In episode 594 of Two Chairs No Waiting we had fun getting to know Andy Griffith Show fan and actor Danny Vinson. In this episode we get to see some behind the scenes conversation with Danny showing us around his memory room. The room is full of memories of his carrier and it’s really amazing how many of Danny’s stories turn into Mayberry stories. He’s a true fan and I know you’re going to enjoy it.

One thing I would recommend is that you actually watch the video version of this episode. Danny shows us a lot of things and I think the video makes it a bit more fun. I did the best I could to make the audio version fun for those who can’t, or don’t want to, watch the video.

No Mayberry History report this week because I’m on the set filming the Mayberry Man movie.

I received a letter from a long time Mayberry friend

I met Danny Vinson several years ago at the George Lindsey Film Festival and right away I knew he was a Mayberry man through and through. Over the years I’ve been able to get to know him better and consider him a friend. I should also mention that Danny is a “working actor” which means he makes a living acting. He’s been in more than 86 movies, had done television, and commercials….but mostly, he’s a great guy.

I know you’re going to enjoy hearing him talk about how he met George “Goober” Lindsey, Don Knotts, Howard Morris, and so much more. As I said, he’s a fan of The Andy Griffith Show and when I meet a fellow fan, there’s always plenty to talk about.

Bonus: This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “Harry Arnie.”

Bruce Bilson and Clint Howard join Neal for the last in this series of interviews. I encourage you to go back and listen/watch this series again because the information provided is a treasure for any fan of The Andy Griffith Show.

For those who may not know, Clint played the little cowboy with a peanut butter & jelly sandwich named “Leon” on The Andy Griffith Show and is the younger brother of Ron Howard who played “Opie.”

Bruce Bilson was assistant director of “The Andy Griffith Show” from 1960-62 and in this series of podcast episodes we’ll hear Neal Brower’s interview from 2015 when Mr Bilson returned to Mayberry Days to share his knowledge of Mayberry. This part of the interview has amazing information related to The Andy Griffith Show that you do not want to miss. The topics he and Clint will shed light on in this episode are: Ronnie Howard as an actor, listening is important, calling Ronnie to the set, Rance Howard and what he meant to his son’s, Ronnie as a “big brother,” Howard McNear, Hal Smith, and more!

Don’t miss the first series of episodes featuring Neal Brower’s interview with The Andy Griffith Show assistant director Bruce Bilson recorded during “Professor Brower’s Class” at Mayberry Days 2011. If you haven’t heard them, check them out starting with part 1 all the way through to part 4.
