>>>Saw Will Wright (Ben Weaver) on the first of his 2 Lone Ranger episodes. >>>Really special because Will, at the end, got to say that famous line "Why, >>>he's the Lone Ranger!"
Dan>>> This reminds me of a story I once hear Andy Griffith tell to an interviewer. Many of you have no doubt noticed that in several episodes, Andy Taylor has a little mannerism where he sort of turns his head sideways and makes a distinctive sound; it is sort of like a whistle, but just a whoosh of air without any "tune" to it if you get what I mean. One time in particular comes in Andy Discovers America, when he tells the boys the story of Paul Revere and the Minutemen. He says "... the British come prancin' along in their fancy red suits a-waving to the girls, they let 'em have it!," and at that moment he turns his head to the side and makes the whooshing sound. Anyway, in the interview, Andy Griffith revealed that he picked up that little mannerism from his father Carl Griffith, when they would listen to The Lone Ranger on the radio. At the end of each episode, someone would ask "Who was that masked man?" and they'd get the answer "That was the Lone Ranger!" and then Carl would look at young Andy and do that little mannerism. So that's where it came from. Paul Mulik Sent from the Mayberry Courthouse _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.wbmutbb.com/
