Two Chairs No WaitingHost: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:13:00

We had fun last week with Mayberry tribute artist Ken “Otis” Junkin (a.k.a. Big Maude) and I didn’t want the fun to end.

This episode we get to hear a bit more from Ken but this time it’s about his trip to Hollywood back in January 2000 to see Don Knotts get his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  Episode 97 of Two Chairs No Waiting was devoted to the topic of Don Knotts’ star and you’ll want to go back and give that podcast a listen after you hear Ken’s tale.  Atta boy, Ken!

We’ll also hear a short but fun story by tribute artist Christie McLendon who fills the role quite well of Charlene Darling Wash’s daughter, all growed up, Andylina.  You should remember Andylina. The baby version of her was betrothed to Opie Taylor but some witchery on Andy’s side of the family broke off the betrothal.

Follow me on Twitter if you use twitter. I’ve been posting Mayberry things there as another way to let folks know about The Andy Griffith Show.

Two Chairs No WaitingHost: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:19:45

For the last several years there has been a Mayberry tribute artist for the character of “Big” Maude Tyler (a.k.a. Ralph Henderson).  What many of you may not know is that Big Maude is portrayed by the same person who performs as the tribute artist for Otis Campbell.  That’s right, Ken Junkin is Otis and Big Maude.  That’s the actor of the man.

We get to hear about Ken’s experience purchasing the shoes need to portray the convict at large and how the ladies in the shoe store reacted to his purchase.

The conversation with Ken was recorded following the Mayberry Comes to Westminster event held in April 2012.  Several of the tribute artist and Mayberry fans were sitting in the lobby of the hotel enjoying some good fellowship with fellow Mayberry fans and I encouraged Ken to tell his story.
