I believe they are also playing the same music during the square dance where
Aunt Bee is dancing with the Congressman and Andy & Helen are too tired to
join them.

My gradma on dad's side went to "normal school" here in Michigan. I
don't know how much school she actually taught though. I think she might
have taught for a little while and got married and "retired". I don't
think there were any frozen dinners back then.

I 've done some studyin' on that, and it's either "Tico,Tico", "Don't
Beat Your Grandma With a Great Big Stick" or "Tearin' Up Your Old
Clothes for Rags"
All of them make me cry

Here in Indiana we have a writer by the name of Philip Gulley.
He writes about a fictional small town in Indiana by the name
of Harmony. We Gullyites know the books as the Harmony Series.
They are loaded with colorful characters, messages of faith and
inspiration, and laugh-out-loud stories! Just as in Jan Karon's
Mitford Series (which I really like too) the similarity to Mayberry
is wonderful reading...
I'm sure you can find Mr. Gulley's books on the internet...

The title is "Barney's Hoe Down." Earle Hagen wrote it before the first
episode ever aired, and he apparently intended to use it as Barney's theme
song. At that time, no one really had any idea how the characters were
going to develop.
As it turned out, "The Man Hunt" (the minor key march that sounds sort of
like the theme from Dragnet) became Barney's theme, and "Barney's Hoe Down"
was used mostly when a light-hearted "country" or "hillbilly" flavor was
needed.

My guess is that I had a nickle for every woman who trained to be a teacher and
wound up involved with family instead, I'd be a wealthy woman. But I'd have to
move beyond the boundaries of Mayberry to collect.

Thanks to Aunt Bee of Orlando for mentioning the Mitford Series. One of the
hats I wear is that of a church librarian. When one of our ladies passed away,
we received a considerable number of memorial contributions designated to be
used for the library. (Miz Edna was quite a reader.) I always want families
to know how I use memorial funds, so I wrote to her son and told him that I was
able to purchase the entire Mitford Series in his mother's memory. He wrote
me the sweetest note that said, "When I retire I want to live in Mitford or
Mayberry."
BTW, we were recently in Blowing Rock, NC, the home of the author (Jan Karon),
and one of our favorite places, and it does have a definite Mitford feel to it.

If you all haven't discovered the Mitford series of books by Jan Karon, I
urge you to do so. The village of Mitford is enchanted, much like our
beloved hometown, and I know you will enjoy reading about the townfolk
and their goings-on.

I imagine Aunt Bee, Clara and many other young ladies of their era were
sent to a normal school just as wealthier girls were sent to "finishing
schools," unless a wedding was in the offing. As for that ubiquitous
fiddle number, I believe it was also played when Josh and Hanna were
running away from their feuding fathers and perhaps when Aunt Bee
square-danced with Senator Canfield; I kinda' like it! I've also heard it
on other sitcoms from that time period.
