Two Chairs No Waiting

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:20:40

My wife and I recently took a trip to Tampa, FL where we were able to meet up with a Mayberry fan named Ron Blankenship.  Ron, who goes by Emmett in Mayberry circles, is one of those folks that belongs in Mayberry.  Like so many on The Andy Griffith Show, Ron has a quality of caring for his friends that makes him right at home with the citizens of Mayberry.

Ron chose the name Emmett to go by online because he’s a handyman himself.  The name just kind’a worked because he, like Emmett, can fix most anything.  I’m not sure about him being able to dance though…I didn’t think to ask him during the interview.

Ron is a fan just like you and me so who better to talk to than a fellow fan in order to learn what makes The Andy Griffith Show so special.

In late January 2014 The Andy Griffith Show cast member and all around great guy, LeRoy Mack performed for a packed house at the Zion Community Center near Gordo, AL.  The community center is an old two room school house that now acts as the gathering place for family reunions and special events.  LeRoy agreed to perform for an evening event in order to raise money for the center to be able to pay their insurance bills and whatnot.

What does that have to do with the Floyd & Otis at Zion title of this episode? We’ll, I’m glad you asked!  LeRoy was joined by Ken “Otis” Junkin (who actually attended Zion when it was still a school) and Allan “Floyd” Newsome (your host) for the evening and it was a fun night, let me tell you.

I can’t play LeRoy’s performance because he makes a living performing and selling his music but I can give you a taste of the fun that can be had in Mayberry.  We get to hear the opening act of the evening which was Floyd & Otis entertaining the crowd for twenty minutes or so.  You’re going get to hear what you’re missing by not attending the Mayberry events held throughout the country.  Make plans to attend one near you….you’ll love it.

We lost Don Knotts on February 24, 2006 so each year around that time we take an episode of the podcast to remember the man who Don was and what he’s meant to his fans.

This episode we’ll look at Don’s biography so we, as fans, can get to know who he was just a little better.  I hope you’ll join me in remembering Don Knotts.
