(NOTE: Sorry for those that got the garbled version of the audio on this episode.  I made an uploading mistake on the MP3 file. It should be correct now. -Allan)

This interview was recorded on April 24, 1998 when Jan and I took a trip up to Mt. Airy for a visit.

One big memory of this trip was watching my son who was born in December 1996 get his first haircut. Russell is the person who did that first haircut for Adam and he even has a certificate from Russell testifing to the fact of that first haircut.

This is the conclusion of our two part interview with Russell Hiatt who is owner of Floyd’s City Barber Shop in Andy Griffith’s hometown of Mt. Airy, NC.

Russell tells us about some of the things in Mt. Airy that talked about on The Andy Griffith Show. People come from all over the country to sit in the barber chair and visit with Russell.

Thanks for listening!  Tell your Mayberry friends about the show and leave some comments or questions at iMayberry.com/podcasts or using the contact information given in the podcast.

Two Chairs No Waiting

Two Chairs No Waiting

You requested interviews with some of the good people from Mt. Airy, NC.  For those that might not know, Mt. Airy is Andy Griffith’s home town and home to Mayberry Days the last full weekend of September each year.

In the episode you’ll be hearing an interview I did with Russell Hiatt. Russell is the owner of Floyd’s City Barbershop located right next door to the Snappy Lunch on Main Street in Mt. Airy.  Russell *is* “Floyd” to those that visit Mt. Airy and he is a wonderful friend to all who know him.

The interview was recorded on April 24, 1998 in the back room of the barbershop so there’s a good bit of conversation in the background but I know you’ll find it worth listening.

Thanks for listening!  Please tell folks about the show and leave comments and questions at iMayberry.com/podcasts or by using the contact information given in the podcast.

Two Chairs No Waiting

Thank you to all who called and wrote into the show!  It’s wonderful hearing from all of you and it means a lot to know you’re listening and that you take time to say “hey.”

We have voice mail from Thomas, John, Eric, Tom, Jack, and a “mystery caller” who didn’t leave a name.  Could the mystery caller be Mr. Schwamp? We never heard him talk so……

We have several e-mails and comments as well so this episode is full of it….What’s that, Honey?  Well…they know what I meant.

Thanks to all of you for being a part of the show!
