Subject: Aunt Bee's age
How old was Aunt Bee during the TAGS years?
Also,in reference to Yankees vs. Southerners: I'm a Yankee and take no offense
whatsoever to being called one. I do wish I were a Southerner though. Mainly
because I hate winter. That brings me to another question. Why did Andy's
house have a fireplace and why did Gomer chop a whole bunch of wood for him? I
didn't know that North Carolina had winters that cold. I've also noticed that
the "boys" wear sheriff's jackets quite often and they are always in long
sleeves- even when it's 92 degrees. Why DOESN'T somebody do something about
the weather?
I think I'll subscribe to that magazine a month club. I'd like a copy of Odd
Facts Known By Few.
Baby it's cold outside.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In case you haven't heard, CBS is planning to do a new "reality" TV show
based on "The Beverly Hillbillies," where they will seek out a real
"hillbilly" family and place them in a Beverly Hills mansion, give them lots
of money, turn on the cameras and see what happens. To counter that, Fox is
coming out with a reality show based on "Green Acres," where they take a
couple of "city slickers" and place them in a run-down rural situation. They
call it the classic "fish out of water" scenario.
I have an idea: Why don't they take all of us and put us in a Mayberry
reality series? Put us in a small town where everyone is friendly and
neighborly. A place where everyone goes to church on Sunday and later heads
down to the fillin' station for a bottle of pop. A place where we all look
out from one another and leave our doors unlocked. A place where a big (and I
mean BIG) night involves going over to Thelma Lou's for cashew fudge and a
little TV (perhaps that George Raft movie I've been wantin' to see). The
network will train their cameras on us 24/7, and . . . unless the Fun Girls
happen to show up . . . we'd be canceled in a week. They'd say, "You folks
are just not sexy or titillating enough for our sophisticated target audience
[i.e., hormonally charged males between the ages of 15 and 25 who buy things
indiscriminately]." Then they'd turn off all the cameras, pack up and head
back to Hollywood. But, hey, once the TV types hightailed it out of there,
maybe they'd let us stay. If it works out, the first round of Nectarine Crush
is on me.

P.S. Any of you guys out there interested in an "I Dream of Jeannie" reality
series? I've always wanted to be an astronaut ;-) .

I don't know if this has been mentioned here or not. I'm thinking maybe it
has been. But my memory makes me a little bit like Aunt Bee who can
remember the date of her birthday OK, but is a little fuzzy on the
year. Anyway, there's a musical group called Jubal Foster. Information
about them can be found at www.jubalfoster.com . There some ol' boys from
North Carolina and actively pay tribute to TAGS with their name as it says
in the bio section. I've not heard 'em yet, but they're listed in the play
list on the web site of a local Americana radio station not far from here.
I thought maybe y'all *g* might like to know, so I just thought I'd tell ya.

>>I've just posted some pictures of All Souls Church of Scott, Arkansas
USA.<<
Everybody needs a goal. A friend of mine has the goal of attending a
game in every major league park in the U.S.
Now if somebody was looking for a new hobby/goal, presuming they aren't
interested in metal work, leather craft, or a Mr. Potato Head set, a
great one would be finding and visiting every "All Souls Church" in the
world.
You could justify a trip to England and Malaysia for sure, if not to
that alligator farm near All Souls Church in Florida.

Subject: Y'all - just when you thought there was nothing more to be
said...
>
My family is from Nashville and goes back four generations or more on both
sides, but most of my
family never used y'all and spoke with a very light (some say indiscernible)
Southern accent. I
have found most of my friends who grew up in Nashville - the city - don't have
a heavy accent, but
the people from the smaller surrounding towns seem to have a much heavier
drawl, more Southern
slang, and less appropriate grammar. I think you can attribute some differences
in accent to
locale in the South and the school systems involved. Even 30 miles can make a
big difference.
Some time after my college years (majoring in education) I chose to adopt y'all
as a worthy and
time-saving contraction.
Aunt Bee and Clara grew up in the days when elocution and enunciation were
stressed, especially
for women. Depending on if they went to finishing school, charm school or other
courses offered to
well-bred young Southern ladies, it is entirely possible they would have a more
refined accent
than their male counterparts.
By the way, we almost always asked for a Coke, using soft drink sometimes for
variety and
depending on with whom we were socializing.
