I was perusing through Carol Burnett's recently released autobiography 'This Time Together' at the local WAL-MART. She devoted one chapter (albeit very short) on Jim Nabors entitled, cleverly enough, "Jim Nabors." (The chapter was so small, I read it right there on the spot!) In 1965, Carol viewed a "Gomer" episode in which Gomer was playing guitar and singing to his "girlfriend." She was so impressed, she sent him a letter as a fan. She viewed their relationship as a brother-sister one. Nabors was used as her "good luck charm" for the premiere episodes of every season of 'The Carol Burnett Show' from 1967 to 1978. She relates that once they both played together in Las Vegas. After closing the show with 'The Impossible Dream', Jim comes backstage to an awaiting Carol and says in his "Gomer" voice "I just bought myself a new tractor!"
