I've collected a few Andy Griffith/TAGS sightings outside of TAGS and thought I would pass them along... - Andy and The County Boys are featured in a display on Bluegrass in Pop Culture at the new International Bluegrass Hall of Fame and Museum in Owensboro KY along with Martha White Flour, Beverly Hillbillies, Flatt & Scruggs in The Story of Bonny and Clyde. - IBMA Hall of Fame includes The Dillards, Clarence White and Roland White and their plaques reference them being on TAGS. A photo of The Dillards (probably taken early 90's) is featured prominently as you walk upstairs to the Hall of Fame room. - IBMA has been collecting oral/video histories from various bluegrass artists. The interview with The Dillards was done with all four original members in 2006. It is 2+ hrs long and I listened to about half at the museum. Try as I might to find its location online, access may only be thru the Museum or Univ of Kentucky. I'll share a link if I can find it. - Ray Stevens recently opened up "Caba-Ray" in Nashville and there is a slide show of photos that cycle through at the Piano Bar and they are wallpaper in the performance room. Andy Griffith is featured in one of the photos with The Jordanaires, who sang regularly with Elvis. I would guess this photo was from the late 70's based on hairstyle and apparel of one of the singers. Andy is post-Mayberry/pre-Matlock. - The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is a show on Amazon Prime. The second season takes place in the late 50's and there is a scene with someone watching TV and it is Andy Griffith as a guest on a television show. It is just playing in the background on Mrs. Maizel and I did not recognize the host, but based on IMDB, I bet it his 1957 appearance on The Steve Allen Show. I bet someone who has seen Mrs. Maisel (2nd or 3rd eps in Season 2) can confirm. http://www.bluegrassmuseum.org/ https://raystevenscabaray.com/
