Two Chairs No Waiting

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:24.10

This episode we conclude our wonderful interview with Betty “Thelma Lou” Lynn as we hear more from her about her amazing career before The Andy Griffith Show.  We also get to hear a bit about her time on TAGS and how much she enjoyed her time on the show.

There is a great story about spending a Halloween evening sitting with Margaret Hamilton reading ghost stories.  I’m sure you’ll remember the BIG role that Margaret played on a little film called “The Wizard of Oz” but if not you’ll know by the time this episode ends.  Another highlight is Betty talking about teaching a dance step to Marilyn Monroe.  There are so many things you will not want to miss so start listening.

Two Chairs No Waiting

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:26:18

The celebration began last episode when we matched the episode total of The Andy Griffith Show and continues this week the first part of our interview with Betty Lynn. Mayberry fans know Betty as Thelma Lou but Betty has done so much in her career.

Interviews usually focus on Betty’s experience on The Andy Griffith Show and while that is understandable, I wanted to focus a bit more on things about Betty that you may not have heard.  She was very young when she started in show business. We get to hear about her time as a USO performer, early career in New York, moving to Hollywood with her mom to work for FOX, and so much more.

You will  enjoy this special episode and come back next week for the conclusion of Betty’s interview.

Wow…249!  Two Chairs No Waiting has reached an episode total matching the number of episodes of The Andy Griffith Show and it’s time to celebrate that achievement by visiting some of our guests from past episodes of Two Chairs.

Guest from the very early days of Two Chairs were kind enough to agree to drop back by our little corner of Mayberry and visit with us.  We have a hole mess of folks so I’m just going to list them in the order they appeared with links to their episodes listed below in the “Related Links” section.

In appearance order: Al Gandolfi, Tim Pettigrew, Debbie Miles,  Darrel Miles, Samantha Miles, Tim White, Bob Mundy, Alma Venable, Kenneth Junkin, Rodney Dillard, Maggie Peterson, Jeff Branch, and David Browning.  Ain’t that BIG!  Please note that the appearance order is relative only to when I caught up with each one…they’re all number one in my book.

I hope you enjoy the show and thank you for joining me on this special episode.  “Aww….Big ain’t the word for it.”

Two Chairs No Waiting

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:18:56

Welcome to the conclusion of our visit with George “Goober” Lindsey from  1990 University of North Alabama (UNA) homecoming game. If you haven’t already heard last weeks episode, head over to episode 247 and give it a listen then come on back here.

As I mentioned last week, George “Goober” Lindsey attended UNA back when it was known as Florence State Teachers College.  As a result “Goober” was at UNA for their homecoming game back in 1990 against Tennessee-Martin.  UNA eventually won the game 49-0 so, as you might expect, the play-by-play folks on the radio were struggling to find things to talk about to make the game interesting. In stepped George Lindsey and for the 3rd quarter announcer Jerry Knight was joined by “Goober” for commentary.
