Richard, the fiddle tune you're thinking of is "Barney's Hoe Down," and it was composed by Earle Hagen for The Show.
>From the title, it is apparent that this tune was originally intended to be >Barney's theme song, but once the character began to develop it didn't work >out that way. The song which ended up being used as Barney's theme is called >"The Man Hunt." It's the march in a minor key with the melody in the >trombones, reminiscent of the theme from Dragnet. Both of these tunes are included on the album "Songs, Themes and Laughs from The Andy Griffith Show." The original LP is a scarce collectors' item, but a few years ago it became available on CD (try Weaver's).
