnny Shaftoe that has the line "But it's
thank you Johnny Shaftoe when the guns begin to shoot!" I remember learning
this poem in school. Maybe I'll find it someday. If I do, I'll post it.

Hi all,
I wanted to say that Mr. Newsome was right, the play wasn't Mayberry nor
advertised as such, I know this. I never intended to offend anyone and I hope
I didn't. I wouldn't want anyone to think I am judgmental. I am not
apologizing for my opinion, a person can't apologize for who they are and what
they believe in, but I do apologize if I offended anyone, for that I am
sorry.
I hope nobody thinks I am a loud mouthed person, I am not.
sincerely
Michael

Subject: love letters
Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2002 15:28:16 -0500
hey friends,
i also saw love letters at cross creek country club last saturday night in
mt. airy and found myself in awe of two actors who could take a script as
difficult as this one and make it come to life for me. as my wife patty and
i are also doing the play a couple of times this week i wanted to see it
done. right up to curtain time it was my understanding that there was
debate on whether or not to keep the language in or take it out. let's face
it, all actors, including those who were on tags, are actors, and feel a
need to go and try something new on occassion to remind themselves that they
are "still" actors. when i get to perform my Lincoln or Scrooge
presentation i always come back fresh to Mayberry Deputy with renewed
enthusiasm.
i did not go to "love letters" on saturday thinking it was mayberry days
but, rather, and evening at the theatre. howard and betty showed just why
they have been successful for the last 50 years. miss ellie has performed
the same play numerous times to rave reviews and many other name actors
have as well.
our performance last evening in oakboro, nc was a success according to the
organizer. thursday night we are hoping for the same. once completed, i am
off to perform in iowa and texas as the mayberry deputy and i am sure that
this respite with love letters will send me off with renewed energy.
so, in conclusion, i hope you will understand that in order to have the
enthusiasm required to maintain the energy that mayberry demands, sometimes
performers need to step back and remind themselves that the creative process
requires more than doing just one character.

Subject: Don Knotts/Satellite Dish
To: wbmutbb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The following paragraph is from an article entitled
"Satellite for the Stars; Celebrities dig DIRECTV" in
the March 2002 issue of Satellite Direct magazine:
The dish installers agree the celebrities are
usually incredibly warm and gracious. Demi Moore
brought a serving of ice tea out to the guys when her
dish was installed. And Don Knotts, the former star
of The Andy Griffith Show and Three's Company,
entertained the crew with an impromptu comedy routine.
"He is a funny guy", says one installer.
"Now I'll drive, so I'll sit in the front seat"
