Subject: Re: Spend some time in Mayberry
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some
time in fictional Mayberry (it would have to be more
than 24hrs, that's just a tease), I'd do the usual
daytime stuff, like fishing at Myer's Lake, touring
the downtown, watch them change the sign at the
theater (after enjoying a lemon phosphate, with the
Workingman's Special), hang out at Floyd's and
Wally's, etc. But I'd also find Otis and the "fun
girls" for some real good times in the evening hours.
I'd have to head over to Mt. Pilot for some fine
cuisine, and then up over the Robert E. Lee Memorial
Bridge to pick geetars with the Darlings (and bring
along Freddie/Bobby Fleet & Jim Lindsay), then go
coon, squirrel, and possum hunting with Ernest T. I'd
also try my best to persude another school district in
another state to offer Helen Crump a cushy,
administrative position (with a nice raise), give her
a swell farewell party, and then get with Barney (who
I'd convince to leave the Raliegh PD) to bring back
all them girls for Andy to pick a real sweet one. My
whole time in Mayberry would be in black & white.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted I saw a squad car on the back of a truck
around Simpsonville, SC and wondered where it was going. There was a Squad
Car weekend in Alabama, but we're a long way from there. Yesterday, my son
said he saw the car being driven. Even followed it for a while to get a
better look.
So it looks like we've got a squad car in the Greenville, SC area. Anybody
know whose it is?

Subject: Mayberry moments
Just a couple of Mayberry moments that I thought I'd share. Several months ago
after bathing my 4 yr old and letting her wet my hair somewhat, we were playing
in the den when she nonchalantly looked at me and said, "your hair's drippin'".
And then the other night when I finished staining my deck , we were looking at
it under the floodlight and my wife kept saying that I missed some spots.
Well, I kept saying that it was "just the lightin'", but, as in the haunted
house, it turned out not to be "just the lightin'".

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<<Well, first I would get breakfast at the diner and then head over to the
store where Andy bought the bed jacket (?) and do a little shopping. Then I'd
go get my hair done at the beauty palor and then back to the diner for lunch,
unless during the course of the morning, I met someone who invited me to
lunch. If nothing good was playing that evening at the movies or there were
no ice
cream socials at the church, I guess I'd hang out with the Fun Girls and
maybe see what Al was up to. Aunt Bee 1 >>
Can I go along with you, Bee? Sounds like a fun day. I might skip the
beauty parlor because it's hopeless for me. Instead I'd stop by Thelma Lou's
to see if she's got some brownies cooked up and maybe by Aunt Bee's for some
"sweet tea and spicy talk". I'd like to hang out with the "fun girls" too
- maybe watch Goober sew up his fingers and then dance with Gomer - he'd give
me a workout on the dance floor. We could top it all off with a bottle of
pop and then crash in the wicker chairs on the front porch. I'll bet out
heads wouldn't hit our pillows until quarter of eleven.

Subject: Parlor talk...
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I realize this ain't exactly TAGS material, but all this talk of parlors has
brought up a question in my mind. All my life I've seen old farmhouses with
2 front doors right next to each other. Why in tarnation would a body build
a house with 2 front doors?
Back to TAGS: If I was to spend a day in Mayberry I expect I'd have to start
off with a light breakfast. Bacon and eggs, toast with butter and jelly,
grits, hashbrowns, a short stack, and juice and coffee. Then I'd stop by the
courthouse to see if anyone has been messin' up the bulletin board. After
that I'd get Floyd to cut my hair. Then I'd spend the rest of the day trying
to organize a band concert. I'd round up the Darlings, Jim Lindsey, and Andy
for a little pickin' and grinnin'. I'm a fair hand on the old git-fiddle
myself, but with those fellows I'd just jump in where I could and try to hang
on!

