To celebrate episode 92 we thought it would be nice to have Floyd host the show. To paraphrase Floyd, “Ninety-two, people always talking about podcast but nobody does anything about it.”
Floyd shares a flashback with us of a time when Bert Miller dropped by the barber shop with a business idea for Floyd. Enjoy this flashback and we hope you’ll let it take you to the land of rhythm and pleasure or at least to a scene in Mayberry that we never witnessed but now we get to hear.
Thanks to Joe Gritton (a.k.a. “The Untrained Voice”) for writing our “flashback!” This episode would NOT have happened without him. Joe also wrote the flashback in episode #17 so check that out too.

Who is the Mayberry Mystery Man? That’s a question that has been on the minds of fans for years and, like any good mystery, still keeps them guessing.
Mr. Schwamp, also known as Mr. Schwump by some, is the older dark haired man you often see sitting on the bench outside the barbershop or in groups of people in Mayberry.
Over the years, every cast and crew member of The Andy Griffith Show has been asked if they know the name of the actor who played Mr. Schwamp. While all of them remember him, none of them knows his real name.

Following episode #88, Mayberry fan Gaither Harwood stayed around in the chat room (I record the show live and some folks drop by and watch the live feed) and confirmed that Earle Hagen’s son was the original finger snapper for the Theme of The Andy Griffith Show.
I had thought that Earle had told me that during a conversation so when Gaither mentioned the same fact I was excited. I had not mentioned Deane Hagen’s finger snapping on the podcast because I couldn’t confirm my information. Thankfully Gaither has a better memory than me and pointed me right to that odd fact known by few in “The Definitive Andy Griffith Show Reference” by Dale Robinson and David Fernandes (page 310 of the hardcover edition).

We had a caller last week asking about Mayberry Days and what folks would want to make sure not to miss when they attend. I talked so much that I really didn’t get into the details of Mayberry Days so I thought I would spend this episode talking about several events coming up. Several of them occur each year so make plans to attend and I really believe you’ll have a wonderful time.
Mayberry Days isn’t the only event so check out the “Event Calendar” link at iMayberry.com for a complete list of events. Try and make plans to visit one of these events and support folks that are trying to bring a little bit of Mayberry to your corner of the world.

Several folks responded to our last episode about the “king” of whistlers, Fred Lowery. If you didn’t hear lasts weeks show (#87), you may want to go back and give it a listen before this episode. We’ll talk a bit more about who exactly it was that whistled the theme of The Andy Griffith Show and theories about why people believe that Mr. Lowery was that whistler.
We’ll also be talking a bit about Mayberry Days held the last full weekend of September in Andy Griffith’s hometown Mt. Airy, NC. It’s certainly a sight to behold and I encourage you to attend Mayberry Days if you have a chance. It’s gooooood!
