A momma bird feathered her nest on our front porch recently, and sure enough
later three little baby birds appeared. My wife and I named them Winkin,
Blinki nand Nod, of course!!!!!! (Funny thing, though, Nod isn't as pretty as
the others)

Subject: Jimmy Buffett/Andy Griffith
My wife and I were at the Jimmy Buffett concert last week. One of his songs
was done with a bluegrass theme. Right before they started playing - he said "I
feel like Andy Griffith and I'm with Barney,Aunt Bea and Opie here in
Mayberry". I take it from this Jimmy Buffett must be a Mayberry fan. Bob

Fellow Mayberrians: As I write this submission to the WBMUTBB Digest, I am
operating on sheer Mayberry adrenalin, for I have yet to go to sleep after a
busy Mayberry weekend. On Friday, I drove six and a half hours to Pigeon
Forge for the Mayberry Reunion Show in Tennessee for a great show, followed
by an autograph session. I was able to leave the autograph session by 11:30
p.m., then drive about an hour to a hotel outside the Knoxville Airport
where I only managed to get three hours sleep before heading out on a 6 a.m.
flight to North Hollywood to an autograph show there with Andy Griffith/
Gomer Pyle connections.
The biggest connection was meeting and having my picture taken with
Barbara Eden (The Manicurist), who had a line which seemed a mile long;
Jamie Farr (one of the TAGS gypsies); Jackie Joseph (Ernest T's Sweet
Romeena); TAGS writer Bruce Howard; Maggie Peterson (Charlene Darling and
who also appeared in the Bruce Howard-written "A Girl for Goober" as Doris);
Ronnie Schell and Barbara Stuart (who have both TAGS and Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.
appearances to their credits and who performed at the Pigeon Forge show the
night before); Roy Stuart (Corporal Chuck Boyle); and Francine York, who
appeared on two Gomer episodes.
I also arranged to meet actor Bill Erwin, who had parts in TAGS'
"Stranger in Town" and "Mayberry on Record". I got to talk on the phone with
Mary Jackson (who appeared on TAGS as Mrs. Parnell Rigsby, wife to the man
who lost the purse with $50 that Opie found but is best known as one of the
Baldwin sisters on The Waltons); and met Helen Kleeb (the other Baldwin
sister) who appeared on TAGS as Mrs. Morgan in "Andy and the New Mayor that
introduced Parley Baer as Mayor Stoner.
I flew back to Knoxville on Sunday, arriving shortly before midnight,
then a nearly six-hour drive back home to shower, change clothes and go to
work to meet a publishing deadline. It was well worth the crazy schedule. I
enjoyed every minute of it. Now I look forward to "Mayberry in the Midwest"
in less than three weeks.

>>Speaking of O'Malley.....have you ever noticed how quickly he gets out
of the bus and across the street to talk with Andy. I guess he was
wearing his orthopedic loafers!<<
One thing about that scene always bothered me. Andy looks across the
street in one direction towards the bus and then O'Malley, Orthopedic
loafers in high gear, approaches Andy moments later from the right side
(Andy's) as if he was coming down the street from a different direction.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a great big Thank You! to Allan,
his wife and family for the great work he does in keeping the digest going, and
their patience while he does it. It is such a wonderful thing for all of us
who love the show so very much. Keep up the great work, hope to see a lot of
you in New Castle, IN in July for Mayberry in the Midwest! As Malcom
Merriweather would say....I hope it's a real bobbydazzler!!!

All TAGS fans should equally love the color episodes as much as the black and
white episodes. It's just a different chapter in the show's history. Many
excellent color episodes of TAGS abound. There is not one "BAD" episode of
all the 249 episodes. I could go on making a list of great color episodes but
I'm not. All true Mayberry fans know what they are. It's interesting to see
some of the counter culture creep into the show in the last two seasons of
TAGS and 'Mayberry R.F.D.' 'Barney Hosts a Summit Meeting' garnered the
highest A.C. Nielsen ratings in the show's history. TAGS was the number ONE
show of the 1967-1968 television series.And lest we forget, Mayberry is LOVE
whether in black and white or color.

I think Andy summed up Barney's life without the Mayberry support system when
he said ( in "Return to Mayberry"), " I don't expect Barney's had many high
spots in the last few years.....everybody deserves at least one." Andy knew
what Barney's life was probably like.
Wonder how Cousin Virgil's life turned out?

Hello all Mayberry fans. Was Goober not a blast at the show. I laughed so hard
I cried. I sure would like to have a tape of the show also if anyone knows if
we can get one. I bought some pictures to add to my wall of Mayberry I have in
my den. I also went to Gatlinburg Saturday night and the street mall there has
a store with nothing but collectibles from many different TV shows. Well gotta
go, Ernest T is on TV land. Take care Beth

Just saw James Best (better known to TAGS fans as Jim Lindsey the guitar
player) on an episode
of Perry Mason today. He was playing an oil man that gets falsely accused of
murder.
Of course Perry proves he didnt do it and finds the real killer. We all know
Jim couldnt
go around killing anyone. James did a great job playing a straight part
without any accent even.
