How appropriate that the Mount Airy Barber, the real life proprietor of "Floyds Barber Shop" Russell Hiatt was interviewed by Tribute artist "Floyd" Allan Newsome, and posted on a Podcast called "Two Chair No Waiting" Speaking for those of us who have never been to Mt. Airy or Mayberry days..what a wonderful peek into one of the great people there. Thanks for sharing! The sound came our great. Allan must have had one of those fancy doo-hickey's like Mr. Maxwell to record the interview. Great stories, worth the listen.
Thanks to Phil Fox also for the kind words on the script for Floyd's interaction with Bert Miller. So how many chair shop does Russell have? Does he still have the magazines to swing it? The UV I'm going to post this one more time, because I worked so hard on it, I wanted to make sure The questioner Doug Johnson saw it. Doug stopped the DVD on the State inspector episode, when noticing a strange sign in on a Mayberry store. ER AJWZK B <<After rewinding and pausing it to make sure (ain't TiVo wonderful?) I was able to make out the sign to read "ER HAJWZK B". Anyone know what this is supposed to mean? Sort of resembles Ernest T's recitation of the alphabet. Doug Johnson<< That's a funny story about that store, Doug. Barney was running around town tellin' everyone that the state inspector was coming. Mr. Scwamp noticed an old abandoned bird's nest in the sign across the street. He borree'ed a ladder to go up and clear it out. When he was up there doing that, he accidently knocked all the letters off the sign, and dropped his reading glasses out of his pocket. (there's a rule in Mayberry that you only put on glasses when you really need them so's the town don't look too nerdy, right Ken? ). Well, he got the letters picked up (most of them) and went back up the ladder. When he got up there he noticed that one of the R's broke and looked like a "K", and the D still had birds nest stuff in it and looked like a "B". He started to arrange the letters when Barney cam running down the street again yelling "He's comin'! the Inspector's comin'!" He was supposed to spell out "J & Z HARDWARE" (Jimmy and Zack's) but he left the H, A, and & on the street and the rest he threw up there as ER AJWZK B as fast has he could. That crazy inspector didn't even notice the weird sign, but he did right on his little notepad.
