The recent question concerning favorite Earle Hagen musical contributions was a good one. Last night I got a real chuckle during "Aunt Bee the Warden" when a drunken Otis Campbell emerged from Andy's guest bedroom holding onto the flower vase to the comical sounds of the Tuba/Bassoon music-added a great touch! Also, another brief moment during "The Jinx" when Barney quickly rubs Opie's hair one last time just for luck, there is a magical "twinkling" sound effect as he does this- funny stuff! The postings of Allan Melvin's many contributions to TAGS put me in mind of another fine all-purpose utility player who showed up regularly on episodes- Bob McQuain. He would drive by in his old pickup truck and taunt Barney for skipping rope or having lipstick smeared on his face, or in one episode played the outraged honeymooner whose privacy was violated by Barney. Last night he served duty as one of the notorious Gordon boys in lockup.Fine contributions!
