The Andy Griffith Museum recently obtained a 1964 record that included a Jack Wagner (Disney voice and Los Angeles radio personality) interview with Andy Griffith that would have been played on the radio. The museum plans to eventually add this to the digital audio information available to visitors. The record includes interviews with a number of different stars of the era with accompanying song or comedy sketch. Andy Griffith's "Cleopatra" is included with his interview. The AGM Director of Collections sent the following notes on the interview: Jack Wagner ask him about his time at Goldsboro High School teaching, and if he wrote his comedy routines. Andy explained that some he wrote and others he had help from friends. In regards to Cleopatra, Andy received help from Aaron Ruben. Andy asked if there were any radio stations listening at that moment and Wagner responded, yes! WGBR in Goldsboro as well as WPAQ in Mount Airy. Andy noted that WPAQ was in Mount Airy where he grew up and were his family resided and that WPAQ was about 5 miles from the Virginia line. Wagner asked him about his hobbies. Andy responded: his wife, his children, his dog, his shotguns, and his shooting.
