Part 2?  What happened to Part 1?  Part 1 was done to celebrate the 100th episode of the podcast with Andy Griffith joining us in a recording of his address to the crowds at Mayberry Days 2004.  We continue that presentation with Part 2.

Andy discusses how they came up with the idea for The Andy Griffith Show and a bit about how the tone of the show was set.  He tells us if he’s getting rich off of re-runs of The Andy Griffith Show.  Andy also mentions the Presiding Goober of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club by name and that is BIG for all of us who are members.

2004 was the year that TV Land presented the Andy & Opie statue to the city of Mt. Airy.

Thank you to Doug Rogers for providing us with this outstanding audio of Andy’s comments.

To celebrate the 100th episode of the podcast, we have “the man himself,” Andy Griffith, joining us in the form of his address to the crowds at Mayberry Days 2004.

2004 was the year that TV Land presented the Andy & Opie statue to the city of Mt. Airy.  It was Andy Griffith’s request to TV Land that made this occur and Mayberry fans everywhere are thankful to Andy for making that request.

Thank you to Doug Rogers for providing us with this outstanding audio of Andy’s comments.

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.

Last week we spoke of TAGSRWCs 30th Anniversary and this week I’m following up with the “Who’s Been Messin’ Up the Bulletin Board?” Chapter’s 18th Anniversary.  I’ll talk a bit about the WBMUTBB Chapter but to give you a heads up, it was the first official online chapter of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers club and over time has produced to date 4,966 editions of the WBMUTBB Digest daily newsletter.

Don’t worry…I’m going to throw in some trivia for you to test yourself with as well.  Not just ANY trivia either. This will be a few questions from the “Super Bowl of Mayberry Trivia” held each year during Mayberry Days in Mt. Airy, NC.  These questions are HARD so don’t feel bad if you don’t know them.  I’ll throw in an easy one or two so folks like me can feel good about getting one right.

Don’t forget to leave comments or ask questions on the iMayberry.com/podcasts website or using the contact information given in the podcast. We’d love to have you be a part of our next feedback episode.
