Mayberry Days 2013 was one of the most fun Mayberry Days for me in recent years. That is saying a LOT. The wonderful weather may have been a factor but I believe it was the fans. It seemed to me that everybody had a smile on their face and was in a true “Mayberry” mood.
This episode of the podcast was recorded in the “Otis Mobile” (a.k.a. Kenneth Junkin’s Tahoe). Ken allows me to ride to and from Mayberry events with him when my wife isn’t going and that’s fairly often. We have a great time riding around and come up with ideas for future Mayberry skits more times than not. This time, I thought it would be fun to have Ken help me file a report from Mayberry about the 2013 Mayberry Days.
I know you’re going to enjoy it but please realize that we cut the report short because the show was already running long and there was so much more to tell about Mayberry Days. It’s hard to cover everything in the length of an episode so this is just a taste of what you really experience at Mayberry Days. Make plans to be there the first chance you get.

The eBullet is *always* something I look forward to receiving in my e-mail inbox but the September 2013 issue had a real gem contained within. Jim Clark, the Presiding Goober of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC), and his wife were on a well deserved vacation when they found something no artist could draw.
What was it, you might ask. Well it was none other than the actual motorcycle Mayberry fans know as Barney Sidecar. That’s right! It is *the* motorcycle ridden by Barney himself in the TAGS episode “Barney’s Sidecar.”
Jim shared the experience with all of us in The eBullet and has allowed me to share it with you in this episode of Two Chairs! Don’t miss this one and don’t forget to subscribe to The eBullet so you never miss a jewel like this wonderful story.

There was talk in newspapers this summer about tourism related to The Andy Griffith Show and how it was slowing down. I don’t know exactly what evidence the writer was using to write the article but I had the feeling that there wasn’t really any proof of things slowing down. It was more of a “people can’t really keep enjoying ‘Mayberry’ so things have to be slowing down.”
I can’t say how things are in Mt. Airy, NC all year round but I can tell you that the Mayberry fans that live there don’t see “Mayberry” as dying. I don’t think things are like some in Mt. Airy seem to believe and neither does John Peters who writes for PilotMountainNews.com.
Mr. Peters wrote an article in September 2013 titled “Still Plenty of Demand for Mayberry Tourism” and in this episode we’ll explore what he had to say as well as comment on his report.

Burke on Mayberry 116 – 2013 Mayberry Days Festival
Running time: 11:47
Kevin L. Burke discusses the annual “BIG” event known as “Mayberry Days” in Mount Airy, North Carolina (Andy Griffith’s childhood hometown). Be sure to visit www.BurkeOnMayberry.com .
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.
