Yes, in one of the firts episodes Opie quotes something by Johnny Paul
Jason & Andy replied "That's an old wives tale" Opie--"Johnny Paul ain't
never been married" There was one about putting a penny out in a storm &
one about old tar being good for something. He was quoted several times
before being seen. Sad day in Mayberry when Keith Thibodeaux aka Richard
Keith's mom decided to come back home to Louisiana & take him with her.
Arno;d, Trey, & the others just weren't the same as Johnny Paul Jason.
Plus, he could have been in the band with Opie. You know that boy could
play the drums; after all he learned from Desi Arnaz, Senior!

I don't think we ever Arnold's daddy, the doctor. Or Flip Conroy's daddy

I found this on the Internet about the term "bread and butter". Barney said
it when he and Andy were walking in the woods and as passed on either side of
a tree, Barney said "bread and butter". This is all I can find so far.
Paul from Nashville
Dear Word Detective: The expression "bread and butter" was used in a Warner
Brothers cartoon. In it, two leopards were pacing back and forth in a divided
cage. As they passed each other they each said, "bread and butter." To what
does that refer, and from where does it originate? -- Jim Gates, via the
Internet.
I'm glad you asked this question, because I have heard this odd phrase from
my wife for more than 25 years. We will be walking down the street, and every
time we are separated by an obstruction in our path (parking meter, movie
star, alien spacecraft, whatever), she will demand that I say "bread and
butter." Until now I presumed that this quaint ritual was a throwback to her
childhood spent in short-order diners, but apparently this "bread and butter"
business is more widespread than I had thought.
But it's not so widespread as to be well-documented, evidently. Only one
source (the Dictionary of American Regional English, or DARE) of many that I
checked even mentioned the phrase. DARE explains it as "an exclamation used
when
two people walking together are momentarily separated by someone or something
coming between them." The earliest citation listed by DARE is from The
Federal Writers Project "Guide to Kansas" published in 1939, where the "bread
and
butter" ritual is described as a "ubiquitous" incantation among
schoolchildren of the area. If it was ubiquitous in 1939, the ritual is
probably much
older, possibly dating back to at least the 19th century.
"Bread and butter" is not listed in one place I hoped to find it, Iona and
Peter Opie's "The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren" (Oxford University
Press, 1959). As this extraordinarily fine volume (now, unbelievably, out of
print) covers only the British Isles, "bread and butter" may be a native
American
creation.
As to its meaning, I think it's simply one of a number of rituals children
follow, on the order of "step on a crack and break your mother's back,"
designed to invoke magical protection from bad luck. In this case, the fact
that
bread and butter "go together" gives the ritual power as an affirmation of
togetherness, lest a momentary separation be an omen of permanent one.

Hey Folks,
I just want to remind everybody to DROP BY Weaver's Department Store
from time to time. Weaver's has carried those cards, plus a LOT more,
for a long time. Also, if you buy from Weaver's....you're helping to
support this list and "The Andy Griffith Show" Rerun Watchers Club
(TAGSRWC) with your purchase.

By the way, the cards are found here

In trying to figure out which house is Wally's in Man in a Hurry, the
background shots from the church showed a 4-posted porch on the house next
to Andy's, so I figured that was Wally's. In the scene filmed on the porch
(Watch out, I'm going to rock forward.), we see the 4-posted porch plus
there is stump in the front yard that Mr. Foster has to walk around when he
storms off. With a little rewinding of the church scenes, you can see
something is in the front yard of the that house.
I got to wondering if this might be the same stump that Ernest T and Romeena
hop over in My Fair Ernest T. At the end of that episode, everyone is
outside of Mrs. Wiley's house. When Ernest T. and Romeena run off, the
camera pans to the left. We then see that Mrs. Wiley's house is really the
Rimshaw house and we get a quick shot of Andy's garage since his house is
next door. But the camera skips Andy' house and goes to the next one where
our 2 lovers skip up onto the porch (a 4 poster) then back out into the yard
to hop over the same stump Mr. Foster walks around. So Wally lives next
door to Andy who lives next door to Mrs. Wiley.

We only get to see Andy's back porch and yard a few times, but while
watching Mr. McBeevee, I wondered where the backyard stuff was filmed. It
doesn't look like a set so I figured it was somewhere on 40 Acres. Anybody
got any ideas?

I just wanted to share a little Mayberry Moment with all of you.
Saturday night, my husband and I were spending the night in an old
historical inn that's supposed to be haunted; while having dinner at the
inn we overheard the couple next to us discussing how new stores open. The
man is telling how the stores first have a soft opening before the grand
opening to have a sort of shake down to see how things go. My husband and I
both snap our heads up at the same time looking at one another with wide
eyes and big smiles as we whisper together "SHAKE DOWN!!!" We then had a
good laugh. After dinner we then went up to our room to watch TAGS.
You just never know when you'll have a Mayberry Moment!!!
If you're wondering, no we didn't see any ghosts at the inn.... perhaps
we'll try staying at the Rimshaw House next time.

I think the Face in the Crowd black paint thing was more than to keep
out reflections. It was more for the character of Lonesome as a drifter
and a beat up looking primer painted guitar helped that out.. It was
painted black and had sequins spelling out Momma (Momma Guitar) and
Lonesome for a show-biz effect.
I thought I had a picture of the guitar, but not really. I'll have to
watch the movie again to see it better. I do have some memorabilia from
this great movie. I have three lobby cards framed from " A Face in the
Crowd" I have the original sheet music for Mama Guitar that has a small
picture of Andy with the guitar on the cover, but you can't really make
out the details on the Martin. I also have a French movie tabloid from
January 1958(price 30 Fr - not sure what that was relative to a quarter)
with "UN HOMME dans La Foule" with Andy and Patricia Neal as the cover
photo and featured article.
Is he one of ours?
