>>>Don't forget [Ronny Howard] also had a very memorable role in 1962's "The >>>Music Man" with Robert Preston and Shirley Jones (making two movies he's >>>done with her). And that makes me wonder if that inspired the episode >>>about the Mayberry band?
Dixon >>> I doubt it, but Ronny's role as Winthrop Paroo was surely the inspiration behind the scene at the beginning of "Andy and Barney in the Big City" in which Barney asks him to say a tongue twister (it's difficult, because Opie is missing a few teeth). Opie stumbles through it the best he can, and then comes back with "If you think that'th thomethin', you thould hear me thing a thong!" --Paul Mulik _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
