I'm just getting caught up on a week of Travel. We visited Dollywood. Those of you around Knoxville know that theme park pretty well. One of the first Music performances I was able to see was these three guys picking guitars and such. Do you know what the first song they sang was?? "Salty Dog" I just thought the Darlings had showed up and took over. I was waiting' for Darlene the chime right in. It was really special. It made me feel like I was right there in Mayberry.
Then in my hotel, I got to see Gomer Pyle USMC on cable. We don't get it on our cable at home. This one episode I saw, Gomer was to take this nice girl on a date, as a bet between Sgt. Carter and Sgt. Hacker (good ole' Alan Melvin). The girl was very nice and Mayberry-like. I looked twice because I thought it might be that College kid... but do you know who it was? Susan Oliver, from "Prisoner of Love" (Lady Prisoner who Andy almost kissed.) What a different type of character. I guess that's the actress in the lady. Someone asked if Howard's girl in "a Date for Goober" was Charlene..and yes that was Maggie Petersen Mancuso, also playing a different role. Ken, that's an interesting theory about Mr. Schwamp, but we here at the Schwamp Fan Club and Hair Loss support group are not quite buying it. We believe he never married, live alone quietly, was a real (quiet) party animal, often got a Root Beer buzz, and possibly ran the funeral home. I mean do you think a father of a young boy would be at Mrs. Wiley's party? Or standin' in stag lines? Well it's a nice observation that they are both so quiet, so you could be right...but we just don't see him as a Daddy on a youngin.
