Two Chairs No Waiting

Running time: 0:29:52

Mayberry in the Midwest, 17-18 May 2014, was an amazing event so this episode I’m going to recap the event.  I’m also going to share some clips I was able to get permission to use on the podcast.

This was the first year for Danville, IN to host Mayberry in the Midwest following a three year run in New Castle, IN which ended in 2004.  So ten years later the town of Danville took up the call and became Mayberry for a weekend in May.  The streets were lined with Mayberry patrol cars and smiles were popping out all over the town square.

The festival spread out all over town and on Sunday the 18th the Mayberry Squad Car Nationals were also held in Danville.  It was big…BIG, big….Aw, Big at the word for it.

I hope you get just  a little of the feeling of what the event was like as I describe what fans were able to experience during the weekend.  You really do need to make plans to attend a Mayberry event because I know you’d walk away with wonderful memories.

A big thank you to Janet Anderson for the photos seen on the video version of the podcast!

Two Chairs No Waiting

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:22:08

When I started this podcast, the main reason was to release the interviews I had done with cast members of The Andy Griffith Show back in the late 1990’s.  This interview with Jim Nabors is the last of those interviews.  I had been keeping this one in my pocket for a special occasion and finally thought it was time.  Jim Nabors performed “Back Home Again in Indiana” his past weekend for the final time at the Indianapolis 500 after having begun the tradition of him singing it back in 1972.  That seems like a special occasion to me.

This interview was done on September 5, 1998 at Governor’s Palace in Pigeon Forge, Tenn.  My wife and I were able to arrange to go back stage before his performance to get this interview.  It was a wonderful experience and he put us at ease right off the bat.

I know you’re going to enjoy it.

Have you ever been to a Mayberry event?  In this episode we’ll talk about why I think you, as a fan of The Andy Griffith Show, should sit down and make plans to attend one of the many Mayberry related events around the country.  One of those reasons being getting to meet fellow fans in the flesh.

Over the years, I have met some of the salt of this earth at Mayberry events and many of them are now close friends.  Those friends are from all over the country and we tend to meet at events….kind’a like a family reunion of Mayberry fans.

I know that sounds all mushy but the people I have met through my fandom of The Andy Griffith Show are truly special. I know you are missing a blessing if you don’t take a chance and get to meet them too.

I was in Westminster, SC this past weekend for the 4th Annual Mayberry Comes to Westminster and while there I was asked what information I have on Jack Prince.  I didn’t have much but luckily I was able to find an issue of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club official newsletter than had great info about Mr. Prince.

The Bullet (Volume 8, Issue 3) April 30, 1993 has a wonderful article about Jack Prince and Jim Clark, being a prince himself, has allowed me to use items from issues of The Bullet and share them with you.  If you’d like to have your own copy of that issue of The Bullet, just follow the link.

Last episode we talked about the episode of The Andy Griffith Show called “Mayberry on Record” and the reversed audio we hear when Mr. Maxwell is rewinding the tape recorder that Barney had just spoken into.  I played around with the audio and tried to pull out some of what was said and challenged some of you audio engineers out there to help us figure out even better what was being said.

Mike Peacock from Indiana rose to the occasion and provided exactly what I had asked for so on this episode we’ll hear Mayberry on Record, reversed!  Thank you so much, Mike, for taking time to do this for all us Mayberry fans.

Paul Mulik wrote in to give us even more information about Mayberry on Record which included the name of the actual album used as the “Mayberry on Record” stand-in during the episode epilogue.  Great information all around about this wonderful TAGS episode.

Finally, we hear from James Robert Phillips, Sr. about “Andy’s Gift” to all fans of The Andy Griffith Show. He had posted his thoughts on a Facebook group and I asked for permission to share it here on the podcast. Thanks to him for allowing the use of his heartfelt Mayberry thoughts.

He was out!  That’s right!  Following our last podcast episode, the listeners have spoken and agree by a majority that Opie was out.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about, head back to episode 276 of Two Chairs and give it a listen…we’ll wait right here.

Two listeners called in to share their comments with us about the call Andy made and to give another bit of trivia related to the episode of The Andy Griffith Show called “Mayberry on Record.”

Friend of the show, Jack Fellenzer, send me a bumper sticker for a feller running for Lt. Governor in Arkansas who’s name is….. Andy Mayberry!  I’m not getting political here on the podcast but when you visit his website you see right there in the top left corner the words “Nip it in the Bud!” so how bad can he be?  He is a big fan of The Andy Griffith Show and his name is Andy Mayberry.  That’s great!  I don’t know his politics but he would certainly get my attention enough to check him out if I was in his state.