Subject: My day in Mayberry
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Were I to be magically transported to our hometown, I'd spend the morning
driving around taking photos, pop my beloved into Floyd's for a haircut,
look into the courthouse and say howdy, then send him down to Meyer's
Lake to catch a few, while I spend the day putting up pickles with Aunt
Bee and cooking a big supper cuz Barney, Thelma Lou, Helen, Clara,
Floyd, Gomer, Goober and the Darling's are all comin' to eat with us.
Then we'd adjourn to the porch to sing that good old gospel music. I
can't think of anything I'd enjoy more!
Happy dreaming, Aunt Bee of Orlando

Subject: New Doctor In Town
Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 09:53:20 -0500
Hi Gang:
Don't want to make a moulange out of it, but I thought it was interesting to
note that Dr. Peterson, the new doctor in town, in last night's episode was
stated to be 25 years old at the time (seems a little young to have
completed med school and residency, etc., but I digress). Anyway, I checked
on IMDB after the show and found that William Christopher was born in 1932
so he would have probably been 34 or 35 when the episode was filmed. He
might have a bit of a baby face, but he certainly didn't look 25.
Another comment on that episode...doesn't it seem kind of odd that they
introduce a new doctor in town and then we never see him again...not sure
when the next doctor is seen...it might have been Doc Roberts (Asa) when
Andy got sick. Seems to me that William Christopher would have been a good
one to have on as a recurring role after introducing him as the new
doctor...like Rev. Tucker or Clara...just to spice up an episode now and
then. I know producers don't want to muddy the waters with too many regular
characters, but I think William Christopher as Dr. Peterson would have been
a good addition...after all he had previous experience as a Marine private
and an IRS agent!
Are there any other characters that had a one-time appearance that you think
should have been kept on as a semi-regular?

Mayberry Mike and I will be easy to find the night of the bar-b-q! Mike will be
dressed up in an old 60's Texaco uniform as a local gas station owner, (perhaps
from Mt. Pilot)! He will be handing out flags at one of the gates to the Arts
Park and I will be similarly occupied with
flags and/or the Mayberry issue of Christian Activities. If the WBMUTBB members
want to "rally round the flag" and look for us at one of the gates, it might be
a way some WBMUTBB members could find each other. In any case, I would love to

Hi Y'all!
Just took a quick two day trip to Raleigh and Mt. Airy. First of all to any
of you Raleigh/Durham area members...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get the organist
at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park a copy of the TAGS theme song, this past
Sunday night he really butchered the song, but good! This doesn't usually
bother me for most music, but when it's the TAGS theme, that's different!
After that I drove to Mt. Airy and was very surprised to see a line at the
Snappy Lunch, not too long and only a few minutes wait. The pork chop
sandwiches are still the best, I wish I had one now! Actually it was the
first time I have actually eaten inside the building, usually the lines too
long during MD! It was nice walk the streets there again since I missed
last year's MD and can't make it this year.
Have a great day Mayberry!

I would probably spend the night at the hotel, but I'd want a room in the back
so's I would't have my bible readin' interrupted. Then I would head by Floyds
for a quick shave and the days news, hey to Andy and Barney as I strolled by
the courthouse, behind my back I would hear Barney say quietly,"We don't know
anything about that new stranger in town." Then I'd sneak on up and through
Old Man Kelsey's Woods to see if'n I could hollar up Earnest T. Bass for some
lessons in rock throwin'. Then by Meyer's lake for a sack lunch, that I just
happen to find in an unattended squad car. On my way back to town i'd hike the
woods to see if I could hear anything in the treetops. Once in town I'd get a
meatloaf special at the diner, then walk out to Wally's for a cold pop. Then
back to the hotel for a new pair of shoes and after dark sneak down out of my
room on a rope, so I could get caught and spend the night in jail with Otis.

Subject: Possible Andy appearance/from The Associated Press
Griffith expected to return for highway naming
MOUNT AIRY (AP) -- Andy Griffith is expected to return to Mount Airy this fall
for the naming of a portion of U.S. 52 in his honor, local and state officials
said.
Griffith, 76, was last honored in his hometown on June 1, 1957, for Andy
Griffith Day.
The state Transportation Board approved the highway naming last week.
"We now have a go from the governor and the secretary of transportation,"
Transportation Board member Sam Erby said Monday. "And, barring some kind of
illness, Andy Griffith and his wife, Cindy, are planning to attend the
ceremony."
The ceremony is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 16.
Griffith is best known for creating one of the most popular and well-known
characters in the history of television, that of Sheriff Andy Taylor on the
1960s CBS series "The Andy Griffith Show."
The show was set in the fictional town of Mayberry, widely believed to be based
on Mount Airy.
Griffith and his wife live in Manteo, along the North Carolina coast.

I'd DEFINITELY have to sit on the couch with Thel,
with a pan of cashew fudge between us. I could watch
two or three tv shows sitting there with Thel,
enjoying some of that delicious fudge!
Also, last nights PBS travelouge was about Italy,
where they know the 'fine art of doing nothing'. HAH!
The producers didn't even have to leave the USA to
find that. Just read some of the fine contributions by
our Mayberry neighbors.

