The Fishin' Hole Song:
Hi folks,
Anybody know where I can get "The Fishin' Hole Song" to download on my
cell phone? I can get several versions of it but none are the original
"whistle" version. When my cell phone rings, I want everyone to know
that "I'm a TAGS fan".
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I know of two meanings for the term "Salty Dog"....
1) According to Wikipedia: a salty dog is a cocktail of vodka or gin and
grapefruit juice, served in a glass with a salted rim. The salt is the only
difference between a Salty Dog and a Greyhound. Salty Dogs are also featured
in the game Kingdom of Loathing where it is made by mixing a grapefruit and
gin, which can later be combined with brine to make an especially salty dog.
2) According to an old dictionary that I have at work, "Salty Dog" is an old
naval term referring to a lifetime sailor who lives to find an easy woman or
a one-night-stand in whatever port he may be in. Also used to describe an
amorous sailor.
I suspect that old Charlene didn't want to be an old sailor, so I am leaning
toward the fact that she wanted to be an amorous sailor instead....and the
way she sang that song, that might indeed be the answer!

(by the way, I had 38 6-hour tapes of TAGS, but some have a little RFD or
Gomer mixed in amongst the TAGS humor. I am starting to record over some of
the tapes, however. Ever since I started buying TAGS DVD's, my wife is less
and less receptive to my buying any more blank tapes for recording other
shows. After all, that was one of the 'selling-points' I used to move those
TAGS DVD's up to the top of the family budget wish-list!)
My wife and I were singing along with Charlene the other day when she was
singing the song "Let Me Be Your Salty Dog", and after we got through I
looked at my wife, laughing and said "Honey will you let me be your Salty
Dog? She said "hmmmmmmmmm........ I don't know. I wonder what that
means?" I told her "I don't know either but the way Charlene sings it, it
must be good." I told her that I would ask all y'all and see if any of you
knew where this saying came from. So here goes...
Does anyone know what the saying "Salty Dog" means, or where it came from?

Let me be your salty dog

Honey let me be your salty dog
I was down in wild wood sitting on a log
Finger on the trigger [and eye on hog]
Honey let me be your salty dog
Let me be your salty dog
Or I won't be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog
Now look here Sal I know you
Run down [stocking] and a worn-out shoe
Honey let me be your salty dog
Let me be your salty dog
Or I won't be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog
I pulled the trigger and the gun said go
Shot fell over in Mexico
Honey let me be your salty dog

>>>>actually that surprises me Allan, cause if you hear the characters
talk about him during the show, they call him Mr. Schwump<<<<
That weird, I never heard anyone spell it on the show.
I being fa-si-shus I and know how you hate it when I get facetious
...but the point I'm making is we all her the same pronunciation....but
the man with the book and the script has the actually spelling.
Just because it rhymes with Crump, doesn't mean it's spelled with the
same vowel.
The letter a does make an "uh" sound sometimes. Like amuse (not umuse).
OK all that to say I'm stickin' with this story--this my be why the
wired spelling.
Your question has prompted me to offer yet another Schwamp hypothesis.
One day, on the set of the Andy Griffith show, a producer says to a
casting director. We need a Smiling Child-like Homely Winsome Affable
Meek Person to play the part of a memorable reappearing Extra. The
person need to be ready for the Mrs. Wiley party scene of the upcoming
"My Fairest Ernest T Bass" episode.
The casting director went through dozens of applicants, and hundreds of
photos trying to find the right person, with no luck. That night, on
the way home, the casting director stopped in a restaurant for a cup of
coffee. As he was pondering the tough assignment, another customer
sitting alone in a booth, lowered his newspaper and smiled and nodded at
the exhausted casting director. The details of what happened
next are not totally known, but the story goes that the unassuming
restaurant customer had such a stuttering problem that the interview
took hours.
The next day the casting director walked proudly into the Producer's
office with his discovery. The smallish man was dressed in a new suit,
but wore his own bad hair piece. Around his neck the casting director
had hung a sign that said "Smiling Child-like Homely Winsome Affable
Meek Person". The Producer read the sign aloud "Smiling Child-like
Homely Winsome Affable Meek Person" He smiled.
The casting director grinned broadly and repeated "Smiling Child-like
Homely Winsome Affable Meek Person." They laughed together and
repeated aloud together "Smiling Child-like Homely Winsome Affable Meek
Person" while the mystery guest just smiled and nodded.
Then the producer stopped laughing and asked, "what will we call him?"
...and the rest as they say is history (S.C.H.W.A.M.P.)

I was pretty heavy into taping the black & white episodes for a couple of
years. I've got 141 tapes, most of them containing 8 episodes of TAGS. The
tapes are all cataloged, and the tape boxes are labeled with correct episode
names and numbers. I'd say I've taped an average of 8 copies of each B&W
episode. (Some weren't shown as frequently as others....they were "skipped"
out of rotation. Others were shown more frequently, so I have more than 8
taped of them.) In addition, I have 10 Columbia tapes, 11 production tapes of
episodes available in stores, and the four new DVD sets.
The hard part wasn't "capturing" the episodes, as TAGS was airing on network
stations here at least twice a day, and airing on TVLand at least twice daily
too. I programmed my VCR, and could fill a tape with episodes in two days.
The time-consuming part was watching all the tapes, as the listings weren't
accurate on the DirecTV schedule. And, of course, the episodes were never
listed in network TV guides. But that was also the fun part of this hobby. A
lot of ironing got done in this house in front of Andy, Barney, Aunt Bee and
Opie.
When the news broke that the DVD seasons would be coming, I stopped taping,
though part of me still twitches when TAGS is being aired and I'm just letting
it slip off into space. I wonder what causes that.........

>>>who was the guy who was referred to as Floyd in the barbershop at the

Bob, I can't believe I never noticed that before! (And here I thought I was a
fairly decent trained noticer. I obviously need more training!) I took a
look, and--sure enough--that was NOT the real Floyd in the opening shot.
Of course, I can understand why. It was a long shot of "Floyd" with no
dialogue, so why bring in Howard McNear for that? The man in the scene was
probably Mr. McNear's stand-in, wouldn't you say? He was about the same
height, had a similar hair style, and wore the same glasses. I know that
stand-ins (though they are usually used for a different purpose) are picked
because they are the same height, build, and coloring as the actor for whom
they are standing in. Anyone know for sure if this man was Mr. McNear's
stand-in?
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Bob!

I couldn?t agree more. Yes, without a doubt, Ed Sawyer is my favorite too.
When you really stop to think about it, he simply was overawed to be
interacting with the actual citizens of Mayberry ? just like any of us TAGS
watchers would be if magically transported into that same situation.
My runner-up choice is perhaps more surprising: Malcolm Tucker, the "man in

Man are these DVDs great.! I have seen so many things in Mayberry that have
escaped me
over the years. With the zoom feature there is no stopping ole eagle-eye
Barn.
I just happened to notice that in the season four episode ?Andy?s Vacation?
Barney is reading an
account of his and Gomer?s arrest of the escapee from the Mayberry Gazette.
Three episodes later
in ?Divorce Mountain Style? ole Barn is reading from the same paper as
Charlene walks in. I guess the
paper didn?t get delivered very often at the courthouse.
Headline? ?Election Aftermath Bittersweet History?
Trivial trivialities!