Subject: " One Day In Mayberry "
If I could spend one day in Mayberry, what would I do? Well:
I'd want to wake up in the Taylors guest room & smell Aunt Bee cooking
breakfast in the kitchen. I'd watch Opie feed those songbirds there meal.
I'd wander downtown & sit outside the courthouse with Floyd & Andy & talk
about Calvin Coolidge. Lunch with Juanita at the diner would be enjoyable.
After supper maybe sit on the Taylors porch awhile & listen to Andy sing,or
make all the neighborhood dogs bark. Maybe wander down & listen to
the town
choir sing good old 14A, then retire for the night at the Mayberry hotel.
The only problem is I wouldn't want to leave the next day, would you??....

Hey, counting the minutes til Mayberry in the Midwest. Already chatted
with James Best by phone and we're looking forward to seeing each other
again. Got an interesting and nostalgic poem on an email today that
fits a lot of our thinking....Enjoy, lol
Disclaimer: If you're under 40 you won't get any of this
Ode to Black and White TV
You could hardly see for all the snow
So you'd spread the rabbit ears as far as they'd go
Pull up a chair to the TV set
"Good night, David; Good night, Chet."
Depending on the the channel you tuned
You got Rob and Laura - or Ward and June
It was oh so good and felt so right
Life looked better in black and white
Cable was something you used on your car
when the battery was dead, or you didn't get far
Nobody'd heard of remote control
To change the channel you went for a stroll
Not many channels but always something to see
until midnight came and no more TV
Just a test pattern that shrunk to a dot
Until 7 am that's all that you got
I Love Lucy, The Real McCoys
Dennis the Menace, the Cleaver boys
Rawhide, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train
Superman, Jimmy and Lois Lane
Patty Duke, Father Knows Best
Our Miss Brooks and all the rest
Donna Reed on Thursday night
Not a dysfunctional family in sight
I want to go back to black and white
Everything always turned out right
Good guys always won the fight
In God they trusted, in bed they slept
A promise made was a promise kept
They never cussed or broke their vows
They'd never make the networks now
But if I could I'd rather be
In a TV town in '53
Like Mayfield, Pixley or MAYBERRY
I'd trade all the channels on the satellite
If I could just turn back the clock tonight
To when everybody knew wrong from right
Life was better in black and white

Look me up at New Castle this weekend..will have a name badge on and be
in the orchestra pit for the big show saturday night. Not playing music

I reckon if I had a whole day to spend in Mayberry I would try my best to see
everyone I could. I would begin with breakfast at the diner, then maybe stroll
over to the picture show and watch them change the marquee. Then I might go
over and sit in front of the courthouse and pass the time of day with whoever
came along, I might even get to see Ernest T. or Malcolm helping the kids at
the school crossing on their way to school. I hope Ethel doesn't have any
sties! I might be as bold as Aunt Bee and try on a wig at the Beauty Salon,
there are so many functions coming up, and my hair is a mess. I would hope to
catch up with the social events coming up from Clara and Myra. Of course no day
would be complete in Mayberry without a visit to Floyd's barber shop, he
would probably be curious if my wig came from a chinese lady. I might even
consider a move to Mayberry and check out the job listings there in the Barber
shop. Mr. Crowley may need a person to make deliverys, of!
course I couldn't run as fast as Opie or Billy, but I would try and be
reliable. Maybe Mr. Foley needs someone to sweep out his meat locker?? I'd
eat my noon meal at the Snappy Lunch then go over and catch up with Miss Ellie
at Walker's drugstore and have a lemon phosphate with her, while catching up on
all the sick folks in Mayberry, especially Emma Watson, "bless her heart". In
the afternoon I would drop by the courthouse and listen as Ange tried to help
Barney recite the preamble to the constitution, then go by the "office" or the
school and see if Thelma Lou or Helen wanted to do a little shopping. Maybe
I'd have dinner at Morelli's or if I'm lucky Aunt Bee would invite me over for
one of her wonderful suppers, hopefully she would serve nesselrode pie. Then I
guess it would be back to the Mayberry Hotel to watch that George Raft movie on
tv or if I was lucky maybe the Darling's would be in town and they could
serenade me off to sleep with Charlene singing: "There I!
s A Time." Yep, that sounds like a good day in Mayberry to me!
